These resources have been made available to be used for a pull-out lesson of a small group of First Grade ELLs. They relate to the 5-day plan in the Weekly Lessons Sampler. The text used is a Grade 1 narrative text, Watching the Storm.
Lesson Plan for Watching the Storm
The basic pattern for planning the week’s literacy program is:
Sharing a genre text (a play, a poem, a chant, a song)
Sharing a text using the CD-ROM, or text (modeling)
Teaching an essential skill (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension)
Independent/Small Group activities (apply and practice)
