1 Preview the story

• Explain that there are various ways in

which people communicate. We can use

sign language, speaking, writing, gestures,

body language, and facial expressions to let

others know what we want or need. Tell the

students that in the story “Click, Clack,

Moo, Cows That Type,” the animals com-

municate with the farmer by typing notes.

•Discuss the pragmatics of notes. Notes tend

to be short and can be formal or informal.

There are different types of notes for differ-

ent purposes: a thank-you note, a note from

a parent to the teacher, an apology, etc.

• Notes can have special vocabulary (as let-

ters do). Dear and Sincerely set a certain

tone. When Farmer Brown demands milk

and eggs from the animals and then signs

the note with sincerely, he is really being

sarcastic. Role-play expressions and discuss

how print can convey a certain feeling or

meaning.

•Print out the seven notes used in the story.

These can be found in the Teacher

Resources section on the Cornerstones Web

site. Display them in your classroom for the

students to refer to while working with

this unit.
