Instructional Ideas

  • Create and instruct homogeneous small groups to rotate between activities in their English language arts stations; use the unit with the group needing additional instruction 
  • Place worksheets in plastic sheet protectors, have scholars write using washable marker, then wipe down and reuse with the next group 

Classroom Considerations

  • Copies are requred for those participating in the activities 
  • Some curriculum materials are missing; however, the lessons can still be implemented with modifications
  • The unit was designed as part of the Houghton Mifflin English language arts curriculum, it can also be used on its own or alongside another curriculum of similar topics

Pros

  • The lesson plan is organized clearly and written in detail for easy implementation 
  • Offers a variety of activities and discussion topics 

Cons

  • Each week follows a similar pattern for routine-based instruction
