unit 5 writing

 Apply skills and strategies presented in this lesson to develop a plan for teaching from “Little Things are Big” (reading/interest level 4-6). Your plan must involve a minimum of 4 reading comprehension strategies that are different from the ones used in Writing Assignment #1. Available at

https://www.commonlit.org/en/texts/little-things-are-bigLinks to an external site.

 

his assignment does NOT require a formal lesson plan (although you are welcome to submit one if you desire).

 

It IS asking you to select 4 of the comprehension strategies discussed in the lectures or that you’ve identified through your own readings and describe exactly how you will use this text to explicitly instruct students on how to use that strategy to improve reading comprehension (the focus of the lesson is the strategy, not the text).  A more than a simple listing or description of activities that use the strategy is required.  I’m looking for your method to actively engage the students in using the comprehension strategies (“the teacher will” focus, not “the student will”).
