Week 3 Lessons

*Each classroom has modifications made to accommodate those students, for every lesson. Modifications in some classrooms are to make the assignment more rigorous and challenging while other modifications will include reading material to students, alternative assignments, individualized help, shortened assignments, defining vocabulary with students on the board, section questions are discussed NOT assigned, test material is read to the class, and using notesand/or textbook for both formative and summative test.

Standard
Narrative Elements
Learning Target- I can identify and use narrative elements correctly.

Monday- “My Name is Maria Isabel”
Harcourt Trophies Reading Book
*Vocabulary Power-Read and discuss the vocabulary words with the students. Have students use their phonic skills to decode words and pronounce them. Then I will say the words and have the students repeat the words with me. Students will use the glossary to write a definition for each word. Then the student must come up with a synonym for each word.
*Read the Vocabulary Power passage then ask students to use the text to figure out what they think each vocabulary word means.
* I will have students to read their definition to me, then I will write each on the smart board.
*When finished students begin independently reading the story

Tuesday-“My Name is Maria Isabel”
Harcourt Trophies Reading Book
*The students will listen to the story from the audio cd.
*I will read the story to the students and stop at specific places in the story to discuss large words that they may not recognize or understand, important literary elements, devices, details, or teachable moments. Throughout the story I will also use several questioning strategies to check for understanding and comprehensionfrom the students.

Thursday- “My Name is Maria Isabel”

* We will use the promethean planet flipchart for the story.
