For the next 2 sections, explain your teaching procedures and/or explain what the students will be doing. Please make sure that you are covering all of the objectives. **Add in at least one additional resource or activity to supplement Reading Street. Please mark the additional resource/activity in bold print.
Whole Group Instruction: Students will interact with the teacher using the SmartBoard to go over the vocabulary from this weeks story, using the website and power point listed in the materials. After the power point activity has been completed, the teacher will go over fact and opinion. The teacher will ask many different questions to determine if the students can differentiate between the two. The teacher will then read the text pausing briefly, asking specific questions based on the main and supporting ideas of the story or passage. The students will be asked to go online and look up more of Da Vinci’s work and describe it in their own words, and if applicable share with the class.
Independent Activities: As I finished the power point and discussed the different topics with the children, I divided them up into their assigned groups and sent them to do their activities. At one center, I allowed the children to go over the power point again, and write the definition of the vocabulary as well as draw a picture of the vocabulary term. In addition to that center, I had one group go to the corner and read the Shared Readers. I asked the children to read these aloud and take turns. Once they were finished reading I asked them to ask each other questions pertaining to the text. In another group, I had the children read AR books and test on them if applicable. Finally in my last group, I had the children work on worksheets, per teacher’s request, on main ideas and supporting details.

I had the students write a KWL chart in their journal. I asked them to write down everything they learned from the reader, what they wanted to know, and what they already knew. I told them to make sure they only wrote down facts, and that I would check to see if they had inserted opinions from the book. If they finished that early I asked the students to write about a time where they saw a dinosaur bone and if they have seen something similar to what Mr. Waterhouse had done, in the present day.
