Cora Cooks Pancit Lesson Plan
A lesson plan I created for Filipino Heritage Month for my students đź’›
It’s a literacy activity that helps kids connect with Cora’s emotions, family traditions, and growing confidence in the story Cora Cooks Pancit by Dorina K. Lazo Gilmore.
Inside, you’ll find guided prompts and “stop & talk” questions that encourage students to think about how characters feel, what they learn, and how family and culture shape who we are.
What’s included:
✨ 6 story “Stop & Talk” pages with open-ended and specific questions
✨ Vocabulary + feelings words for each section
✨ Scripted teacher/clinician language to support discussion
✨ Theme: building independence, confidence, and connection
Perfect for:
đź“š Read-alouds, SEL lessons, small groups, or literacy-based therapy sessions
This resource pairs with the picture book Cora Cooks Pancit (book not included).
