Lesson Plan : Writing to Teach
Teacher Name: | Katelyn Runyan-Gless |
Grade: | Kindergarten |
Subject: | Language Arts |
Topic: | Students will write about what they are "specialists" in to teach their audience what they know. |
Content: | English Language Arts |
Goals: | Students will write a three page paper on a topic of their choice. They will use writing and drawing to express their knowledge. |
Objectives: | Write or use illustrations to inform. Use knowledge of letter sound correlation (phonetic spelling) when writing. Use a variety of words in early forms of writing, dictation or illustrations to express complete thoughts. Share written work with classmates. |
Materials: | Writing paper, pencils, crayons |
Introduction: | We are going to write our very own non-fiction books so that we can teach other people things that we know! |
Development: | The authors who wrote about Cesar Chavez last week taught us so many things we didn't know before. They are Cesar Chavez specialists, and I bet they know a lot more things that they didn't get to tell us because it's too much to put in just one book. Those authors might need 4 books just to tell us everything they know. But, just like those authors we are specialists in things too, and that's what we are going to write about today. I want you to get your brains ready to think about what you will write about (here I will remind all the students what they said they were going to write about). First, we are going to write a book together so that you know what I'm looking for. |
Practice: | I was think that we know a lot about dinosaurs because we studied them in December,I was hoping that you would all help me write a book about dinosaurs. |
Accommodations: | Students will be allowed to choose the topic they write about (Hannah Montana is acceptable). |
Checking For Understanding: | How many pages are we writing? What are you writing about? Can you give me a 3 finger re-tell? |
Closure: | |
Evaluation: | Each student will be graded based on the rubric. |
