Unit 1: Readers, Engage!
Dates of Unit: August 24th - September 4th, 2020
What are the big ideas or concepts that students absolutely need to get out of this unit?
Students will discern whether or not they would be interested in reading a particular book. They will identify what activates their interest, preview the first chapter of a book, make predictions about the plot, write a short blurb about what the general idea of the book seems to be, and discuss the book with peers.
Students will learn the protocols for discussion and practice them as this classroom will be driven by different “response to text” techniques.
Students will complete the beginning of the year reading and spelling screeners to set a baseline for their knowledge.
Students will set learning goals for the 1st nine weeks and an ultimate goal for year end.
Students will need to document the amount of pages they read per week to track their progress as independent readers.
Students will journal about the content they read to help aid in comprehension, stamina, and retention of the text.
