This video games 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.

This complete 5-Week STEM Unit is the all-in-one solution that you've been searching for! It includes everything you need to take your 3rd, 4th & 5th grade students from the theory of physics to creating their very own projects! This product is NOT just a bunch of worksheets, it is an entire educational experience! The resource contains 3 parts: a theoretical guide for teachers, an interactive student workbook & a complete teacher resource pack. The unit provides students with hands-on experiences as they explore 6 classical simple machines (levers, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges, wheels and axles, screws) by examining real-world case studies such as the pyramids of Giza through modern skyscrapers, & then participating in a series of hands-on, challenging activities. Constructivist approaches promote "productive struggle" within the context of providing students with a true understanding of the concepts in this unit, using low-cost, readily available, recycled materials. No more expensive kits, use real-world, authentic inquiry-based learning that develops a true engineering mindset! What This 38-Page Resource Includes: In-depth explanation of Simple Machines: Each of the 6 Simple Machines is explained to teachers in easy-to-understand language. Helpful historical case studies and concept reinforcement questions are included to aid understanding. Worksheets: 10 challenging worksheets designed for students, allow students to demonstrate an understanding of Simple Machines in real-world contexts. These worksheets include activities such as identifying simple machines in everyday objects, analyzing compound machines, calculating mechanical advantage, and working on a design project similar to a Rube Goldberg. Visuals & Helpful Teacher Tools: Three High Contrast Anchor Charts: Vector illustrations of the 6 Simple Machines, a Class 1 Lever (Mechanical Advantage) and the Engineering Design Cycle (STEM). For use in display and projection. Detailed Answer Key: Complete answer key for all 10 worksheets. Complete Teacher Implementation Guide: The Ultimate Resource Guide - Contains teaching reasoning, recommended 5 week pacing guide, list of readily available recycled materials for use in the "Maker Station" and how to facilitate hands on activities and productive struggles in the classroom, as written by seasoned pros. Simple machines, STEM activities, processes used in the design of mechanical systems (engineering design), the learning of physics, the learning of physics from the perspective of children, third grade, fourth grade, fifth-grade science, hands-on learning, project-based learning (PBL), the use of levers and pulleys, worksheets, STEM units or courses together with lesson plans requiring little or no preparation and low-cost preparation; utilizing mechanical advantages using acceleration. The Reasons Parents/Schools Value: Comprehensive & Ready to Use: This isn't just one thing to do; it is a full 5-week unit plan which includes theory, worksheets, visuals, and a detailed teacher's guide. This prepares the teacher for doing the lesson in dozens of hours less than would normally be required. Cost Effective & Easily Accessible: This unit plan was designed to be completed with items that are readily available to you such as cardboard, bottle caps, or string. There is no need to purchase expensive robotic kits that are specialized. Provides Deeper Conceptual Understanding: When students work through building challenges (e.g., utilizing force) they have a hands-on experience they will remember long after the activity is completed. Encourages Developing an Engineering Mindset: In addition to using the Engineering Design Cycle and creating "productive struggle", there is an emphasis on teaching students how to think like an engineer and to use real-world skills to solve problems, be resilient, implement multiple iterations of their solution, and critically think. Target group analysis : The text has an explicit statement of the target audience ("For students in grades 3-5"), so it's clear that the cognitive level of this audience is in the appropriate range. Because of these two factors, we have identified: 1. Primary audience Members consisting of 3rd through 5th Grade Teachers (from public, private and charter schools). 2. Secondary audience members of Homeschooling Families looking for a complete, structured STEM Curriculum. 3. Tertiary audience members will be STEM/STEAM Coordinators, After School Program Directors and Science Club Leaders or Facilitators.

Egypt The Gift of the Nile: Guided Reading Level R with Lesson Plan

This Egypt: The Gift of the Nile (level r) 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: Egypt: The Gift of the Nile Genre: Nonfiction Subject: Social Studies (Geography/History) Primary Topic: How the Nile shaped ancient and modern Egypt Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): R What This Book Teaches Best How Egypt’s desert environment (Sahara Desert, little rain) made a single water source essential for a thriving civilization. Why the Nile River’s yearly floods mattered, including how receding water left fertile silt for growing food. Major symbols of ancient Egypt and what the text says they were for or represented (Great Pyramid of Giza; Great Sphinx). Key beliefs and systems of ancient Egypt, including pharaohs, the afterlife, hieroglyphics, and mummification. Connections between past and present by describing modern Cairo, the Suez Canal, tourism, and archaeologists’ discoveries. Learning Goals Students will describe Egypt’s location and explain how the Sahara Desert affects the land. Students will explain how Nile floods helped farmers grow food by using the text’s details about silt. Students will identify what the Great Pyramid of Giza was built for and describe one detail about its construction. Students will describe how ancient Egyptians recorded history and managed government using hieroglyphics and scribes. Students will explain why mummification was developed and describe what the text says happened during the process. Students will describe two details that show Egypt is a modern nation today (for example, Cairo and the Suez Canal). Key Vocabulary From the Text receded — moved back after being higher. silt — rich dark soil left by water. monumental — very large and important. hieroglyphics — picture symbols used as a writing system. mummification — preserving a body by drying and wrapping. Discussion Prompts Pre-reading question: How might a river help people live and farm in a desert place? Comprehension questions: What did the Nile River’s floods leave behind when the water receded, and why did that help farmers? Comprehension questions: What does the text say the Great Pyramid of Giza was built for? Comprehension questions: What two details from the text show Egypt is a modern nation today? 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.

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: Darts Genre: Nonfiction (informational text with headings) Subject: Reading (Informational Text) / Math (numbers & scoring context) Primary Topic: History, dartboard design, and how scoring works Estimated Guided Reading Level (A–Z): Q What This Lesson Teaches Best Explains how darts began as indoor throwing at targets in England and became a friendly challenge in taverns and homes. Teaches key dartboard features (20 pie-shaped sections, thin wires, double/triple rings, and a bull’s-eye that can be 50 points). Builds real-world math context by describing common game formats (301 or 501) where points are subtracted each turn. Uses a cause-and-claim structure to discuss uncertainties and evidence (a debated story about why numbers are scrambled; a court case about skill vs luck). Connects materials/technology to sports equipment (sisal fibers that close up; tungsten barrels for a slimmer grip) and modern leagues/championships. Learning Goals Students will summarize how the text describes darts’ early history and where people played. Students will identify key parts of a dartboard in the text and explain what they do for scoring. Students will explain how a 301 or 501 game works in the passage, including what happens each turn. Students will describe why the dartboard numbers might be scrambled and explain what the text says is uncertain about that story. Students will explain what happened in 1908 and how it relates to whether darts is luck or skill. Students will cite details about modern boards and darts (sisal fibers, tungsten barrels, leagues/championships). Key Vocabulary From the Text taverns — places where people gather for food and drink. oche — the throwing line you stand behind. subtracted — taken away from a total number. sisal — strong fibers used to make dartboards. tungsten — a dense metal used for slimmer dart barrels.

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.

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.
