Reading Strategies for Social Studies:
The Tale of kenji - a lesson plan incorporating vocabulary
This particular lesson plan is designed to focus on reading comprehension and ways to engage students with texts. In addition to the video below that introduces part of the unit of study and included vocabulary, I have also included a download link that outlines the specific textbook chapter, pre- and post-reading strategies and graphic organizers, and a series of activities designed to help students learn the information included in the selected reading. Rubrics and a sample newsletter to parents outlining the week-long lesson are also included in the document.
