Description
Class Experience
To deepen learners' understanding of reading comprehension and how it can be applied to engage with stories. To introduce learners to Bloom's Taxonomy and how it can be used as a framework for understanding different levels of learning and engagement. To provide opportunities for learners to practice reading comprehension skills such as predicting, visualizing, summarizing, asking questions, and making connections. To foster creativity and imagination in learners by allowing them to engage with a story and create their own responses to it. To encourage learners to reflect on their learning and share their ideas with the class. Overall, the lesson plan aims to engage students with literature and develop their reading comprehension skills, while also promoting creativity and critical thinking.
The learners will need to read each book they choose and complete the activities listed in the class experience. The activities include a bingo reading challenge board, reading comprehension, and create a project using atleast one book they read. The number of pages they will read depends on their goals they set, the book they choose, their reading level, etc.
A book appropriate for the grade level and reading level of the students PDF pages supplied by the teacher in the classroom printer to print off the bingo board and the reading comprehension question Paper and pencils/pens Optional: art supplies (markers, crayons, etc.) if learners choose to create a drawing or comic strip

No live meetings, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Please make sure the books the learner's choose are age appropriate. If you are not sure if the book is appropriate please consult https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ or feel free to message me. If the book is not age appropriate (meaning for 8-12 year olds) as suggested through the common sense media website then the learner will be asked to read a different book. Some of the books contain violent or scary scenes, cases of bullying, and some bad language might be used. Please check the content of the book chosen on the common sense media site or good reads site. This class will use Google Jamboard, YouTube and Nearpod. The link will be given for Google Jamboard and Nearpod in the classroom and no accounts are needed. My lesson videos are hosted on YouTube and will be embedded links in the Outschool classroom.
