The students will be learning with a new strategy Reading for Meaning. I will read the book Tops and

discussion. The students will get a better understanding of why we read when it comes to going into
depth with reading rather than just reading for fun.

Lesson Timeline
Prerequisite Skills
Students will need to know what responsibility is and what it feels like to be responsible. They will also need to know how to make
predictions before they read and use supportive evidence to answer questions.
Instructional Procedures
I will start by explaining what we are going to learn about. I will tell my students that this material may be
known to some, so that they may not blurt out the answers to protect their learning time, and give other
students the chance to learn. We will start by working on a worksheet that has the students Think of a
Time. This will help the students relate to their own life to connect better with the story. We will then
observe the front and back cover of the book to make predictions of what the story may be about. I will
then have the students do a writing exercise with key terms to make predictions.
During my Reading for Meaning lesson, I will start to read the book. I will pause and ask questions for
discussion. This will help the students get a better understanding of the story while we are reading it. The
students can ask questions and answer to their best ability what they think they know the answer they
can raise their hand.
I will end my lesson by telling the students that we are going to be reading more Trickster stories. I will
pass out a chart that will be completed over a long period of time. For homework I will have the students
just work on the first Colum and answer the questions.
Accommodations for Differentiated Instruction
The students with special needs will have an opportunity to work with a
Para-pro during the lesson if they have any questions during the lesson.
They will also complete their homework with the help of a Para-pro and if
Special Needs Student
not finished have extended work time.
Gifted/ Talented students will learn the same material as the rest of the
students, but will be given a different homework assignment that gives
Gifted/Talented Student them the chance to expand their knowledge. The finished work will be
returned and graded in the same way as the rest of the students.
