Lesson Plan: Set 1

Lesson Plan (1): Interactive Read Aloud

Common Core State Standards: CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.5.1 Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 5 topics and texts, building on others’ ideas and expressing their own clearly.

Objective: Students will listen as the teacher reads aloud, stopping to make connections and predictions.

Materials: Owl Moon by Jane Yolen

Lesson Sequence:

• Before Reading:

o “Boys and girls, today I am going to be reading a book aloud titled Owl Moon. This book was written by one of my favorite authors, Jane Yolen.”

o “Let’s begin by looking at the cover of the book. Can anyone raise their hand and predict what the book is going to be about? Remember boys and girls, predictions do not always have to be correct, so you can change them throughout the book as I am reading.”

▪ Questions to ask if not engaged: What time of day do you think it is? Why? Who are the people on the front cover? What do you think they are doing?

▪ Read the dedication: What do you think owling is? Lets read to find out…

• During Reading:

o Stop reading occasionally and allow students to make connections. Stop and have students connect with the character/story. Ask why it is important to make connections?

▪ Questions

▪ Page 5- Was there ever a time where you had to be super quiet without making a peep?

▪ Page 8- How do you think she felt when she didn’t see the owl? Have you ever felt let down or disappointed?

▪ Page 10- Have you ever been playing in the snow and you’re cheeks felt cold/hot at the same time? What might be another way you can describe that feeling?

▪ Page 20- Has there ever been a time in your life when time stood still? Maybe a time when you were so surprised?

• After Reading:

o “Boys and girls, I want you to turn and talk with a partner and confirm whether or not your predictions were confirmed. Also, if you made a connection, I want you to discuss where in the book it was and why. Remember, it is important to make connections because it makes it easier to understand the book. It also allows you to understand how the character is feeling.

o Discuss as a whole group. “Does anyone want to share a time where they felt a connection with the book? I’ll take two. Good connections boys and girls.”

o “Raise your hand if your predictions were confirmed. We have very talented readers in this group.”

Assessment: Students will be successful if they are able to make reasonable predictions and a variety of connections.
