Guided Practice: The guided practice for this unit will be a
reading, listening, and comprehending activity based on
‘Author's purpose. I will frst read aloud @ passage found on
pages 223A and 2238 found in the student edition reading
book. | will read aloud the passage “Coretta Scott King’
which is a story about a woman who worked hard for the
fights of others. After reading the passage, | will model for
siudents how to find the author's purpose of the passage,
which will be to inform others about Coretta Scott King and
her fight for others. | will then share other examples of
Author's purpose which will be Biography about Barack
Obama, Magazine about sports, and @ Book about why
everyone should have a new pet. As a class, we will
complete a graphic organizer where we will compare and
contrast how these reading materials are alike and different
even though they all present a different purpose.

Objectives 4
and 2
Independent Practice: For the Independent practice,
students will eceive PIE reading card, which represent
Persuade, Inform, and Entertain. Using their PIE reading
cards, students will have to read the seven different
passages and determine which of the three purposes
(persuade, inform, or entertain) the author had in mind when
writing each passage. | will have students sor their PIE
reading passage cards into the appropriate categories, and
underline any clues in the text that led them to that decision.
I will also have them glue their final sorted passages down
and turn them in to me as a grade.

Objectives 4

Integration of the Arts: The teacher will have students read a
fictional story with a clear plot (introduction, rising, climax,
falling action, and solution) and a non-fictional passage.
Alter reading the story, students will choose the author's
purpose for each of the writings and use their imagination to
draw a scene from either passage that stuck out in their
mind the most.

Integration of Health: The teacher will read with students a
passage abou! the negative effects of eating junk food such
‘as potato chips, candy, and cookies. Students wil then write
a short paper about the effects junk food can have on a
person’s body. Students will also be asked to determine the

effects of junk food.
Integration of Physical Education: The teacher will have
students read a passage on exercising and different types of
‘common exercises that people do on a daily basis. Students
will then choose the exercise that they liked best and write
how they can incorporate that certain exercise into their daily
routine. Students can then present and demonstrate the
exercise they chose

“Anticipator Set In order to catch students attention, | wilall
play the “Addition Ball Toss" game with students, | will get
students to form a large circle around thelr group tables, and | October 8, 2015 | Objectives 3 and
I will ask @ math question and randomly throw the addition 4
ballto a student. The student has approximately 3 seconds
to answer the question, and i they fail lo do so they will
have to be seated. Students willbe asked 1) 949=
2) 6+6: 4) 141+
To find out what students already
know about tis topic | will ask questions like "What did you
notice about the numbers we added together during our ball
toss game?"; “What do you think wien you see the topic
“Working with Equal Groups'?’; "How do you think adding
the numbers we added today relates to our topic for the
day?"
Direct Instruction: During the Direct Instruction partion of the
lesson, | will teach students that they can model addition or
repeated addition with an array. | will first show them that October 6, 2015 | Objective s 3 and
arrays always have equal rows, | will then present students he
with an array of plastic coins, 2 rows and 3 in each. After we
determine that the coins represent an array, | will show them
that once they know how many rows there are and how
many are in each row, they can write the addition sentence
that represent the array. | will get students’ ideas about what
they think the addition sentence is by questioning them first.
Aer they share, | will show them thatthe addition sentence
that represents the array is 3+3=6. | will explain to them that
this is the addition sentence because there are three in each
row, and we are trying to find out how many there are in al,
so therefore, 3+3=6 Is the only sentence that would
represent the array.
Guided Practice: wil give bags of counters, beans, coins,
and other small objects to small groups andlor partners.
‘Together, we will arrange the objects into equal groups andaiscuss different ways o organize the same number Of
objects. Every once and awhile 1 must remind students that
the groups should have equal numbers of objects and must
have the same type of objects because arrays always have
equal amounts, Together, we will also draw the different
arrangements and practice counting the groups. | will give
my assistance to help students write adcition number
sentences to go with each arrangement to calculate the
total

Independent Practice: Students will perform an activily
where they have to find information about arrays. Students
‘will work with a partner. With their partner, students will use
Paper and markers to make an array. One student will have
their partner write a repeated addition sentence that
describes the array. This activity will be repeated several
times. After students repeat this activity several times, they
will present their arrays and findings with the entire class,
Students will also discuss new ideas they may have come
Up with while performing this activity.

Objectives 3 and
4
Integration of the Arts: The teacher will have students to
draw and color two sets of arrays. In their arrays, students
will create different pictures within their arrays on each row.
For example, in one array, students may draw houses or
basketball, and in the other, they may draw computers or
rave cars.

Objectives 3 and

Integration of Health: Students will be given different
vogetabes and fruits. Such as apples, oranges, grapes, and
watermelons, to create arrays with the fruits. After students
have finished creating their different arrays, students will
present their findings to the class and explain which fruit
they used to create their array is thelr favorite and why.
