ELA SEL themed narrative writing prompt spelling enrichment centers

This one week ELA unit has everything you need,  no prep required.  Just print it,  staple the packet and pass it out.   It comes with a  lesson plan that includes standards at grade level for each page.  Students review a variety of grade level standards,  in addition to the writing prompt which is in response to the reading format.  There’s several opportunities to draw and color in support of their learning. Use this resource for sub plans,  test prep, small groups,  or gifted/enrichment. It Includes an authentic reading passage with grade level text complexity and 7 text embedded vocabulary words. Students practice theme and summary, inferencing, context clues, sentence structure,  grammar, comprehension and narrative or informational writing in a reading response format. There’s even a coloring page for early finishers.

Key Features:

Text based writing response:  Just like you will find on many assessments,  students respond to literature in all constructed responses,  including the writing prompt.

Standards mini lesson:  A quick explanation of the standard is provided in student-friendly language.
5-6 day lesson plan: includes  page numbers and the standard being taught on that day.

Partner work:  several opportunities are offered for partner work.  During the second read,  for example, students read with a partner.  The paragraphs are numbered allowing students to take turns.  Partner work is also included in the venn diagram writing brainstorming activity.  Students share their ideas on the topic with a partner,  they record both their responses as well as those of their partner.  

Center/small group pages:  three center activities are provided that are great for English language learners with grammar  and sentence formation.  A cutting out activity with verbs in various tenses gives students the chance to expand their depth of speaking and writing with practice in using verb tenses. 

Three reads:

• First read is a teacher read-aloud.  The teacher models fluent reading and asks deeper level thinking questions provided with the passages.  This allows for building and exploring background knowledge.  

• The second read is a partner read,  with numbered paragraphs to allow for taking turns. Students support each other in reading multisyllabic words fluently.  

• The third read is independent reading.  After having had opportunities to practice reading students are usually ready to read on their own.  Students annotate and highlight on the third read,  after having pre-read the comprehension questions.
