Following Lucy Calkin's Reading Workshop model, these lesson plans cover the standards for Grade 5 Character Study Unit over a six week period. They include clear objectives (to meet the standards), daily mini-lessons, sample charts you can adapt to your population, differentiation suggestions, and specific examples from our class read aloud, Jerry Spinelli's Maniac Magee. They're easy to read, easy to implement, and you can also adjust them to your needs! Work smarter, not harder!
