About This Lesson
The Burro’s Tortillas unit is built around two interactive shared readings of the text. The second interactive shared reading is a review of the entire book which focuses on analysis of the text with questions that English proficient students would be expected to answer, and on helping ELLs meet the grade-level skills embodied in the standards. Students will collaborate with the teacher to create a cooperative paragraph. Teacher notes are included in the Teacher’s Guide. Aligned to Common Core State Standards: RL.1.1, RL.1.2, RL.1.4, RL.1.7, RL.1.10, SL.1.1, W.1.3, W.1.7, L.1.2
I really enjoyed your lesson. I wish I could have seen the entire writing lesson. I noticed you initially said the group for each portion (beginning, middle and end) had to agree and write the same sentence for their section of the story. However, students had different sentences. I am thinking that after sharing all the sentences you worked with the students to combine and formulate the best sentence by discussing changes. Am I correct? If so, did you do this all in one day or did you take a section of the story each day?
