Today's Lesson
Spelling
Review spelling words to prepare for your test at the end of the week. You may wish to use Spelling Frame. Try the Spelling Tiles and Sorting Segments to listen to the parts of the word, then sort the words into the correct or incorrect box.
Introduction
Start today’s lesson by reviewing what you did in the prior two lessons. Ask your student what they remember about the elements of a story. Have them tell you as much as they can recall and invite them to add to the KWL chart.
Main Activity
Explain to them that today they will be planning for their own story. Your student can come up with their own idea for a story or choose from one of the following prompts:
- One day you were petting your friend’s pet dog and she started speaking to you.
- Write a story about what it would be like if you woke up one morning and you had wings!
- Every day you pass a door. It is always closed and locked. One day, as you pass, you notice that the door is open. You step inside. Write a story about what happens when you go in the door.
Once you have decided on a story, begin planning using a blank copy of the Roller Coaster Graphic Organiser.
