Intern: Preslie Flemins Grade: 3rd Duration: 1 hour

Date: September 28, 2016

LESSON PLAN FORMAT:

Objectives:

Summarize Information in text, maintain meaning and logical order.[RCE]

Use ideas (e.g., illustrations, tiles, topic sentences, key words, and
foreshadowing clues) to make and confirm predictions.[2A]
Paraphrase the themes and supporting details of fables, legends, myths, or
stories.[5A]
Sequence and summarize the plots main events and explain their influence
on future events.[8A]
Describe the interaction of characters including their relationships and
changes they undergo.[8B]

Focus/ Anticipatory:

The main focus of the lesson will be reading the story Yonder Mountain. The
students will listen to a recording of a CD that will read aloud the book to
them.

Relevancy:

To have the story tie into ones life, I am going to ask the students When has
there been a time in your life you needed to put someone before yourself?
Instead of having the students all say their answers at once they will turn
over to their neighbor and take about 20 seconds to share a time they the
needed to put someone before themselves.

Explanation/Teaching Strategies& Modeling:

During the modeling process the students will model how to stop and think
about what was just read.
The students will also model writing a summary that includes the problem
and solution.

Questioning Strategies:

Higher Order Thinking Questions that I plan to ask the students while we read
through the book.

Instead of saying that Chief Sky was The author lets you know that Chief
old, how did the author let you know Sky was old, by giving clues in the
 this? Explain your answer by using
details from the text.
Why did Chief Sky call the three
young men to him? (Pg. 434)
Using the illustration on page 435
and details from the selection, define
the word mist.
What details on page 441 show that
Soaring Eagle did not have an easy
time on Yonder Mountain?
When Soaring Eagle came down from
the mountain, he told Chief Sky he
had nothing in his hands. Even
though he had nothing to show Chief
Sky, he still brought back something
important. What was this? (Pg. 442)
Chief Sky chose Soaring Eagle
because he said he wanted a leader
who has seen beyond the
mountain. What does he mean?
(Pg. 445)
Guided Practice:
text such as:
Chief Sky had seen many summers
and winters. Many summers and
winters means he had seen many
years pass. But now his step was
slow, his hand trembled on the bow.
This sentence describes attributes of
elderly people: moving slowly, hands
trembling or shaking.
He could no longer spot brother
bear. This sentence means that his
eyesight was failing.
Chief Sky called the three young men
to him because he was getting old
and needed one of the men to take
his place as the leader of the people.
Mist is a synonym for fog.
When Soaring Eagle came down from
the mountain, his clothes were ripped
and torn. His feet were bleeding as
he stumbled into the village.
Even though Soaring Eagle came
back from the mountaintop empty
handed, his actions spoke volumes
about his compassionate and
unselfish nature. Soaring Eagle
proved that he possessed the
qualities needed to become a great
leader.
Chief Sky meant that he wanted a
leader that could see past his own
problems to do what was needed to
serve others unselfishly.
 For this lesson I would say the whole thing is going to be guided practice. The
students will never work independently. We will do everything as a whole
class. During the lesson the students will:
o Discuss important characters
o Make predictions throughout the story
o Identify Major events and summary
o Go through the steps of Summary(Beginning, Middle, End)
o Write a summary together as a class for the story Yonder Mountain

Closure:

For the closure I will identify the THEME with the students. The students will
also be reminded of the previous things we talked about for THEME.

Independent Practice:

For this lesson the students will not be required to do any independent work.
The students will complete all summary worksheets as a class. This is going
to be ongoing lesson, so independent work will being coming later on in the
week.
