In this 1st Grade Language Arts lesson, students will engage in an interactive reading experience where they explore the characters, setting, and events of a selected picture book. The lesson begins with students predicting the story's content based on its cover, followed by a read-aloud where they are encouraged to make predictions and answer questions about the text. After the read-aloud, students will complete a graphic organizer to illustrate and label the main character(s), setting, and a key event from the story. They will also fill out a prediction card to express their thoughts on what might happen next. The lesson concludes with students sharing their findings with the class, reinforcing their understanding of essential story elements. Throughout the lesson, assessment will be conducted through observation and collection of the students' work to gauge their comprehension and engagement in reading. Extension activities will encourage independent reading at home, while modifications will support students requiring extra help.
