This lesson, using "My Name" by Sandra Cisneros, was really successful with both teachers and students last year. Since the text is so short, it's possible to model both a read aloud AND a close reading lesson in one.

This was one of my most favorite demo labs of the year! I was SO impressed with what these G11 students were able to do in the lesson AND apply to their Lang&Lit writing. This lesson highlights all aspects of the Jeff Anderson's Patterns of Power framework and is based on a lesson for his G9-12 book.

Connect:

How was your day. Good. Expand! There are big things happening at school! Big new ideas and all I get is good. I want more!

You’ve been looking at lots of different historical fiction texts. This is a deep genre. You need to build understandings about setting, big issues, and also the story and characters.

TP:

One great way to communicate new big ideas, build on them, and check in for correct understanding is to write about reading using the magical connectors of because, but, so.

Teach:

You’ve been reading the book A Long walk to water by Linda Sue Park. I’m interested to hear what ideas you’ve been developing about this book. It’s heavy right? These two young children that we get to follow to learn about South Sudan, issues with clean water, and a little about the human spirit.

Salva doesn’t give up after his struggles.

Not all people have access to sanitary water.

Link:

Today when you go off to read in your books, try to notice a theme, issue, or idea for that text. Do a little writing about reading and grow a sentence kernel with a connector.

Close:

Share a volunteer out, or a misconception. You can use this strategy everywhere from now on. After read alouds, after independent reading, at the dinner table…

Primary goal was for pre-writers to plan with counting the number of words they want to put on each page, and drawing lines for where those words will go. For EAL students, they counted the number of sounds in one word and wrote lines for those graphemes.

This lesson also modeled Seravallo's compliment conferences to build confidence for writers and gather quick class data, and how to get going with a grapheme tool for writing.

(Prepare: Three large story pages, stapled books for students to write, alphabet charts)

Spill markers OR remember shared experience to teach ms. Erika

Put up three pages with picture boxes and lines

Plan the story with words first, next, finally

Remember page 1, show how to count out the words, write the lines for the words, write the words

Remember page 2, turn and talk to show a buddy how to count out those words, show me the fingers for the lines, write the words

Repeat with last page.

Ask students what they might want to write today. Send students off to write their own stories (have paper copied into small books)

During writing

Compliment conferences (Seravallo)

Count words, model how to use grapheme tool

After writing

Sort writing

Coaching

Teachers take small groups to edit the teacher’s writing by adding more letters to the words. Prep: make teacher page
