Objectives- What are you

teaching? Students will be able to:

Discuss the chapter within a group setting.
Show comprehension by forming complete sentences while answering inquiring

questions about the chapter.

Provide supported analysis of the chapter.
Comprehend information obtain while reading the story aloud.

Rationale

I am teaching these objectives because they align directly with the English and language

arts standards for this grade level. They will be able to analyze the chapter and the

characters actions, which is an integral part of their learning in second grade. This lesson

fits into the unit of novel studies. They have been answering comprehension questions

after they read the chapter. This allows them to reflect and connect big events

throughout the book. This lesson will incorporate cooperative and collaborative learning. I

have noticed that my students struggle with coming up with answers, so I designed this

lesson so they can brainstorm ideas within their groups.

activity. Each table will be given a dice. Each side of the dice will

contain a question that will assess your comprehension of that

chapter. As a group, you will read the question and then discuss the

answer. Once your group has discussed the question, you will work

as a group to create the best answer. Once you have answered all

questions we will go over the answers as a class.

Dismiss the class into their table groups.
