Purpose of This Unit:
The purpose of this document is to provide teachers with a set of lessons that are standards-based and aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS). The standards establish guidelines for English language arts (ELA) as well as for literacy in social studies, and science. Because students must learn to read, write, speak, listen, and use language effectively in a variety of content areas, the standards promote the literacy skills and concepts required for college and career readiness in multiple disciplines. The skills and knowledge captured in the ELA/literacy standards are designed to prepare students for life outside the classroom. They include critical-thinking skills and the ability to closely and attentively read texts in a way that will help them understand and enjoy complex works of literature.
Essential Questions Enduring Understanding
1. What is a narrative text?2. How does a writer tell a sequenced story, real or
imagined, showing a passage of time with an appropriate closure?
3. How does reading an on-level text with purpose and understanding support reading development?
4. How does fluency impact a reader’s ability to
1. A narrative conveys events in a logical sequence (real or imagined).
2. Writers tell the story with details including temporal words to help the reader understand the flow of events from beginning to end.
3. The ability to read on-level text is a foundational step in reading increasingly complex text.
6
comprehend text?5. How does students’ ability to monitor and self-
correct increase comprehension?6. How does distinguishing vowel sounds in words
support students in reading and writing?7. How does knowledge of letter-sound relationships
impact our ability to read?
4. Reading with fluency allows the reader to attend to comprehension.
5. Proficient Readers monitor and self-correct when comprehension is interrupted.
6. The ability to distinguish between vowel sounds in spoken words is a foundational skill in understanding work structure and its role in reading and writing.
7. Knowledge of letter-sound leads to decoding/reading

Message Time Plus Example
This Message addresses the following standards:
• L.1.6, L1.1e
47
When I was walking to school I heard noise coming from behind the bushes. It was a scratching noise but I could not see what was making that noise. Then I remembered yesterday when I walked to school I saw a small kitten under that same bush. I wonder if that's what could it be. Finally I saw the kitten run out from behind the bush and that solved the mystery of the scratching noise.

Appendix D Lesson Plan Examples
Writing Workshop Lesson
Standards:1.RF.1.1a: Recognize the distinguishing features of a sentence (e.g., first word, capitalization, ending punctuation).1.RF.1.2c: Isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in spoken single-syllable words.1.RF.4: Read with sufficient accuracy and fluency to support comprehension.W.1.3: Write narratives in which they recount two or more appropriately sequenced events, include some details regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order, and provide some sense of closure.
Essential Questions: What is a narrative text? A narrative conveys events in a logical sequence, real or imagined.
62
Interdisciplinary Connections: Social Studies, Families
Equipment Needed: Dry erase boards, markers, leveled readers
Goals and Objectives: After the teacher models how to write a narrative during message time plus, I will write a narrative that has a beginning, middle and end.
Learning Activities or Instructional Strategies:
Mini-Lesson: The teacher will write a narrative that will include a beginning, middle and end during message time plus. Students will listen as the teacher does a think aloud to model how to think of a small moment and say aloud what will happen in the beginning, middle and end. Then the teacher will write the story on the board in front of the children while the children read as she writes.Guided Practice: Students will turn and talk to their partner to discuss a small moment that they would like to stretch
63
throughout 3 pages. Students will discuss what happens in the beginning, middle and end of their small moment.Independent Practice: Students will grab their narrative writing folders and paper and begin writing the story they told their partners. Students will quickly sketch out their ideas and then begin writing their narratives. Conference: Teacher will meet with Josh, Kaitlyn, Bobby and Abdul. Teacher will meet with students and prompt students to get started on their narrative and to make sure that they quickly sketched their story so that they can focus on the writing. Share: Two students that attempt to write a beginning, middle and end to their narrative will share their thinking and strategies
Differentiation: Josh and Kaitlyn will sketch his ideas across 3 pages and practice stretching out his words as he writes his sentences.Bobby and Abdul will say and touch each page before writing the beginning, middle and end of their narrative.

Assessments: Narrative Scoring Rubric and Student Checklist
Homework: In a writing notebook, students will write a new narrative piece and use the student checklist to edit their work.
