Guided Reading Lesson Plan & Activities for Grade 7
Reading, ELA, Grade 7, Activities, Lesson Plans, Teacher Tools
Seventh graders can concentrate better on enhancing the skills they started to cultivate in 6th grade without the extra pressure of adapting to the new middle school setting. By 7th grade, it is anticipated that students have adjusted to middle school life and are thus expected to operate more autonomously while managing their time and schedules with diminished (but still some) support. Typically, in 7th grade, students expand upon the abilities they acquired in 6th grade by engaging with more intricate and lengthy texts and essays in both writing and reading. This effort will equip them for 8th grade, where they will solidify and enhance their skills, ultimately positioning them for success in high school. In 7th grade, learners enhance their skills in analyzing the texts they read and supporting their analysis with evidence from the text. In particular, 7th grade students focus on scrutinizing texts more thoroughly and utilizing details from the text to formulate ideas, conduct analysis, and draw inferences. This ebook contains a comprehensive 90-minute lesson plan, featuring activities and suggested answers.

Scientist Richard Dawkins - Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Version (PDF & H5P) Richard Dawkins – Genes, Evolution, and the “Selfish Gene” Fact Sheet, Quiz & Interactive Exercises (PDF + H5P) 🧬🐒 This 45-minute resource introduces students in grades 9–12 to Richard Dawkins – an evolutionary biologist best known for popularizing the idea of the “selfish gene.” By the time students reach upper secondary levels, they usually have a solid understanding of natural selection. Dawkins' perspective invites them to look one level deeper: not just at organisms competing for survival, but at genes as the driving force behind evolution . His work sparked a lot of discussion – not only in science, but also in philosophy and ethics. To help students engage with these more abstract ideas, I’ve put together a structured and accessible lesson. It includes a short informational text, a fact sheet, quiz questions with answers, and a creative partner task. The materials are available in color and black-and-white versions, plus there’s a digital H5P version for interactive use. What’s included: A student-friendly overview of Richard Dawkins and the core ideas of The Selfish Gene A fact sheet to help students organize key concepts Quiz questions with solutions for quick comprehension checks A partner task where students create and exchange questions Available as printable PDF and interactive H5P version 💻 Answer key included ✅ I’ve used this resource in upper-level biology and ethics courses – especially when discussing how scientific ideas evolve and how they influence thinking beyond the lab. The material also opens up interesting conversations about the role of science communication. Works well for individual tasks, pair work, or short discussion-based projects. 🚀 Download now and bring the legacy of Richard Dawkins into your biology lessons today! 📍 Best wishes, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨
