Lesson Reminders (Your lesson plan should be detailed enough that a substitute teacher could teach the lesson):
● BEFORE reading: How will you introduce the book? Will you activate prior knowledge? Will you
ask questions? Record everything in detail.
● DURING reading: Will you pause to highlight any vocabulary? Will you pause to ask any
questions? Will you ask students to predict? Or, will you read the story straight through the first
time, planning to re-read later to highlight aspects of the book? Record your plans in detail.
● AFTER: Will you lead a discussion? Will you work on any comprehension strategies, such as
making connections, summarizing, inferring, visualizing, etc…? Will you provide an activity that
allows students to respond to the book? Provide step-by-step instructions.
● ASSESSMENT: How will you assess the success of the lesson? How will you know if students
learned something from your lesson? Assessment can be informal, such as observation,
questioning, analyzing student work, etc…
