Verbal Group: Junior Great books
Junior Great Books provide students the chance to interact with excellent literature and develop their reading, writing, oral communication, and interpretive-thinking skills. Students practice their skills in very concrete ways, such drawing, making notes, discussing interpretive questions, and writing question of their own.
THIS WEEK'S LESSON: "doodle flute"
Objective: Students will be able to go deeper into text (poems) that they have read and listen to by asking questions and participating in the shared inquiry process.
Vocabulary: professional, alley, sloppy, lousy
Activity: Students will listen as the story is read aloud and share their questions about the story.
AZCCR Standards:
RL.2.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when, why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
RL.2.3 Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges.
RL.2.4 Describe how words and phrases (e.g., regular beats, alliteration, rhymes, repeated lines) supply rhythm and meaning in a story, poem, or song.
RL.2.6 Acknowledge differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue aloud.
RL.2.7 Use information gained from the illustrations and words in a print or digital text to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting, or plot.
RL.2.10 By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories and poetry, in the grades 2–3 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
RF.2.4 Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension. Writing Standards W.2.8 Recall information from experiences or gather information from provided sources to answer a question.
SL.2.1 Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about grade 2 topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups.
SL.2.2 Recount or describe key ideas or details from a text read aloud or information presented orally or through other media.
SL.2.3 Ask and answer questions about what a speaker says in order to clarify comprehension, gather additional information, or deepen understanding of a topic or issue. SL.2.4 Tell a story or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking audibly in coherent sentences.
SL.2.6 Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation in order to provide requested detail or clarification.
