Student-Friendly Vocabulary Narrative Elements Text structure Conflict Resolution

E. Procedure: 1. The students will start the lesson with a review from the previous lesson. Whole group. They will be asked to remember the story The Talent Show and identify the problem that happened in the story. Students will volunteer to answer the question as well as explain what the solution was. 2. The students will then be given a worksheet (Narrative Elements) to help them identify the main elements of a story and how it can help them understand what they read. (Worksheet at bottom of page). The students should write their answers in their journal. Whole group and independent. Students will volunteer to read the bulleted parts of the worksheet. I will read the first paragraph to the class. I will ask the students to determine what the conflict in the story is. A couple of students will read the rest of the worksheet aloud. I will then ask them identify the resolution. 3. Afterwards, the class will discuss about the moral of the story and how the problem was solved. I will explain that the moral of the story focuses on the right and wrong. I will also explain that there is usually more than one way to solve a problem. I will point out that fables often state the conflict in the first paragraph and the resolution in the last paragraph.

4. As a ticket out the door, the students will write a problem they have had and how they solved it. The students will be given a small sheet of paper that looks like the image located at the bottom of the page. When the students finish their tickets out the door, the teacher will share a personal experience; this will give the students an idea if they completed the activity correctly. F. Closure: The closure will be a sum up of the lesson and discuss that narrative elements are important to know because they inform the reader about the conflicts and resolutions a story has. The students will also share what problems they have had and how they were able to solve them. G. Assessment: Assessment Tool The students will turn in their journal and ticket out the door. The students are reading, writing, and speaking about narratives elements, but also learning text structure. These activities should demonstrate if the students were able to understand narrative elements: conflict and resolutions of the story.

What Is Being Assessed? The students are being formally and informally assessed through out the lesson. I will check if the students completed the assignment correctly and if they were able to show comprehension about the topic; this will show if students grasped the content or if they are still struggling. H. Reflection& Thoughts: Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest to teach? The easiest part of the lesson would be the reading worksheet (Narrative Elements). The students are reading the worksheet and finding out what the conflict, resolutions, and moral of the story are. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the most challenging to teach? I dont think this lesson has a challenging part. This lesson is somewhat a review to them; theyre just accessing prior knowledge and connecting it with new content/ideas. What lesson or concept should be taught prior to this lesson? I think the vocabulary that will be used in the lesson such as conflict, resolution, and moral should be taught prior to the lesson. I think this will facilitate the students learning instead of them

wondering what the words mean when the teacher says them or when they see them through out their readings. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? I would extend this lesson by having the students create mini booklets or books. The students will create stories of their own and incorporate conflict as well as resolutions; they will also have a section that states the conflict, resolution, and moral of the story. The students will then share their booklets with their classmates to see if they can identify the narrative elements of the stories. This will be a fun activity that will also ease the students learning of the content. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? For those struggling students, I will have a booklet of my own and show them a mini story. The students will be asked to find out what the conflict and resolutions are; if they are struggling they can turn the page and a section for each topic should state the answers. This will give the students an idea of the lesson and it should help them on their comprehension of the topic. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I dont think this lesson needs any changes. I would only add the extension because I think it would aid the visual learners and ease their comprehension about the lesson. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? This lesson wasnt difficult to plan because it seems as a review. The students have already been exposed to the content about reading stories and finding out the key elements; this lesson is just to enhance their comprehension and help them find the conflicts and problems that the stories have.
