Literary prompts focus on setting, mood, and foreshadowing, while a final open-ended task extends prediction beyond the ending. The teacher plan estimates two to three hours and names plot, writing style, fluency, and higher-order thinking as objectives. A write-pair-share procedure supports accountable participation.

The Rainbow Fish Worksheet

After learners read the named picture book, the page guides them through a character-and-theme analysis. Questions move from what the central fish says and does when asked to share, to why that reaction occurs and what social consequence follows. Later prompts address attempts to regain friends, emotional change, and the broader lesson. The worksheet requires written explanation from the source story and does not include the book text or a completed response page.

Traffic Light Feelings – SEL Self-Regulation Lesson

Traffic Light Feelings – SEL Self-Regulation Lesson
, Not Grade Specific,

In this 7-slide Google Slides Lesson Presentation, students will learn about the Traffic Light Feelings. This is a self-regulation tool that helps students identify when they are being unsafe, have a big emotion, and need to stop. Red feelings are feelings that are BIG such as really angry, scared, unsafe, or out of control. Students will learn the phrase STOP, SLOW AND GO strategy. The yellow light represents feelings that are silly, excited, worried, stressed, or frustrated. The green light represents feelings that are good for class, with peers in the class or when they need to focus on a task. There is a sorting activity with 18 sorting cards. Some of the scenarios on the cards are; kids who are too excited and silly with their parent, a child who is very upset and visibly crying, 2 kids arguing, 2 kids fighting, a child who is calm, a child who is reading, a child who is proud about graduating, a child who is raising their hand, a child in their own personal space bubble, a child who is frustrated about breaking a toy, a child who is thinking, a child who is running from a crocodile, children who are jumping in excitement, a child scared about talking in front of an audience, etc. First, you can show the 7 slide presentation with animations throughout the presentation. Next, the students will work in partners/group to do the sorting activity. They will get a sorting sheet and 18 cards. Print off a sorting sheet and 18 cards for each partnership/group. Lastly, invite students back at their own desk to colour in their traffic light colouring sheet and think of the different feelings represented in each light. There are 7 slides in the presentation for the class and there are 5 slides that contain the sorting activity, sorting cards, and colouring sheet.

Unit Lesson Plan organises a themed sequence into three parallel planning strands. For each objective, the teacher can name an instructional activity and the assessment that will show whether the goal was met. Keeping objectives, learning experiences, and checks for understanding visibly aligned helps expose gaps before instruction begins. The single-page overview is useful for sketching a short unit, comparing the balance of its components, or discussing the plan with a teaching partner before creating daily lesson details.

Writing Graphic Organiser Worksheet

Writing Graphic Organiser Worksheet
, Not Grade Specific,

The worksheet begins with a topic field followed by four separate fact boxes. Learners choose a subject, collect relevant information, and place one supporting fact in each section before drafting. A direction about closure ensures planning extends beyond a list of details to the ending of the eventual composition. The form does not prescribe a paragraph count, sources, or genre beyond fact-based writing, leaving teachers flexibility in how the notes become a final piece.

Writing to Recount Template

Writing to Recount Template
, Not Grade Specific,

The template begins by helping writers establish when an experience occurred, using several optional sentence starts. Separate prompts gather the location, participants, and main actions before learners arrange events in time order. A bank of connectives supports movement from the first event through later actions and the conclusion. The final prompt asks what happened at the end, giving the recount a defined stopping point rather than leaving it as an unsequenced list.
