(Project)

Time: 3:00 pm-4:00 pm

Instructional Goal: The student will

work on organizing thoughts and seeing

character development through the read

aloud of the Langston Hughes story. The

student will also work on reading andrecording important information from

his book that could potentially be added

to his project. Lastly, the student will

increase his familiarity with the use of

technology.

Evidence of Instructional Goal: The

student will learn to organize thoughts

and see character development in the

story through the use of Semantic

Differential Scales. The student will alsopractice correct writing when he records

information from his book to add to his

project. The fluency practice will always

be evident when he is reading aloud to

me. Lastly, the evidence of the

technology use will be seen through his

project on Word.

Text(s) used in the lesson: Thank You Maam by Langston Hughes, Pythons by

Lucia Rhaatma

Approximate level of text: 3rdgrade and up

Tool Selection: The computer will be used for a large portion of this class. It will be

used to look up some information online and to create the brochure on Microsoft

Word. The actual story by Langston Hughes will be crucial to a better understanding

of how to do the scales activity as well. Lastly, the non-fiction book the student is

reading will give him key information to record for his project.

Description of Instruction (should almost always include reading and writing):

- We will start this lesson by doing something a little different. We will warmup by doing a read aloud of the story Thank You Maam by Langston Hughes.

During this time the student will listen to me read aloud. After that, I will

have created some Semantic Differential Scales for the student to go through

with me. Through this, the student can express to me how well he

understood the story. This will be an activity that is different than we usually

do but it will help the student organize his thought as well as visually see the

character development through the story. After this, the student will begin to

read to me. This will be his book about snakes. He will work on his reading

and we will stop periodically to take important notes that could be used for

his project. After this is finished we will begin to use the computer to work

on his project through Microsoft Word. Here he can continue to work on

typing and becoming familiar with using these programs.
