This novel unit is SO MUCH MORE than comprehension questions and vocabulary practice! It's interactive, collaborative, hands-on, and...FUN!
I've taken the guess-work out of how to deliver a rigorous novel unit and have crafted a series of done-for-you lessons that intentionally map out crucial reading skills that support each chapter in a natural and meaningful way.
HOW IT WORKS:
Each lesson has 3 components to help you structure your instruction effortlessly.
- Introduction - During this portion of the lesson you'll introduce important reading skills and strategies that students will be working on that day. You'll cover important vocabulary as well as check for comprehension from previous reading.
- Lesson Activity - In this section students will read and engage with the text using a variety of activities and instructional formats. Students keep all their learning in one place using the student activity packet. Here they complete activities, journal their thoughts about their reading, and check for comprehension. Each lesson is unique and will keep things interesting for students! By the end of the unit, students will have learned several new reading skills that they practiced inside the text.
- Lesson Reflection - Bring students back together at the end of the lesson to review, share, and discuss what they have read.
