Problem scenario: You are asked to design a 30-minute, engaging instructional
activity for a PreK-20 of your choice, for a subject of your choice.

3
I am reading a chapter book to a second grade class. My goal is to popcorn read with the
students and have them finish one chapter and write a short paragraph on their
understanding of the chapter, all in 30 minutes.

Materials needed:

We will need a chapter book, a classroom, a piece of paper, a pencil, and your brain.

































Classroom Required:

We will need just our normal set classroom.
4

Engaging activities:

Class reads aloud and then we individually write a paragraph about our
comprehension of that chapter in the book, and then we talk about what we
individually wrote together as a class.

Instructional strategy:

I will have the class pick a chapter book from or book selection in the classroom,
then we will read the first chapter of that book, I will take volunteers first, then call
on random students to read a page. Students may take notes on important things
while we read on the handout I give them. Once we are done reading this chapter, I
will have the students write a short paragraph on what they thought of the chapter
and what it talked about, was there a moral? What was the underlying message?
Once they are done writing this, we will quickly talk about what the students said in
their short paragraphs.
























Assessment:

5
I would then collect this assignment and grade it by check, plus or minus. Check
being they had the moral of the chapter down and knew exactly what it was saying,
the plus would be that the student had the right idea and then the minus would be
that they were completely off and it seemed like they didnt even listen to the story.
