Content Goals:
Students will know...
• What it means to be an agent of change within their community. How to have a discussion and exchange ideas in a non threatening way.
• The SWBS (somebody, wanted, but, so) strategy to summarize a reading.
• How to make vocabulary a part of the reading experience through the use of context clues.
• The difference between reading words, decoding, and reading fluently with expression.
Reflection:
Reflection notes will be added as the lesson is delivered.
Student absence is a problem when beginning the lesson or if they miss a part of the lesson.
How can I reteach anticipation and prior knowledge when students are absent during those activities?
Use enrichment activities that will engage students and connect to student lives and cultures.
The Seedfolks book is written from the point of view of each character in the book. The varied characters represent people from various cultures that my students may connect with. These various groups include; Hatian, Korean, India, Romania, Guatemalan, Black, White, Jewish, Homeless, Mexican, Puerto Rican, British, and Vietnamese.
