Notebook: Vocabulary Lesson
This vocabulary lesson would work for grades K-2. The lesson would revolve around the letters in the alphabet and words from the text that match up with those letters.
Have the students find a word in the text that starts with five different letters of the alphabet.
Each student can pick their own five letters. Or assign one letter to each student so that each letter of the alphabet is covered.
Have the students either find, look up, ask a friend, ask the teacher, or just know what the word means.
Then make a class list.
For higher grades, you could decide what type of word each student came up with. For example, a noun, a verb, an adjective, etc.

I like your mini lesson and I think it could be effective. I think that lettign students choose the word they use gets them involved in their learnign and makes it personal. This will help students be more engaged when you did this lesson. The only thing problematic that I see is that students might all look at the first few pages of the book and all come up with the same type of words. To avoide this you may assign every student to come up with their own word for letters that are more common, or to assign certain students certain page numbers. Overall though, I think that it would be a very effective volcabulary mini lesson.
