Hook: Say, "Here is a picture from the book Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. Who can tell me what they think the monsters are doing in this picture?" Use random reporting (pulling popsicle sticks) to allow students to answer the question. "In a story, what would help tell us what is going on in this picture?" Ask the class until they understand the picture needs words to describe the monster's actions.
"Now listen to these words. (Read another passage from the story, but do not show the picture) Can anyone describe the picture that would go along with these words?" Poll the class. Once students have shared their ideas, show the illustration.
"In our lesson today, we are going to learn about the two roles, or jobs, in telling a story. These two jobs are author and illustrator." The teacher should write these two words on the board or a sheet of chart paper, somewhere the students can see the words and point to the words while saying them
