Introduction/Hook Review with the students about the

different parts a fiction book
(setting, characters, theme), and
have the students answer my
questions orally

Instructional Activities 1. Each student will receive a Parts

of a Book worksheet to use
throughout the lesson
2. Introduce the story to them and
ask the students to create their
own predictions on what they
think will happen (tell the class
about predictions orally).
3. Make sure that all of the students
have put down their pencils and
are listening carefully to the story
4. Read Words Matters to the
students and pause frequently to
recap what just happened in the
story.
5. Once we are done reading the
book, we will go through the
worksheet and answer the
questions as a class.
 6. Ask students who have their
hands raised to answer the
question
7. Once the right answer has been
stated, I will write it in front of
them on the white board so they
can all read it.

Accommodations The book will have to be read slowly

because some students have a hard
time comprehending the information
if the book is read too fast. Some
students will need the questions to
be repeated multiple times so they
can all understand the questions
clearly.

Closure Activity Once the students have finished

filling out their worksheets, they will
review once again about the parts of
a fiction story. Then they will write at
the bottom of the paper the
definitions of the parts of the story.
