The learners will be taught new vocabulary words, comprehension skills, and writing skills. The class will be structured so that the learner must have read the chapters prior to the class to aid in discussion and activity completion. Each session will have a brief "hook" to start the lesson, direct instruction of the focus skills, book discussion and/or activity that relates to the focus skills, and a exit ticket. Students Week 1: Chapters 1- 2; Skills: Character Traits, Visualization, Cause/Effect Week 2: Chapters 3-4; Skills: Context Clues, Summarizing Week 3: Chapters 5-6; Skills: Prediction vs. Inference Week 4: Chapters 7-8; Skills: Compare & Contrast, Summarizing Week 5: Culminating Fun Activity My teaching style is to do discussion and hands-on activities that connect back to real life or have an STEM element. Learners will interact with each other through sharing and dialogue. There is no prior experience needed for this course. Learners can read the text on their own or have it read to them. Writing will be infused in the course during the summarization weeks with outside assignments.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their comprehension skills and specifically identifying character traits, cause/effect, context clues, summarization, prediction vs. inference and compare/contrast. Also, writing skills will be utilized.
