This Guided Reading Book - Swimming (Level N) 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.

Glory Road (2006): Complete Movie Guide
P.E. & Health, ELA, Sports, Physical Education, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, Activities
"Glory Road" is a sports drama film based on the true story of the 1965-66 Texas Western College basketball team, which made history by becoming the first team with an all-Black starting lineup to win the NCAA national championship. The movie follows coach Don Haskins, played by Josh Lucas, as he recruits talented but overlooked Black players from across the country to join his team. The players face discrimination and racism both on and off the court, but with Haskins' guidance and leadership, they learn to work together and overcome the odds. The team's success attracts national attention, and they face intense pressure and scrutiny as they compete in the NCAA tournament. The climactic championship game against the heavily favored University of Kentucky becomes a watershed moment in the history of college basketball and a symbol of progress in the struggle for civil rights. The movie was praised for its inspiring message of perseverance and unity in the face of adversity, as well as its depiction of the challenges and sacrifices made by athletes and activists fighting for racial equality. This 16-question movie guide will help keep the students during the movie! Teacher created and student approved! Enjoy! Ready to use - no prep! The video is available on iTuens and Amazon Prime. Topics involved in this video: Jim Crow Laws, segregation, racism
