This book is about a colorful and exciting bear named Paddington, and is only one in a series of Paddington books. This story is all about this talking bear and the interesting situations that he manages to get himself into. In the opening we learn that the tooth that Paddington just lost has been dropped down the waste disposal by Mrs. Brown, and Paddington is not happy. Each of the following chapters present Paddington in a different situation, some of which include: trying out a really old sewing machine, entering a gymkhana, restoring an old car, and acting as a detective. The story ends with Paddington getting invited to a charity ball, and participating in a dance competition.
After reading this book with the students in my classroom, I would put the children into groups of three or four, and assign each group a chapter in the book. I would then have them use some sort of technology to present their assigned chapter to the class, such as a prezi, wordle, glogster, etc. In their presentation they would summarize their chapter, include their opinions on it, and “talk back” to the text.
