    Comments:
    Objective: SWBAT finding key details in the story, of How maps help and complete a graphic organizer.

    Engagement Motivator-

    You asked the children if they listened to this book on Friday. You handed out copies of How maps help. You reviewed the
    motivator of tokens and the elephant. You asked the students to review what the story was about. Students responded with
    answers about finding things on maps. You also asked what are the key details? Students responded when the elephant was
    passed around.

    Exploration Introduction of new work

    Turn to the first page and find some site words and read them to me. Students pointed to the words and read them. You
    showed the students new words that showed up more than once.

    Explanation Modeling

    You read the first page. Students followed along by pointing to the words. You then handed out an organizer that the children
    completed as they went through the book. What is the main topic? You modeled how maps help us on the organizer.
    Suggestion -to use a different color for each spot of the organizer or a white board for the students to easily see.
    The students reviewed the second page for their site words. You said, Fingers on the first word. This time the students read
    the passage. As the student read you modeled finger pointing in the book. You re-read the passage. You asked the students
    questions about this passage. How are the maps helping you? Students responded, where they live. You then asked how
    many places do the deer live? Students responded and completed their worksheet. You modeled the worksheet.
    Turn the page (6 & 7) You asked if they new any site words on this page. Students responded and you confirmed.
    You asked each student which words they knew. The students read this page and you modeled for them to follow along.
    You re-read the passage and asked the student to look at the map and asked what this map shows. You answered the question.
    Trails. You asked the student what the main idea was on that page. Rivers- The students continued to complete their
    organizer.
    You again modeled how to complete the organizer.

    Turn the page students continued with the same routine.


    Last page. What is the family looking for? Students answered parking lot. Students then completed the last detail of the
    organizer. They help us find our way.

    Extension Independent work

    Make sure you give the students the opportunity to show they understand the objective through independent work. I
    understand the special circumstances you are facing, however, it is important to include this stage in a solid lesson.


    Evaluation assessment
    You asked all of the student to explain verbally, the important details of the story by using their graphic organizer.

    Suggestion: The lesson slowed down when the students wrote the details on their organizer. You kept the
    answers short and to the point which was good. You may have wanted to have the answers on paper and
    have the students pick and then cut and paste the answer.
