Are you ready to save time planning and prepping your reading mini lessons for your traditional literature unit? This set of engaging reading mini lessons gives you 8 lesson sets that will help your students learn all about traditional literature. With this one resource, you’ll get scripted lesson plans, anchor charts, mini graphic organizers, and google slides to help you teach your whole group reading mini lessons on traditional literature.

These lessons are low-prep and include everything you need to teach a quick yet effective reading mini-lesson related to traditional literature. The scripted lesson plans will save you time planning and give you the language needed to feel confident teaching your reading lessons, and the companion Google Slides help make the lesson engaging and interactive for your students.

This resource will save you tons of time and give you an easy-to-follow system for your whole group poetry lessons.

HERE’S WHAT YOU GET:

• 8 Scripted Teacher Lesson Plans To Teach Using Text Evidence
• 14 Reading Anchor Charts
• 8 Mini Graphic Organizers
• 8 Google Slide Sets – One For Each Lesson*

*Each lesson includes a set of companion slides to help you introduce and teach each lesson objective.

LET’S BREAK DOWN EACH ELEMENT: 

• Scripted Teacher Lesson Plans: You can cross lesson planning off your list with this resource. Each lesson plan includes the following sections: Introduce & Connect, Lesson Objective, Teach/Model, Engage with Turn & Talk, and Closure. This simple framework will make it easy to teach a quick reading lesson in 15 minutes or less that is jam-packed with meaningful content.
• Anchor Charts: Each lesson includes a printable anchor chart. You can use this anchor chart to help you teach your lesson if you don’t want to use the slides, or you can display it after your lesson as a reference tool. You can also give students a copy of the anchor chart, and they can place it in their reading binder, notebook, or folder to refer back to after the lesson.
• Mini Graphic Organizer: Each lesson comes with a half-page graphic organizer. This can be given to students as an independent practice assignment after your lesson and can be paired with any text or passage.
• Google Slide Set For Each Lesson: Each lesson includes four slides to help you teach the objective for the lesson. You’ll get a teaching slide that has all the key information students need to understand the objective. You’ll also get an example slide. The example slide is either a short text, a chart, a visual, or some other tool that will help you explain and model the concept to your students. You also get a turn-and-talk slide with two discussion questions to use as a way to engage students in your lesson. The final slide is a slide to help you close your lesson.
