I will connect the beginning of the lesson to what students already know by asking them basic
questions on the lesson and take notes on what they already know and what we need to work on.

Describe each step of the lesson: Ask students if they know what the 5 Ws are, write them on
the board if they come up with the correct answer, and add the ones they didn’t come up
with on the board. Give examples of each from the stories that we have recently read in the
class. Give students an assignment and once completed, test or give them an exit slip.
