1. Instructional Procedures

a. Set:(What will you do to introduce the content of the lesson?

Have two students come up and dance to a song that is playing. Ask students to describe the traits of their dance. For example: How does Jimmy dance? How does Sarah dance? How are they different? Describe the way they dance.

b. Body: Use the Gradual Release Model to describe how you will teach your lesson. Be specific in each section below. Demonstrate STRATEGIES. Use this section as your “script” for your lesson.

1. Modeled Instruction / Demonstrate: “I do it – you watch” I will read Chapter 1 of the book. I will choose specific words to describe Jack and Annie. For example: curious, outgoing, shy, younger, older, wise…

ii. Shared Instruction / Guide: “We do it – together” We will continue reading Chapter 2 of the book as a class. As a class, all students will get a chance to come up to the board and write words that describe the characters.

iii. Guided Practice / Collaborative Learning: “You do it together – I watch / guide” Students will open their reading notebook and draw Annie on one page and Jack on the other page, they will fill the page of the character with words that describe them. They will do this in groups.

iv. Independent Practice / Independent Learning: “You do it alone” I will hand out a worksheet with a Venn diagram. Students will need to describe the characters differences and similarities.

c. Closure: (How will you summarize the content of the lesson?) To summarize we will keep reading the next chapter and continue noticing the difference and similarities in character traits.

1. Assessment: (How will you assess that the students met your objective? The assessment must connect to the objective and the standard) I will get students to come to the small group center and have them discuss/ retell the differences and similarities of the characters.

1. Home Learning: (optional, would your students benefit from revisiting some element of your lesson at home?)

1. References: (Include any links to book readings, websites, citations of storybooks/textbooks, etc. here)
