Here is a 19-page sample lesson plan that uses an interesting format. It starts with an appetizer or activity to make reading the book James and the Giant Peach fun. Then it dives into the main course or core content instruction which requires learners to make predictions, use context clues, and cite textual references as they identify cause and effect. There are a few worksheets included and teaching tips that you may find interesting; however, the actual lesson plan doesn't begin until page nine of the packet.
