type/typewriter

• Explain or show what a typewriter is and talk about the differences between a manual type-

writer, like the one used in the story, an electric typewriter, and a computer word processor.

Explain that compared to an electric typewriter, a manual typewriter is noisier and you must

push harder on the keys. An electric typewriter is faster and the keys are more sensitive to

the touch.

• List and discuss parts of a typewriter: keys, paper, cartridge, carriage, ink, ribbon, etc.

• Explain that a person who types is a typist (not a typer).

•Try to get a typewriter into the classroom and other keyboard items such as a computer

keyboard, Alphasmart, TTY and others. Discuss similarities and differences; make a Venn

diagram. Ask the students if these all make the click, clack, clickety clack sound. Why or

why not?

• Use the keyboards to do some fun keyboarding activities and practice typing words, phrases,

sentences or short stories.

• Type can be a noun or verb and has several meanings.

Verb = to hit the keys on a typewriter (when we hit the keys on a keyboard, we often say to

keyboard or to write, rather than to type)

Noun = kind or sort; things that go together because of common qualities

Noun = the raised metal letters used in printing machines

•Make a graph to show different types of things the students like. Ask: What types of food do

you like? What types of activities do you like to do after school? What types of animals do the

students have as pets?

• Click, clack, clickety clack is the sound a manual typewriter makes (at least in our story!).

Writing

•Have each student think of an –er word meaning a person who does something, for example,

a dancer or baker, and write it on a 5x7 index card. On the back of the card have the students

illustrate the word and write the following sentences: I am a ________. I am a person who

_________. Students can then use yarn to wear the card as a necklace. Students can take

turns reading and signing/saying their sentences; for example, “I am a dancer. I am a person

who dances.”
