Set expectations for behavior
and for achievement
The students will be in a small
group setting all sitting around
the teacher.
Tap into prior
knowledge/experiences
The teacher will have a KWL
chart and will tell the students
that they will be learning about
sea stars. The teacher will give
the students 2 minutes to think
about things they may already
know about sea stars. Once the
students have had time to
think, they will share their
thoughts with their group. The
teacher will write down
everything that is said onto the
KWL chart.
Next, the teacher will ask the
group what they want to know
about sea stars. They will have
two minutes to decide what
they wish to learn. Once time is
up the teacher will write down
everything that is said onto the
KWL chart.
Preview vocab/language
If the students happened to use
the vocabulary that will be
used in the book, the teacher
will point it out. The teacher
will then tell the students what
vocabulary to look for in the
story they are going to hear,
and to try to remember what
the words on the list mean in
the story.
