Below is a list of my reactions to everyone's first lesson plan presentations!
Sarah: I loved the books that you found called Jabari Jumps! The small moment graphic organizing worksheets will definitely help them finding out what idea they would like to take further. I am sure students' will really enjoy it!
Abby: The process that you are planning to take seems fantastic! Starting out with the bubble map will definitely help them to tap into prior knowledge. Also, I love that there are so many different lessons the books can take. I believe it is important to integrate social emotional learning whenever possible.
Tiffany: I loved your use of the writing journals as well as prompts that you gave to them. By using prompts like this you will generally receive a better response with student's participation and excitement for the lesson. I think your Unit is off to a great start!
Lynna: The dust bunny activity is so cute! I loved you idea have working with them on rhyming. As we discussed in class, nursery rhymes are such a great way to accomplish it! I am sure you student would absolutely love it!
Anna: Your idea of going over the five senses to help descriptive writing sounds great! By doing this, they will have a deeper understanding of all of the details that they can include to be descriptive in their writing. Lastly, the students will love the nature walk and it will hopefully increase engagement! Good job!
Sally: It's so funny that we both decided to use the book I Wanna Iguana for our lessons! Truthfully I am not all that surprised since we are both creating a unit of persuasive letters and the book it almost perfect! I am sure that the student will get a lot of help from the notecards. Your plan sounds like it will be great!
Thank you everyone for sharing all of the great books to use in the future. You unit plans seem fantastic!

ReplyDeleteThank you! I loved getting to see how a few others would create a lesson that supported persuasive writing, including you. It gives me a lot of thinking when moving forward. I love being given the opportunity to learn from each other and create great lesson plans that we will use moving forward. Your lesson plan had so much great pieces as well. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAshten, I loved your book and like you said there are probably a lot of kids that have no idea people use to write letters and the was only way of communication with people that were far away. How much the world has changed! You will be an absolute fabulous teacher!
