Lesson+Plans

Throughout the semester we were required to create two lesson sets. These lesson sets both include an interactive read aloud, reading mini lesson and writing mini lesson. These lessons did not have to be taught in our classroom if the opportunity did not present itself.

My first lesson set is on //The Junkyard Wonders// by Patricia Polacco. I chose this book because I feel that Patricia Polacco's stories have extremely strong messages that students may be able to relate to. I especially like that her books are written about her life or her family's life. When reading Patricia Polacco's stories, I feel her history shining through her writing.

My second lesson set is framed around another Patricia Polacco book, //Pink and Say//. We were asked to create a lesson set based on a nonfiction text. I found this lesson set to be slightly more difficult to write but managed to make decent lessons in the end.
