Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping: Resource classroom – 9 students Three students have specific learning disabilities (SLD) in reading; one student has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and two have emotional and behavioral disorders (ED/BD). Two students have mild intellectual disabilities and one student has a speech and language impairment that struggles with reading (GCU, 2020). National/State Learning Standards: Illinois Common Core State Standards (CCSS): “RI.5.2.Determine two or more main ideas of a text and explain how they are supported by key details; summarize the text (CCSS, 2010).” Modified Standard: “RI.3.2.Determine the main idea of a text; recount the key details and explain how they support the main idea (CCSS, 2010).” Specific Learning Target(s)/Objectives: Student will be able to (SWBAT):  Identify the main idea of the story  Retell the main idea  Explain key details to support the main idea of the story Academic Language Vocabulary List:  Polite  Neat  Mean  Tough  Rude  Messy  Nice  Gentle ELA LESSON PLAN AND RATIONALE 3 Students will use reasoning skills to find the meaning of words.

(Wait for a response, and write down on board ideas students give). What do you know about princesses? (Wait for a response, and write down on board ideas students give).”  I will explain: “These are some great ideas but now I’m going to share with you a story that might surprise you about a princess and a dragon.” Time Needed 10 min. Multiple Means of Representation  The teacher will use the book “The Princess and the Dragon” by Audrey Wood to first read the story to the students.  Audiobooks will be used by the students to listen to the story at other designated times if they struggle with reading.  Computers will be available to watch and listen to the story on YouTube.  To help with details of the story antonym flashcards will be used to compare and contrast the difference between the two main characters.  The students will use the Venn Diagram to put vocabulary words describing the two main characters. Time Needed 20 min Multiple Means of Engagement  I will use the antonym matching flashcards to model how to play a matching game.  The students will use the antonym matching flashcards and pair students up in groups to play a matching game. They will match the cards that describe the princess characteristics with the dragon characteristics that are the opposite.  I will model how to place one characteristic of the princess, one characteristic of Time Needed 20 min ELA LESSON PLAN AND RATIONALE 4 the dragon, and one shared characteristic on the Venn Diagram worksheet.  I will then have the students cut the vocabulary words out and glue them under the right character or their shared section. Students with special needs:  iPads will be available for students to complete the assignment using Google docs if they have difficulty cutting out vocabulary or writing. Multiple Means of Expression The students will be asked to read, listen, or watch the story “The Princess and the Dragon” by Audrey Wood. They will highlight their vocabulary that helps describe the main characters. They will be given the Comprehension Worksheet to write down the main characters and retell the story with supporting details. Alternative means:  Multiple-choice options (no more than 3) will be provided in each section for the students to circle on the worksheet.  Students who need to use an iPad will be given the document in Google docs that will allow them to tap on their answer and later submit for assessment.  Students who need extra support will raise their hands for one-to-one interaction with the teacher or paraprofessional.  If assignments are completed early students may quietly do a pair-share of their comprehension worksheet. Time Needed 15 min Extension Activity and/or Homework Students will be given a sample letter to show them how to write a letter to the princess. They will be given a worksheet with a blank copy, so they can write to the princess and tell her how to be a good princess. Time Needed Rational Reflection The book “The Princess and the Dragon” by Audrey Wood was chosen to capture the interest of all the students in the classroom. All the boys love science and non-fiction genre while the only girl in the class likes nothing but princess stories. I felt like this book would help to satisfy both interests and meet goals for reading comprehension and decoding.
