EDCC 351 Dr. Keyes
I choose to do my unit plan on a literacy unit using the book The Mitten by Jan Brett. I choose this topic because it was a way to encourage literacy while teaching other concepts through the story. I also felt that this way of teaching will help students to see that learning is everywhere and encourage them to learn through everyday experiences. This unit plan is designed for students in grade k through 1.
Day 1: Shared Reading
I) Introduction: a) Get student’s attention: On the board in front of the class I will have posted a huge mitten cut from butcher paper. b) The lesson for today will be reading the book The Mitten. We will all be practicing are reading and comprehension skills. c) The purpose of today’s lesson will be to practice reading and comprehension skills.
II) Objective:
What: The big book “The Mitten” will be read to the students and we will discuss the book.
How: Students will listen to the teacher while she reads the book, following along, looking at pictures and participating in the discussion about the story.
III) Instruction:
Boys and Girls the story The Mitten by Jan Brett is a favorite winter story for young children. We will be reading this book this week and doing different activities around it. Today I am going to read the book to you and then we will discuss it. (After reading the story I will ask questions such as :) What part of the book could really happen? What makes the book interesting? Where does this story happen? What would be another good title for this story?
IV) Guided Practice:
The group discussion will give students the opportunity to discuss and share what they learned from the story. Have students draw or color on a piece of paper their favorite animal or part of the story.
V) Closure:
At the end of the day go over the book again allowing the children to tell
