I am using the mini-lessons for a guided reading unit where kids are all reading different sci-fi books. A good way to start class and draw connections from each of their books to the elements of science fiction.
I have over 25 years as a special educator and classroom instructor with experience working with from pre school students to high school. I am currently teaching fifth grade.
