Instructional Ideas
  • To model Jason's plan ahead process, provide pairs with reading passages and ask them to substitute words similar in meaning with keywords in the sentences
Classroom Considerations
  • The sixth in an 11-lesson unit that uses David Mitchell's Black Swan Green as an anchor text
  • All the lessons in the three-unit module follow the same format
Pros
  • The nine-page resource includes an overview, the plan, an assignment linking the independent reading (AIR) with the concepts included in the lesson, discussion questions and possible responses, and a writing prompt
Cons
  • Some class members may need additional support to maintain focus on the out-of-class Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) assignment
