Nemo is a Clownfish who lives with his father Marlin in the ocean. It’s Nemos first day of school and his dad is nervous about letting him go. Nemo’s dad tells his teacher that he is not a good swimmer so he needs take extra precautions with Nemo when they are swimming. Nemo becomes embarrassed so he tries to prove a point to his dad and classmates by swimming all the way out to a boat. As Nemo is swimming a scuba diver catches him in a bag to take him home. Marlin begins to chase the boat in hopes of saving his son. As he is swimming he runs into a fish named Dory. Dory is a nice blue fish who wants to help but she has a bit of a memory problem; so she sometimes gets off task which causes problems along the way. At one point throughout the search Marlin and Dory come across a snorkeling mask with an address on it. Marlin is sold that the address is where Nemo is; so they must get their quickly to save Nemo. Meanwhile, Nemo is being held in a fish tank at a dentist office until the end of the week when Darla (the doctors niece) has her birthday. This is terrifying for Nemo because the other fish in the tank have told him what happens to all of Darla’s fish- they die. Nemo gets scared because his father is not there to help him so he knows he must take actions in to his own hands if he wants to live. So, can the other fish in the tank help Nemo escape before Darla’s birthday? Does Nemo ever meet back up with his father? Read to find out.
After reading this book to the class, I would have them imagine they were Marlin and they were looking for their son Nemo. In order to find their son they needed to make a very detailed billboard with a picture and five adjetives and five nouns. After we they were done each student would share with the class and we would see how they described Nemo.
