Easy-to-use, teacher-friendly 8-page Lesson Plans support the 3 stages of the gradual release of responsibility teaching process: model the strategy; supported practice; and independent practice.
Lesson Plan 1 – Model the strategy
Begin by teaching each strategy with a modelled lesson,
where the strategy is introduced to the group or whole class.
Lesson Plan 2 – Supported practice
Follow with a Supported practice lesson where students
work with partners to practise the strategy.
Lesson Plan 3 – Independent practice
When students have mastered the strategy, they work individually on Independent practice texts, which are at three levels of difficulty.
* How can I use this resource?
* What if I do not have access to an interactive whiteboard?
* Will I be able to cater for differing needs of students?
* Is this resource suitable for EAL (ESL) students?
* How long will it take to teach each strategy?
* How do I use the Independent Practice cards?
* What support does this resource provide for assessment?
* Can I apply the processes in the Lesson Plans to other short texts?
* How does the resource align with the Australian Curriculum?
