Instructional Lesson Methods and Assessment

Anticipatory Set

1.    I will ask the class to think about the classroom rules they learned on the first day of school and have them share to activate background knowledge.

2.    We will then watch the video The Rules of the Classroom. The first time we will just watch the video and we will then watch it again and act out the motions and sing with the song.

 
3.    Students will then break into partners and create a new rule that they think should be added to the list. The groups will read their new rule to the class.

4.    I will call the number of the reading group that I will meet with for the day. I will inform the rest of the students that they need to be quietly working at their assigned centers

Introduce and Model New Knowledge 

1.    I will then have the students join me at the back table. Before the reading, I will have the vocabulary term “tardy” written on Chart Paper. I will give the definition of the word and use it in a sentence other than the one used in the book. Then, I will read the word in the context it is used in the book.

2.    I will inform the student that while we are reading, we will be looking at the main character, David’s, physical appearance, actions, and feelings.

3.    I will refer back to the character trait chart and discuss what different traits could be shown in the book. I will identify David’s physical appearance, actions, and feelings.

Guided Practice



1.    We will read the David Goes to School as a group. I will read out loud and the students will follow along pointing to each word.

2.    We will stop on pages that someone identifies a physical trait, action, or feeling from David.

3.    I will ask the students, “What can we observe from David’s physical appearance in the illustrations?” “What do the descriptive words tell us about David’s feelings?” “What actions is David doing in the illustration?” The students can respond by writing their responses on a white board and holding it up or writing the answer on a sticky note and putting it on the board. I will give the students both nonverbal cue and direct feedback based on their answers. I will make statements such as, "Try again" or "Let's think about this", if the student needs to reevaluate their response. If the student meets my expectations, I will give them a nod or say, "Great job" or "I like the way you think."

Independent Practice 

1.    After we finish the story, I will have the students refer back to three different illustrations in the book and think about the feelings and actions that were related to it.

2.    The students will return to their desk and we will have a 5 minute brain break.

3.    The students will turn to that page in their book a record their findings on a T Chart in their writing journal. The left side of the T Chart will have the words: physical appearance, actions, and feelings. The right side will be the evidence the student found in the story to describe the details.
