How will you activate prior knowledge? Today we will be reading an article about…. …AIM… …No DAPL… …Indigenous Schools… Why do you think we are doing this? Why is this important? Introduction to New Material/Mini-Lesson How will you convey the new information to students? How will you model? What will students do? Key Points/definitions: • Protests • Racism • Treatment of Indigenous Peoples • AIM • No DAPL • Education • Systems of oppression Model: Before reading we will discuss the difference between comprehension and making inference questions. Will Model how to find and underline key information in a text in the first paragraph(s) using an example on the board. 5-7 Guided Practice: How will your students attempt to explain or practice what you have taught? How will you monitor, coach and check for understanding? To check for understanding, We will use turn and talks and then class-wide sharing to discuss our answers for the comprehension and inference making questions throughout the articles. Every paragraph or two there is a direction to “STOP” and answer the questions below. Independent Practice: In what ways will your students show mastery on their own? After discussing inference making and comprehension and modeling underlining key information, students will be instructed to read independently and answer the questions within their articles. When 80-90% of students have answered a set of questions (using hand raising to determine who is ready), we will turn and talk and then share out to discuss our answers. The articles will be read, answered, discussed and then turned in by the end of the class period. Anything not completed is the students’ responsibility to complete for homework. 25 Closing: How will you have students summarize what they learned? How will you connect this lesson to past and future learning? How will you assess mastery? Students will discuss their final questions and then discuss again the “Why”… Why do you think we read this? Why is it important that we learn this? How can we use this information in our own lives? 5
