Hook: Students will be asked about aliens and their interest in them.
Do you like aliens?
Do you believe in them?
Are we alone in the universe?
Do you think that area 51 is real?
Guided practice: As a class we will come up with some descriptive words to describe
the grey sky and how our day was and. Students will then be shown the alien picture. Together
we will come up with some words to describe it that I will write on the board.
Independent practice: Students will be given time to come up with their own story that
relates to the alien in the picture.
Check(s) for understanding and scaffolding of student learning: I will ask students to
underline their descriptive words and check them throughout their writing time. Before
independent writing begins I will share my story of the alien in the picture and highlight my
descriptive words. I will highlight poor word choices and ask the students if there is anything
wrong with them.
Assessment of/for learning: Students writing probes will be assessed using a districtapproved rubric.
Closure of the lesson: I will relate lesson back to organization (what they learned in their
last writing lesson) and how the two work together as tools to help students enhance their
writing.
Bridge to next lesson: In two weeks students will learn about ideas in the 6 Traits of a
Well-Written Paper model.
*Learning Target on board:
-I can write a well-organized paper with proper word choice.
