This hovercraft reading comprehension with lesson plan includes: Visualization (on the front cover) Start your lesson by taking a minute to think and share something about the topic. Read the script aloud (slowly), perhaps prepare some music or sound effects. Student close their eyes and let their imaginations wander. Students open their eyes, read the question aloud and give them a few minutes to complete. Ask a few students to share or keep answers until the end to compare with what they learn in the passage. Quick pause—thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership. Download links and encyclopedia index available here. Pre-Reading Trivia Students will write down one thing they already know about the subject and then read five more facts and discuss. These facts are fun, and the students will enjoy learning about the subject before reading more. Give 1 minute for students to write what they already know (no pressure—best guess is fine). Read the five facts together. After each fact, do ask a student for their opinion, was it surprising? Set a purpose by asking students to highlight/underline one fact they want to learn more about during the reading. Reading Passage The text is a high-interest reading passage with set paragraphs, roughly three to four paragraphs long. It contains a variety of themes about the topic, anywhere from history to technology. The passage is between 250 and 350 words in length. First, ask students to look at the headings and see what they’ll learn about today. What do they know about the topic/heading? First read options: Teacher read-aloud (best for support). Partner reading (paragraph by paragraph). While reading, students underline important details, and vocabulary words they think may come up in the questions section. Mixed Questions The first question page contains four multiple-choice questions, each with a choice of four answers, and three written response questions that require a sentence or two from the student. Students complete the mcqs first independently, then review quickly as a class. For the 3 written responses, try to get students giving the answer with some form of evidence: “I think ___ because the text says ___.” If students get stuck, send them back to check the passage. Vocabulary Questions Practice seven key words from the text in this section across two activities. First section is scrambled words where students will unscramble three words given a clue for each. The second section is a word to meaning matching activity. Before starting, have some students read out words they underlined in the passage. Ask students to say the word and read aloud the sentence(s) around each word. Ask students to do scrambled words and the matching exercise in pairs then go through answers as a class. For the scrambled spelling task, get four pairs to come up to the board and write the words for extra practice with the other student reading out the clue. For the matching task, prompt students to give full sentences: “I matched ___ with ___ because ___.” Creative Writing In this question, the student will be required to write a five to eight sentence paragraph on a question related to the topic. Before starting, ask students write down 3 key ideas they are going to include in their piece. Ask students for ideas to share around the class to help those struggling. Pro writing expectations: 5–8 sentences At least 2 facts or details from the passage At least 2 vocabulary words from the previous page Students read their paragraphs while classmates listen for facts and vocabulary words. Extension Activities This page is optional for fast finishers or to take home. There are several activities, each one requiring a different skill. Do some, do none, do all, completely optional - but you will feel reassured knowing every possibility is planned for. Includes summary writting question and additional facts. Answer Key There are answers for the multiple-choice questions, written response questions have sample answers, vocabulary answers and if there is a summary question then a sample summary will be provided as well. Lesson Plan Included Customized lesson plan for this lesson is included. Lesson Snapshot Title: Hovercraft Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science / Engineering (transportation) Primary Topic: How hovercraft ride on air and where they’re used Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how a hovercraft rides on a “cushion of air trapped underneath,” instead of sitting in water. Describes why the air cushion reduces rubbing so the craft can slide over water, sand, or flat grass. Gives a brief invention history (an 1870s patented idea, then a smarter 1950s improvement to stop air leaking). Shows how design changes improved performance, including the flexible “skirt” for obstacles and choppy water. Connects hovercraft to real-world uses today (ferries, rescue missions, military landings, racing/recreation) and notes challenges like wind and waves. Learning Goals Students will describe how a hovercraft is like a boat, a small airplane, and a moving fan. Students will explain how an air cushion helps a hovercraft slide with very little rubbing. Students will describe how Christopher Cockerell improved hovercraft by reducing air leaking in the 1950s. Students will identify the SR.N1 and tell what happened when it was shown to the public on June 11, 1959. Students will explain how the flexible “skirt” helped hovercraft handle obstacles and choppy water. Students will list at least two places or jobs hovercraft can do today, using text evidence. Key Vocabulary From the Text patented — legally protected an invention idea. pressure — pushing force of trapped air underneath. flexible — able to bend without breaking. obstacles — things in the way that block movement. ferries — boats that carry people across a route.

3rd Grade Math Review Game
, Grade 3, Activities, Games
This is a 3rd Grade Math Review Game. The possibilities for use of these cards are endless! Rather than give instructions for a single game to play, I thought it would benefit you more if I gave you ideas for how you might use them in your own classroom. We all know that no two classrooms are created equal and I want you to feel the FREEDOM that comes with this set of cards… Brainstorm #1: This is How I use these cards The whole-class format. For one week (usually 4 days) I choose 20 questions per day. I number them and hang them around the room. Each student gets a work mat (included in this pack) on which to solve problems and write answers. Students are allowed 2 minutes at each station (maybe 3 depending on the questions). When all students have reached every station, we go through the problems as a class, discuss possible misunderstandings, and they keep a tally of how many they got correct (for their eyes only). At the end of the week, the students tally up how many questions they got correct so they can bask in their awesomeness. I take the tallies so I can see how they’ve done and reteach what I feel needs some extra attention before the end of school. Brainstorm #2 The classic “Jeopardy” format. Put these cards in an array on the board, separate the kids into groups, each group gets a question, one point for a correct answer… Brainstorm #3 The partner quiz format. Put kids in partners, give them each a stack of cards, they ask each other one question at a time. Whoever gets more answers correct is the winner. Brainstorm #4 Use throughout the year format. Use the cards as a review at the end of each domain. They’re color-coded based on the domain, making it easy to fish out what you need at any given time of the year! Brainstorm #5 Quick thinking problems. Use as students are coming in, as tickets out the door, or during self starters or morning work. Just choose a problem and post it on the board. The word problems are particularly nice for self starters. Brainstorm #6 Make lots of copies in all your spare time (just a little joke, there), laminate them, and put them on key-rings for early finishers to use for practice.

To avoid excessive printing and laminating, the Playing Squares could be replaced with other manipulatives such as buttons or counters. Alternatively, students could mark squares off on their Bingo Boards with dry erase markers and then simply clean the boards again after playing (provided that you have laminated the boards) How to Play: Each student needs a Bingo Board and at least 7 Playing Squares (or other manipulatives or a dry erase marker) Shuffle the Calling Cards and place them in a pile. Draw a Calling Card and call out and/or display the contents of the card. Each student looks on their Bingo Board for a block that matches the Calling Card. If they find one, they cover that block with a Playing Square. Draw a new Calling Card and repeat the process. The game continues until somebody wins. To win, a student must shout out “BINGO!” when they have covered three blocks in a row (horizontally, vertically or diagonally). If the Calling Cards run out before anybody wins, simply shuffle them again and continue playing. Please note: Sometimes there may be more than one block on the Bingo Board that matches the Calling Card. The student may only cover one block on a turn. Once that turn is over, the Playing Square may not be moved to cover a different block. This resource includes 5 different bingo board, in colour as well as black and white.

This A Journey Through South Africa (level s) guided reading book with lesson plan includes: Guided Reading Color Label (front cover x1) This is a quick way to match the book’s demands to what students can generally handle.. The overall goal is to use the level/color to pick books for several smaller groups. To qualify for a certain level, a student is expected to read a book from that level with about 90–94% accuracy. If a student is consistently accurate and understands, move up a level. If the student is struggling at that level, drop down and add more support. Each student will improve at completely different rates, but it is generally one of the best ways to check progress across the class. DOWNLOAD THE CATALOG TO VIEW ALL GUIDED READING BOOKS AVAILABLE (SORTED LEVELS A-Z) Pre-Reading Question (x1) Teacher asks the prompt aloud, can be while showing the cover or first page. Students share what they already know, or make educated guesses from the cover. Prompt them to use the target vocabulary. Write some of their responses on the board to look back at during the reading. Vocabulary Words (x5) Introduce the five words, best doing it one at a time. Start by saying it, while students repeat and then see if anyone knows what it means before reading further. Read through the meaning and try to briefly connect each word to a picture or gesture so it’s meaningful. Ask students to flip through the book pages and point to where they see each of the vocabulary words. While reading the book pause upon coming across one of the vocab words or read the sentence twice to make sure students understand the word has appeared. Optional: Ask students to raise hands whenever they see/hear one of the new words. Guided Reading Pages (x10) Check the book snapshot (below) for: primary topic - do you need to prep extra reading or intro materials on this? what is taught best - decide on 1-2 bullets to focus on, use the prompt or words provided here for best results. learning goals - what you are checking for students to be able to do after the session, elicit answers using prompts or words provided. key vocabulary (see section above). questions overview - so you know what is coming up and if you need to prep extra materials to assist understanding. Run the lesson You may have already looked at a few of the pages together, but you can show them some of the pictures again first to set meaning. Depending on how much time you have and how familiar your students are with guided reading class, you may want to read the book aloud first with the group first. Students whisper or partner read, while you listen in. If time, do it as a group, one student reading a page each. Use the guided page’s prompts to coach: “Check the picture / does it make sense?” “Point under the words / try the first sound” “Reread the sentence smoothly”. Try to focus more on one student per session (rotating every time), so you can work out if they are ready to move up or need to move down a level. Comprehension Questions (back cover x3) This is your way to check that students didn’t just say the words, but actually understood the text. First, let students answer by pointing to the page/picture and saying a short sentence. After any answer, follow with: “Show me where you found that in the text.” In bigger groups, have partners answer first (10–20 seconds), then call on 2–3 students to share. Differentiation tips: Emerging speakers/struggling readers: oral + pointing On-level: oral in a full sentence Higher: one written sentence or draw + label Book Snapshot Title: A Journey Through South Africa Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Social Studies (Geography/Culture/History) Primary Topic: South Africa’s geography, wildlife, history, and cultural life Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): S What This Book Teaches Best Country overview and civics detail: South Africa’s location at Africa’s southernmost tip and its unusual system of three capital cities (Pretoria, Cape Town, Bloemfontein). Landforms and unique plant life: Table Mountain as a major landmark and part of a national park with many plant species found nowhere else. Habitats, wildlife, and conservation: Coastal habitats (including African penguins) and inland grasslands/savannas connected to the “Big Five” and protection of animals and environments. Modern cities and historical change: Johannesburg’s growth after gold discovery and South Africa’s journey from apartheid toward equality and democracy through Nelson Mandela’s leadership. Culture and identity through arts and community life: Traditions, music, and dance (Zulu and Xhosa) plus artistic expression like Ndebele painting and beadwork with special meanings. Learning Goals Students will identify South Africa’s three capital cities and explain each city’s role as described in the text. Students will describe two natural features or habitats in South Africa (for example, Table Mountain or the coastline) using details from the text. Students will explain how the text describes South Africa’s coastline and name the oceans it includes. Students will describe the inland grasslands and savannas and identify animals included in the text’s “Big Five.” Students will explain what apartheid was and describe how the text says South Africa moved toward equality and democracy. Students will describe at least two examples of South African culture or identity from the text (music/dance, art/beadwork, sports, or national symbols). Key Vocabulary From the Text southernmost — farthest to the south. administrative — related to running a government or system. savannas — wide grassy areas with some trees. apartheid — unfair system that separated people by race. resilience — strength to recover and keep going. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: What do you think you will learn about South Africa’s people, places, and animals? Comprehension questions: What are the three capital cities of South Africa named in the text? Comprehension questions: Which two oceans does the text say border South Africa’s coastline? Comprehension questions: What is the name of the system that separated people by race in South Africa? Printing Tips 1. Best Printing Method (Recommended) “Booklet” Printing (Best if Available) If your printer or PDF viewer supports Booklet Printing , use this. Settings to use: Print mode: Booklet Paper size: Letter or A4 (either works) Orientation: Landscape Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Scaling: Fit to printable area Booklet subset: First test: Front sides only Then: Back sides only This will automatically: Pair pages correctly Put the cover on the outside Align everything for folding After printing, fold in half and staple along the spine . 2. If “Booklet” Printing Is NOT Available You can still print this correctly with manual duplex printing . Step-by-step: Open the PDF. Choose Print . Set: Orientation: Landscape Pages per sheet: 1 Print on both sides: Yes Flip on: Short edge Print all pages . Because each PDF page already contains two facing book pages, the result will still fold cleanly into a book. Thousands of Cored Education products are included with your TeachSimple membership.
