Lesson:
Begin the lesson with by reading a great picture book called
Millions of Cats by Wanda Gag. Discuss how this book is another great
example of sentence fluency. The
author’s use of rhyme and repetition create a musical flow or rhythm that is
pleasurable for the reader. Talk about
certain patterns in rhyme; connect this to previous discussions about pattern
recognition in mathematics.
I do:
1.
I discuss and review what sentence fluency is
indicating how sentences are smooth, varying in length and style, have both a
subject and action, sound like music and rhyme
2.
I will show a video of sentence fluency
discussion and how it impacts writing
3.
I will explain to the class that we are creating
a short video of each student focusing
on sentence fluency as our target trait and to copy the style of Wanda Gag important information about the life cycle of
the loggerhead turtle
4.
I will indicate that they are to create as much
content of the e-book using their PT
5.

You do:
1.
Students are to use their PT to create a script
and make a short film incorporating the writing style of the author Wanda Gag,
found in the story Millions of Cats
2.
Students will create a short movie clip in the
format of a commercial, summary, or an advertisement, with examples of sentence
fluency included in the dialogue
3.
Students may wish to create their own movie idea
story (see teacher)
4.
Students are asked to search for a good picture
they are able to download to their PT, they can manipulate the picture or not
5.
Students will video record themselves (or one
another) saying their story
6.
Students are asked to help co-create better
sentences as well as new sentences about their movie
7.
Students will collaborate together and
communicate any problems that they encounter sharing their solutions as well as
their digital stories

Activities can be scaffolded to meet the
individual needs
·
Use co-writer
to assist students with writing their sentences if they are having problems spelling the
