The Plan:
Book Introduction: (Indicate M, S, V beside each step)
Before handing out the books: hold up the picture and give the children the title, author
and illustrator. Ask the children questions about the cover to get them thinking.
o M-By looking at the cover and the title, what do you think this book will be
about? (monsters throwing a birthday party; monsters at a party; monsters who
love to eat).
o M-By the picture what kind of party is it going to be? (birthday; pizza;
Christmas; Halloween; costume).
Give the children their books but ask them not to open them yet. Turn to page six.
Does the picture and the text help you find out what kind of party it is? (Christmas or
birthday because of presents).
V-Lets do a word walk and see if there are any new words to learn in this book. Turn to
page 3 first. We have pizzas and cupcakes. Cupcakes can be divided into two words cup
and cakes. Page 4 has the word balloons. Page 6 has the word presents. Can you find it
on the page? (student points to it). Turn to page 8. Look at the last word on the page.
Can you sound it out? Lets break it up into each sound. /u/ /m/ /br/ /e/ /ll/ /a/. /um/
/br/ /ell/ /a/. Put sounds together, /um/ /brella/. (student runs finger under each word
sounding them each out correctly)
Text Reading: (Indicate what the student will be doing and what the teacher will be doing)
Today we are reading Monster Party by Lisa Trumbauer. It is a short story about a party
held by monsters. Lets read to see what will happen. You each have your own book and
I want you both to read to yourself silently. This means to whisper. If you need help feel
free to ask but I want you to try your best to read it by yourself. Whyll you are reading I
will be taking notes.
Group Discussion of the Text: (Comprehension questions and expected answers in parenthesis)
I am going to ask you some questions about the story. I dont want you to look these
up, I want to see what you remember, ok.
o Can you tell me what happened in the book? (monsters had a party with food).
o What different kinds of foods were braught to the party? (pizza and cupcakes).
o What else was brought to the party? (hats and presents and an umbrella)
o Why did the party end? (it rained)
Go ahead and flip through the pictures. How many monsters arrive at the party? (6
monsters)
Teaching Point:
Phoneme addition and deletion.
o Go through the book. Talk with the students about how some words like balloon
has an S at the end but Umbrella doesnt. Ask the students why they think that
is. (its just how it is; the S makes it more than one. The S means it is plural.)
o So if we take the S off balloons, what does that mean? (there would only be
one balloon)
o if we add an S to umbrella, what would that mean? (there would be more than
one umbrella)
o use the marker board to practice it with other words that arent in the story.
SHARED READING:
Objective/Evaluation/Common Core Standard:
TSW fill in blanks of a poem to make it their own and write 4/6 of the new words themselves on
their individual worksheets.
Strand: Writing
Box Sub Heading: ?
Materials:
I Have A Little Frog poem
Text strips pre-written and blank
Typed out poem with blanks ( 2 copies)[Century Gothic]
The Plan:
Anticipatory Set:
Last week me and L**** read through a poem called I have a Little Frog. Today we are going to
continue using it to do a lesson I like to call text innovation. Its a large word for an activity that I
think is quite fun. Lest read through the poem once together first. (using my finger, read
through the poem slowing as a group and one to one correspondence. Then have the other
child read through it by herself.)
Instruction:
Teaching the Lesson:
Pull out the large version of the poem and show how you have replaced the specified words.
Read through the poem with your new words you came up with. See how they make sense yet
are unique.
Closure
Come together as a small group and have the students share what came up with. Have each
student read the whole poem with their new words in them.
Assessment/Evaluation:
Did each student hand write at least 4/6 of their ideas in the blanks on their worksheet?
LESSON OF YOUR CHOICE: Reading with inotation and prosody
Objective/Evaluation/Common Core Standard:
TSW learn that quotation marks mean a person is talking and that everyone talks and sounds
different. Also a student will come to understand how to make a phrase into a question and
speak with excitement when using exclamation points.
Materials:
The Remarkable Friendship of Mr. Cat and Mr. Rat
Marker Boards
Markers
The Plan:
Anticipatory Set:
Me and Logan have already read this book before but we are going to read it once through
one more time before we start our lesson. Bella, what is the title of this book?(The
Remarkable Friendship of Mr. Cat and Mr. Rat).
Instruction:
Teaching the Lesson:
The two lines in the air are quotation marks. These surround words that a character is
speaking. So, when you read what is in the quotation marks you can read them like you
are the character talking
Give an example by reading a passage.
If you see the exclamation point at the end of a spoken sentence, what does that mean?
Point to an exclamation point so they can see. (they are excited; they are yelling; they
are mad). Yes it can mean any of those. You can tell by looking at what the character is
saying. Read another passage that has an exclamation point.
How about this mark. This is a question mark. What do you think that means? How
does it change how the person is talking? (the person will be asking a question).
Correct! Can we read it as a question? Read through a passage that holds a question
in quotations.
Assessment/Evaluation:
Do the children now more understand the concept of talking with annotation?
