2nd+Grade+Active+Reading

** Unit: ** Lesson Plan for Active Reading Stategy- Response To Literature **Grade:** 1-2 (Can be adjusted for all grades) **Teacher Name:** Hillary Bentley- Hayes Center Public Schools **Standards:** LA 2.1.5.b. Relate new grade level vocabulary to prior knowledge and use in new situations. LA 2.2.1.a. Use prewriting activities and inquiry tools to generate ideas (e.g. brainstorm, map, free write, graphic organizer). **Content Lesson:** Each student will give 5-8 words from the story depending on the text that is read (for example dog, horse, pig, cow, barn, etc.). The students will write their five words on five different sticky notes. Will go around the room and teacher will write all responses on the board. ** The teacher will then put categories around the room where students can place their sticky notes into the correct category. The categories are animals, buildings, and people (have the categories already placed in the room). ** ** After all students have placed their sticky notes in the various categories, as a class we will discuss every response in each category. We will also discuss that items can be placed in multiple categories (If I do not see any items that are in more than one category I will make sure to add my own sticky note response). Also if a category does not have any responses then add a few responses. ** To work on vocabulary do a Power Flower for a few words as a class. For example the word “dog” could also be puppy, canine, hound, mutt, doggy, etc. **Closure:** Ticket Out The Door: Students will write three sentences using 3-4 of the words. Students have to pick words from different categories. After all students are done writing their sentences on a notecard have them hand them in and then discuss their sentences for 2-3 minutes. Other: Use one word in a sentence in the lunch line while speaking to the cooks. **Materials:** Marker board/Chart paperSticky Notes Laminated category sheets <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 19px;">Sheets of paper to do Power Flower <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 19px;">Notecards <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">** Duration: ** 2 to 4 days
