|Objectives: |

|Given a fill in the blank worksheet with a word bank, students will fill in the blanks to complete reading comprehensions sentences|

|on chapter two of The Hobbit by themselves with 80% accuracy. |

|Materials and Resources: |

|An overhead projector, copies of the The Hobbit, one transparency worksheet for chapter one, copies for the fill in the blank |

|worksheet for chapter one and two, and pencils |

|Anticipatory Set: |

|Ask students if they read chapters one and two last night and ask them if they think they'll enjoy the book from what they read. |

|Teaching: |

|Input On the projector, project the transparency of the worksheet for chapter one and complete it as a class while including |

|models, guided practice, and independent practice. The students will complete their copies for chapter one as you do. |

|Modeling Read aloud the first fill in the blank sentence and do a think-aloud (let students know that sentences appear in |

|sequential order throughout the chapter) to show the students how to select the appropriate word from the word bank. |

|Guided Practice: |

|For the second fill in the blank, have a student volunteer to read aloud the sentence. |

|Then, ask students what would make sense as a proper fill in the blank, and have them justify their answer with information from |

|chapter one. |

|Repeat this again for the next two sentences. |

|For the rest of the assignment on chapter one, have the students finish the assignment as you walk around the room to check |

|students' work for understanding. |

|Independent Practice: Assign the chapter two worksheet for students to complete in the remainder of the class and as homework. |

|Closure: Tell students that doing the worksheet for each chapter helps them understand the chapters and will later benefit them |

|because they will have notes for later studying. |
