lesson plan for "Kennerly School kids show "respect"
with disaster fund drive"

sixth grade reading level
Possible hard
words: Proper names: Lindbergh School District, Samantha Harris,
Friendship Circle, Frank Albenesius, Matt LaGrotta, Bria Williams,
Beacon of Character, Samantha and Nicholas Harris
Other words: disaster, patriotic, demonstrate, argument, stenciled,

BEFORE READING:
Suggest that the young reader read all the words from the
list of possible hard words. Provide help with the words as
needed. If no more than three are missed, ask him or her to
read the article silently. If four to six words are missed,
ask him or her to read the article aloud. If seven or more
are missed, volunteer to read the article aloud to him or
her. Indicate that questions will follow the reading in all
three cases.
DURING READING:
For the child reading silently, offer to help with any words
if asked. For the child reading aloud, supply words fairly
promptly in order to keep the reading fluent. If you read
aloud, model fluent and expressive oral reading.
AFTER READING:
Use questions such as these to check understanding and stimulate
a discussion.
- What happens
each month in the character education program?
- How does the
Friendship Circle work?
- What is the
'Beacon of Character?"
- Does your
school have a similar program? Do you think it is a good
idea to have such programs? Why or why not?
