key details and elaborating how important this information is, students will begin to understand
that the two are interchangeable.

norms/rules, it is vital that we continue to model and demonstrate correct behavior, demeanor,
and acceptable classwork. I will model what should be done, gradually releasing them to work

independently. By doing so, they will know their expectations and how/what to do.
Collaborative Discussion: Throughout schooling, students are constantly encouraged to
participate in group work/collaboration with their peers. By doing this in my lesson, students are
developing communication skills as well as teamwork skills. The content being taught is
reinforced as my students work together and share what key details they have learned.
Small-groups: For students who struggle with illustrating key details discussed throughout our
book as well as labeling their images, I will work in small-groups with. By working in small-
groups, time is more allocated to where it is needed. This time with the students, increases their
confidence, as they receive instant feedback and can answer any questions that they have.

Students labeling these images, pull these students to our shared table and discuss
what was presented in our text. Refer to the book as we work together to
finish drawing/labeling.
For students who struggle with illustrating key details discussed throughout our book as well as
labeling their images, I will work in small-groups with. By working in this small-group, time will
be more allocated to where it is needed and we can discuss/refer to specific key details that may
be simple for my students to illustrate/label. This time with my students will solidify their
understanding of bears and their characteristics while supporting their acquisition of key details.
While working in this small-group, each student will focus on completing their graphic organizer
with specific, detailed illustrations. While labeling these images, if a student does not know how
to spell the word correctly, I will encourage them to sound out the word and listen to each letter-
sound.
My CT, collaborative teacher, and I will continue to facilitate student practice identifying the main idea
and details of text throughout the year with a variety of texts, which will be read to the students during
guided reading sessions.

If a student masters the content quickly, I will encourage my students to attempt to write short
sentences/phrases explaining their illustrations. I will also ask these students to add more key details,
with labels. Once the students complete these extensions, students will be able to get their book box and
read independently.
Prior to picking this book, on bears, we asked our students to draw/label what animals they would be
interested in reading about. Several students picked bears, therefore, I decided this specific animal would
be appealing and exciting to my students.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
While this specific lesson on bears, does not connect to/reflect the local community, it involves an animal
that can be found throughout Florida and the United States.
Learning to distinguish main ideas/key details transfer to the real world and living in a community. For
example, when reading a book for enjoyment or a newspaper article it is necessary to be able to pick out
the main idea to understand it. This applies to reading information found online as well as situations that
don't involve reading such as understanding the main idea/key details of what someone is telling you or
even the main idea/key details of a movie or TV show.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional challenge during this
lesson (enrichment)?
If a student needs additional challenge, I will encourage them to attempt to write short sentences/phrases
explaining their illustrations. I will also ask these students to add more key details, with labels. I will also

ask these students to share their illustrations with their shoulder partner and peers. They can also assist
their peers with sounding out words and labeling their images.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional language support?
For those students who need additional language support, I would utilize the read-aloud option on myON,
as I read aloud to my students. I plan on using a pointer, to point to the words as I read, that way my
students can become familiar with the correct way/direction to read and can follow along with the text.
If any students have exceptional language disabilities, I would try to get a copy of the book, that way
they could have it in their hands and refer to specific details, words, images, and so forth as we read. I
would also consider getting this text in several languages.
M- This student tends to get off task quickly and has difficulty staying focused, therefore, I plan to have
her sit close to the board, so she is engaged in the text and images. I will also be pairing her with a
shoulder partner that initiates and encourages discussion when prompted.
O- This student has tendencies of calling out and getting off task, as well. This student is considered to be
on the spectrum and through observing, taking note, research, and discussion, teachers believe he may be
autistic. I will be walking around monitoring the turn & talk as well as encouraging him to share his
information with me. That way I can encourage his learning and reassure him that he is on task and doing
well. I will call on this student throughout the lesson to share his ideas, opinions, and thoughts with his
peers as well as sharing his illustrations.
