Lesson 12:
Genre Study
|
|
Mrs. Cunningham’s lesson is an example of explicit instruction of English SOL 6.4a the student will read and demonstrate comprehension of a variety of fiction, narrative nonfiction, and poetry and identify the elements of narrative structure including setting, character, plot, conflict, and theme. |
| The lesson also includes opportunities for students to: |
| 6.4b |
use knowledge of narrative and poetic structure to aid comprehension and predict outcomes, |
| |
|
| 6.4h |
paraphrase and summarize the main points in the text, |
| |
|
| 7.5a |
describe setting, character development, plot structure, theme, and conflict, and |
| |
|
| 7.5b |
compare and contrast forms including folk literature. |
| |
|
Mrs. Cunningham brings the text to life by reading aloud to her students, and she pauses frequently to allow them to demonstrate their comprehension. She assigns paired reading of a variety of texts as a way of ensuring that each student is reading a text at his or her instructional level with support. She also provides two graphic organizers to help develop organizational strategies for her students.
Mrs. Cunningham seizes a teachable moment to model the clarification of vocabulary during the read aloud selection.
