Assessment(s) of the Objective(s) Pre- Assessment: Students will respond to my questions on sequencing in their journals for me to review prior to the lesson. During Assessment: I will take anecdotal notes as the students construct their sequencing chart on the book, There Was an Old Lady Who Was Not Scared of Anything. Post-Assessment: I will take up the sequencing charts they completed and review them Thursday night to see if they understand sequencing.

Pre-Assessment: I will pre-assess my students by asking them higher order thinking questions about what the word, sequence means. I will do this on Tuesday prior to my lesson on Thursday. I will have them write their answer down in their writing journals so that I can review them before my lesson. During Assessment: During my lesson, I will take anecdotal notes while walking around talking with my students about their sequencing charts. I will be looking for their reasoning for placing the events of our read aloud in the order in which they did. Post-Assessment: I will take up the sequencing charts they completed and review them Thursday night to see if they understand sequencing.

Accommodations: Early finishers will have sustained silent reading if they have completed designing their JackO-Lanterns before the others in the class. If they complete the book they choose to read, I will ask them to complete a writing entry in their writing journal discussing the sequencing in the story they read.

Procedures: 1) I will begin the lesson by engaging the students in the question, What is sequencing? We will make a class anchor chart about sequencing. 2) Next we will read the book, There Was an Old Lady Who Was Not Scared of Anything. After reading the book, we will have a classroom discussion and talk about the sequencing of events. What things were discussed in the book? What happened first, next, then and last? (I will make a list of the students ideas on the smart board as they say them.) 3) After getting a few ideas of the sequence of events in our story, they will complete their own sequencing chart at their desks. I will give my students about ten minutes to complete this activity. I will walk around the classroom to give assistance and take anecdotal notes while they work on their chart. 4) Once the students are finished with their charts, I will pass out miniature pumpkins to let my students have a little fun on Halloween day! We are going to make our own Jack-O-Lanterns since our book has a Jack-O-Lantern in it and it is Halloween! I will have a table with all of the craft materials they may use for decorating and they can take their imaginations to select and use various elements and principles of design to communicate his or her ideas and feelings in their work of art. 4) As students are working at their tables on their Jack-O-Lantern, the teacher will interact with the students to ensure the students are on the right track. While I walk around, the students will explain to me why they decided to use the materials they have to decorate their pumpkins. I will play children Halloween music while they work to provide some musical inspiration! 5) I will give about 10-15 minutes to the students to decorate their Jack-O-Lanterns and then we will work together to clean our areas. The students will take home their masterpieces to enjoy! I will then hand the class back over to Mrs. Andrews. Technology: I will integrate technology by using the smart board to take notes from the students about the events in our book. I will also use the internet and smart board to play Children Halloween music as inspiration for decorating their pumpkins. Activity Analysis: The students will be completing three different activities throughout this lesson. The first activity they will complete will be a class discussion on sequencing and what it means. The second activity will be to fill out their own sequencing charts based off of the interactive read aloud we did. The third activity is to create their own Jack-O-Lantern and make it their own. I will have them present their Jack-O-Lanterns later in the afternoon at their Halloween party. References: Book: There Was an Old Lady Who Was Not Scared of Anything
