Instructional Methods
Anticipatory Set
Students have been practicing their fluency when reading independently and with partners. 
Review with students the key elements of fluency: Pace, Phrasing, Expression, and Punctuation. 
Tell the class that they are going to practice their fluency skills with the book Frindle, by Andrew Clements. The Students are familiar with the story line of Frindle because they watched the movie last week.

 3.1 Provide or activate background knowledge
The teacher will have the students explain what the key elements of fluency are, which they have touched on briefly in the previous lesson to activate their knowledge. 

3.2 Highlight critical features, big ideas, and relationships
The teacher will outline the key elements of Fluency and how they play a role in reading. 

3.4 Support memory and transfer
Carrying what they know about fluency and reading, the students will apply these principles to the story Frindle.



6.1 Guide effective goal setting.
 Letting the students know that they are going to take what they are learning about fluency and reading and apply it to reading Frindle.
8.3 Foster collaboration and communication.
Whole group discussions of the elements of fluency to activate and/or provide prior knowledge.



Introduce and Model New Knowledge
Break down the components: Pace, Phrasing, Expression, Punctuation and define them on the SmartBoard. Brainstorm and create a Venn Diagram of what fluent reading and not fluent reading looks like in students reading.


Then, the students will write about these 4 words in their writing journal and express the importance of each one. The students will share with the class and brainstorm the importance of these 4 words in reading.

 2.1  Define vocabulary and symbols
The teacher will define the words “Pace, Phrasing, Expression, and Punctuation”. 


 3.2 Highlight critical features, big ideas, and relationships.
The students will find the relationship that the reading components have to reading fluency.



6.4  Enhance capacity for monitoring progress
The teacher will see and monitor students understanding of "pace, phrasing, expression, and punctuation" by allowing the students to write in their writing journals and sharing examples of their importance with the class. 
 7.1 Increase individual choice and autonomy
Students will each get to come up with their own reason/opinion of the fluency elements. 

 7.2  Enhance relevance, value, and authenticity
The students will share with the class their personal opinion of the importance of the components in correspondence to reading. 


Guided Practice

The students will be reading Chapter One from the book Frindle. Watch the video as a class to get the students familiar with the Chapter before reading. 





Pace:

1) Cold/Hot Reads (A “Cold Read” is when a student reads a passage for the very first time (no practice). A “Hot Read” is when the students are warmed-up and have practiced the passage a few times.)
2) Speed Drills (1 minutes partner drills)



The teacher will read Chapter one of Frindle to the students.

The students will then do a Cold Read of the chapter and read it for the first time to themselves.
They will then practice a Speed Drill with their table partner.
After running through the Speed Drill for the first time, they will read the chapter one more time to themselves and then with a partner at their table.

The students will then return to the Speed Drill document and do 1 minute partner drills. The students will record their progress on their graph.





Phrasing: Practice reading the sentences in phrases not one word at a time.
Who, Did, What, and Where/When/Add-on

Using chapter one, the teacher will model different phrases and how to put them together in a meaningful sequence to make sentences.

The teacher will pass out a "Connect-a-Dot Sentences" worksheet to each student and review and work through it as a class.
Students will then use chapter one to create their own sentences.

1.1  Customize the display of information  
 Teacher will use the elmo to display the Connect-a-Dot Sentences worksheets for the class.

3.3  Guide information processing. 
Using the sentences on the Connect-a-Dot Sentences worksheets provides the students with the knowledge to create their own sentences from the chapter. 

5.3 Provide ways to scaffold practice and perform.

The students will read the chapter and participate in speed drills to practice reading with fluency. The teacher will model an example of the Connect-a-Dot Sentences and then the students will create their own.

6.4: Enhance capacity for monitoring progress

Students will monitor their progress on the graph with their speed drills

6.1  Guide effective goal setting
Students will be reading the chapter to their partner for a minutes and seeing how fast they can read.  They have a goal they can aim to beat and word towards with their speed drills. will know they must also have a topic and concluding sentence appropriate for the topic.

The students will work as a class with the teacher to complete the Connect-a-Dot Sentences worksheets. 

Independent Practice
Expression and Punctuation:
1) The students will read the chapter practicing reading with expression. Instruct the students to look for these qualities when reading: 
  • Changing your voice to match a character
  • Reading like you would speak (and not like a robot!)


  • Moving your voice up and down


Have the students read the chapter to one another focusing on changing their voice for the different characters. This is practicing their fluency, hot read, and expression while reading. 

2) Punctuation:  Students will practice making and reading their own sentences three different ways with their small group table. 
Teacher example: I love french fries.
I love french fries?
I love french fries!. 

The teacher will then have the students practice by making their own sentences. Have the students write three different examples in their writing journals. 
The students will then read the chapter, with expression, to their table partner. Their partner will be paying attention to punctuation as they read. 
  • stopping at periods . . .
  • taking breaths at commas , , ,
  • making your voice go up for question marks ? ? ?
  • showing excitement for exclamation points ! ! !
  • using “quotations” to change voice for characters
After both partners have read the chapter, the students will use punctuation cards with their partner to identity punctuation in the chapter. One student will read the chapter, and when the partner hears a punctuation, they will hold up the appropriate card to show which one was used. (This helps the students be careful readers and careful listener)

1.1 Customize the display of information  
The teacher will use the SmartBoard to write three sentences of different punctuation for the students to easily see. 

3.3   Guide information processing
The teacher will give an example of the different sentences. 

 3.4  Support memory and transfer
Students will use their skills from reading the chapter with expression and the affect of different punctuation to create their own sentences.  
 5.3      Provide ways to scaffold practice and performance
The teachers will model an example of the affect of different punctuation in a sentence. The students will then create their own. 

 5.2      Provide appropriate tools for composition and problem solving
Students will have punctuation cards to use while their partner reads the passage. 

6.1       Guide effective goal setting
Students will practice reading and identifying the use of reading with expression and identifying different punctuation. The students will use their practice to identify what punctuation is being read aloud.
