This bundle provides you with five days of reading lessons around RL 1.3 and RL 2.3. The first four days include slide presentations that you may use for your minilessons on RL 1.3 and RL 2.3. The fifth day is included as a bonus for purchasing this bundle, and is an assessment. The assessment is a perfect test of what your students have learned during the week.

For your convenience you may access the slide presentations through either Google Slides or PowerPoint. The order the slide presentations that I recommend is as follows:

Day 1 - Identifying the Main Character in a Story

Day 2 - Identifying Major Events in a Story

Day 3 - Identifying Character Traits

Day 4 - How Characters Respond to Major Events

Each day uses a story to illustrate the days' reading strategy. The stories included in the presentations include:

The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg

The Elves and the Shoemaker

Little Red Riding Hood

The Elves and the Shoemaker is Revisited

The Day 5 bonus of this bundle is the assessment.

This bundle also includes an exit slip for the first four lessons, which you can use to assess your students' understanding of the reading skill taught each day. Your students may use any book they are reading (or text which you are using) to answer the questions on the exit ticket.

Finally, there is an assessment included which can be given on Day 5 to assess your students' understanding of this common core standard. Each PowerPoint includes a text which students can use to practice the reading skill that is being taught. This is a comprehensive bundle which will meet all of your needs for RL 1.3 & 2.3 "Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges"
This bundle has been updated for distance learning. All of the slides, exit slips, and the bonus assessment can be accessed via Google Slides. ***This product is contained in a ZIP file. Please do not purchase this product if you do not have the capability to open this type of file.***
