For this assignment, you are going to use the activity description I have provided to develop a lesson plan in the modified GSW version watch video link for more detailed instructions https://app.screencastify.com/v3/watch/EClO2My5cCazE1YARMnQ
In the activity description I have provided, you will find these sections of the lesson plan: instruction, guided practice, independent practice, and assessment. You can pull these parts out of the description and place them in the correct section of the lesson plan. In order to complete the lesson, you will need to locate the appropriate 3rd grade reading standard from the standards website, develop a student learning objective/goal for the activity, and create a launch and closure. You will also have to fill out the differentiation and theoretical principles section based on the activity I provided.
PROVIDED Activity Description:
Compare and contrast two characters in fiction:
I will reread the first half of Burnt Toast on Davenport Street by Tim Egan (previously read in the Character unit). I will compare and contrast Arthur and Stella and model my thinking as I identify similarities and differences between the two characters. For example, the text tells us that Arthur and Stella were both happy dogs, so I know that is a similarity they have. I know that Arthur always burns the toast, but the story only says that Stella was used to it. It does not mention that she burns the toast too, so I know that is a difference between Arthur and Stella. Ask: How did I compare and contrast Arthur and Stella? Students should respond that you read the text and identified examples of how Arthur and Stella were different and how they were the same. We will finish reading Burnt Toast on Davenport Street and charting the similarities and differences between Arthur and Stella. We will draw conclusions about similarities and differences that Arthur and Stella have in their personalities. For example, Arthur gets furious at the crocodiles, and he doesn’t believe the fly and is rude to him at first. Stella tries to convince Arthur to ignore the crocodiles and tries to appreciate the tropical island as an adventure instead of getting mad at the fly. Therefore, we can draw the conclusion that Arthur has a short temper and Stella is more patient. Students will choose a book that has at least two characters. Students will compare and contrast two characters by listing similarities and differences between the two characters.
