Materials:
Big Book The Little Yellow Chickens House by Joy Cowley Assessments: Pre- Fictional Text Story Organizer (completed individually during seatwork Mon. March 24th) During- anecdotal notes and assessment during story and turn-and talks to assess student learning during the Day 2 shared reading lesson. Post- Day 3 and 4 shared reading seat work assignments, Friday Readers Theater performances, and written reflection on TLYCH Lesson Assessment Checklist Blank Smart Board Notebook to create Venn diagram comparing/contrasting characters from TLYCH
Procedures:
1. After reviewing morning work, spelling and word work, and any other daily chores, begin the Shared Reading lesson for Tuesday (Day 2) The Little Yellow Chickens House. 2. Review motions from Day 1 for too hot, go away, and come again another day. Ask students to mak e sure they have a turn-and-talk partner, and be ready to learn and listen. 3. Read TLYCH. Encourage students to perform motions when they appear in the texts. Turn and Talk: What do you think LYCs grandmother, LRH, would say about his friends? What would your grandmother/mother say? Do you agree with LYCs decision to not let his friends in the house? Why or why not? 4. After the lesson, draw a Venn diagram on a blank Smart Board notebook. Open discussion for students to share ways the characters and their experiences are different, and ways they are the same? What do they both need? Are they the same in any way? How are they different? Students will complete Day 2 shared reading seatwork individually, and turn it in with other daily assignments. Students participation during the lesson and completed work will be used to determine student learning.
Activity Analysis:
Independent seatwork: Independent work completed after the shared reading lesson each day is an activity used to assess the overall student learning. The story organizers allow students to express their opinion, beliefs and reflection of the text after each days lesson. The students completed work will show their individual understanding of TLYCH after the shared reading. Smart Board Venn diagram: The interactive whole group completion of the Venn diagram allows us to talk collaboratively about the similarities and differences of the characters, their experiences and adventures. It models the way to construct a graphic organizer to brainstorm ideas before writing. Students will then turn this class Venn diagram into writing on the RL 1.9 Sharing Experiences Activity that they will complete during independent seatwork after the lesson (Artifacts #4, 5, and 6).
