Reading and Writing Workshop Lesson Plan
Rationale: This lesson is being taught for the unit of different book
genres and learning how to write fairytale stories. The students have
already been learning about different story genres, and the next genre
is fairytales.
Standards:
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.5- Explain major differences between books
that tell stories and books that give information, drawing on a wide
reading of arrange of texts types.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.1.3- Write narratives in which they recount two
or more appropriately sequenced events, include some details
regarding what happened, use temporal words to signal event order,
and provide some sense of closure.
Objective:
Demonstrate understanding of fairytales by responding to
questions
Follow the writing process to create a fairytale story
Produce written work to show evidence of knowledge of fairytale
stories
Read and listen to fairytale stories as examples to increase
knowledge of fairytale story characteristics
Procedures:
-Anticipatory Set: The teacher would start off by reminding the
students that they have been learning about different book genres.
Then the teacher will ask the students Remember that book we read
yesterday? then the teacher will say, Did anyone notice that this
was a new genre of books that we are learning about? The teacher
will then ask the students to raise their hand if they know what new
genre we are starting based off the book we read the day before. The
teacher will then pick a student to answer her question. The teacher
will then give examples of the other genres that they have been
learning about and discuss the differences between fairy tale books
and other genres of books that they have been learning about.
-Mentor: The teacher will hold up the book and point out different
things throughout the book that prove that this book is part of the
fairytale genre. For example, stories include fantasy, make believe, and
often magic, stories often begin Once upon a time . . . or Long, long
ago . . . , good conquers evil, etc.
-Guided Practice: The teacher will assign partner-reading groups
according to reading levels. Then the teacher will independently go
around to each student group while they are reading their fairly tale
book from the classroom library and ask them why they think this book
can be considered a fairy tale. I will keep track on a chart to make sure
each student understands what elements are needed to make a book a

fairytale.
-Independent Application- After every group is done reading their book,
I will have students individually come up with their own fairy tale story
and write it in their writing journal. These stories need to include
characteristics of a fairy tale that we previously discussed.
Materials:
Fairly Tale book

Classroom library fairytale books
Students journals
Pencil
Assessments: Teacher would use a writing rubric to assess the

students writing skills. The teacher will check to make sure that in the
students fairly tale stories that they are writing they are including the
different elements of a fairy tale story in their own. This is help the
teacher recognize if her students are understanding the unique
concepts of fairy tale stories compared to other genre of books they
have been previously learning about.
Differentiation: For students who have a learning disability in reading
I could have the book they are reading with their partner on audio. For
students who dont work best in pairs and may have a behavioral
problem, I can take them aside and read with them one on one. For
students who may have a vision impairment I van give them fairy tale
books that have enlarged texts. Finally if there is a student who has
hearing difficulties I can have the sit in the front of the carpet or
classroom, or use a mini microphone when having class discussion.
Future Connections: This lesson will allow students to have more
practice in writing creatively pieces in their journals. For the future, the
teacher will be able to refer back to different characteristics of fairytale
stories and compare them to the different genres of books that they
will continue to learn about in the future.
