Reading Lesson Plan # 1

Reading Lesson Plan # 1 Rationale (What evidence do you have that your focus students need to learn this skill/strategy?): Directed Reading Assessment (DRA) comprehension scores Objective for this lesson (performance, condition, criteria): Students will be able to locate details and apply strategies, to communicate them. Materials & supplies needed: Worksheets & Stories from Comprehension We Use Book C page 18, 23, 24, 27

Procedures and approximate time allocated for each event  • Introduction to the lesson  (7 minutes)  “Today, we will be looking for details when we read.  This sheet of paper (page 18) gives us a plan to follow so we can locate these details easily.  {Name of student}, will you read the first paragraph for us?" "{Name of student}, will you read the four steps." “Do you use these steps when you read and have questions to answer? Do you think this plan will help us locate the details we need? Why are these detail important to help you understand a book?” • OUTLINE of key events during the lesson) (18 minutes) -I will review protocol:  When we read, we read together-even if one student is reading out loud, others are reading silently.  There are no bad ideas or thoughts, we accept and respect everyones ideas and thoughts. -We will read the whole story first, pausing after each paragraph.  During these pauses we will discuss what was just read and make a short note on the margin of our paper to remind us later of what we read in that paragraph.   -After the initial reading, we will follow the plan for locating details:  We will read the question Read each sentence to look for an answer Our notes in the margin will help us locate the sentences quickly Finish reading before selecting an answer Select the detail to answer the question -Once we select an answer, we will record them on the worksheets. • Closing summary for the lesson (5 minutes) -"Was it helpful or easier to find the answers when we wrote notes on the side?" -"Will you continue to use these steps when you read on your own?  Why or Why not?" -"It is easier for me know remember what I read and learned when I take short notes.  I use these steps when I read for school too, because you want to be able to recall some details.  If I invited you to a party, wouldn't you need to know where and when it is going to be?  That is why details are so important!" -"Great job today!  I now know that if I need someone to remember details for me, I'm coming to you!" :] Ongoing-Assessment: Students are continuously reading and being assessed.  By taking margin notes and following the plan to locate details, students will be able to find details more readily which will also allow students to review, assess and understand the text they are reading.

Adaptations: Based on what you know about your focus students, what Academic, Social and/or Linguistic Support will be needed during the lesson? We will read as a group to pace one another and so students are reading and continuously engaged.  We will also have a 2:1 student to teacher ratio, so asking and providing help and guidance will be easier.
