This trains 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. 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: Trains Genre: Nonfiction (informational text) Subject: Science (Technology & Engineering) Primary Topic: How rails and train power changed over time Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how smooth rails reduce “rubbing,” helping heavy loads move more easily than wagons on muddy roads. Uses a real historical example (the Stockton and Darlington Railway opening in 1825) to show steam trains carrying coal and people. Describes how a steam locomotive works (water becomes steam, steam pushes pistons, pistons help turn wheels). Compares train power types—steam, diesel (engine spins a generator), and electric (overhead wire or third rail). Shows how high-speed rail was designed for speed (special tracks, trains shaped to slice through wind), including Japan’s Tōkaidō Shinkansen (1964) “bullet train.” QA check (support pages vs. passage): The pre-reading trivia uses the word “friction,” but the main passage describes the idea as “rubbing.” Other questions and vocabulary (boiler, pistons, diesel, generator, third rail, high-speed rail) match the passage. Learning Goals Students will explain why smooth rails helped heavy loads move with less rubbing. Students will identify what happened in 1825 with the Stockton and Darlington Railway. Students will describe how steam in a boiler can help power wheel movement using pistons. Students will compare steam, diesel, and electric explanations of how trains get power in the text. Students will describe how train design and tracks can increase speed, using details about high-speed rail. Key Vocabulary From the Text locomotive — the front engine that pulls the train cars. boiler — the part where water is heated to make steam. pistons — parts steam pushes to help turn the wheels. generator — a machine that makes electricity for the train. soot — black dirty particles in the air from smoke.

SEL Boom Deck-Flower, Weed and Cactus Friendship Behaviors & Handout
Special Resources, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Social Skills, Special Education Needs (SEN), Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, Activities
In this SEL Boom Deck, students will learn about flower (healthy), weed (bothersome) and cactus (unhealthy) friendship behaviors. It is important for students to learn some of the behaviors that are bothersome and frustrating and to learn that they do need to address these sooner rather than later. Just like a weed ignored or not wanting to be dealt with, it can get worse and impact the friendship in a negative way. Some examples of flower (healthy) behaviors are; letting your friends have other friends, being there to help, standing up for them (being an upstander), and many more. Some of the weed (bothersome) examples are; bragging, copying a friend, not paying a friend back for borrowing money, and more. Some examples of cactus (unhealthy) behaviors are; being mad if something good happens to a friend, putting a friend down, gossiping, not letting a friend join their other friends, and many more. There are 24 task playing cards and 5 instructional cards so this can be played as a whole classroom lesson, a small group lesson, with partners or assigned to individuals to do as homework. There is a handout that matches the concepts for students to fill out to remember the different friendship behaviors and a question about what they can do if there friend is exhibiting either a weed or cactus type friendship behavior. This is a Boom Deck that is great for 3rd grade, 4th grade, 5th grade, and sixth grade. If there are strong readers or the classroom teacher or school counselor can read each slide, this could be something 2nd grader also do. You know your students best and can judge whether the examples are relevant to your students. Please review the Boom Deck Terms Of Use as because of AI, it does not allow me to post them here due to it is the same verbiage as each product.
