In today's initial lesson, students will be introduced to key vocabulary words appearing in the text "The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree." Students will then listen to a read aloud of the text with strategic pauses to recognize vocabulary and key moments in the story. In Days 2-4, students will build on this initial reading to answer text-dependent questions that scaffold toward a culminating task on Day 5.
This series of close reading lesson plans was created by a member of the 2015 Delaware Dream Team.
