Curriculum Standard: 2b. The student will analyze text in order to identify, understand,
infer, or synthesize information. (DOK 2)
Objectives:
a. The student will distinguish which feelings are relevant to a particular section of text by using context clues embedded in the text.
b. The student will create a vivd paragraph about the topic given to them by the teacher.
c. The student will recognize that powerful words accompanied by adjectives and adverbs will make a paragraph much more interesting.
d. The student will infer how they would feel when presented with a situation like that in those portrayed in the text.
Big Idea: Being able to distinguish and understand feelings in text provides a better mental picture to go along with the words.
Preparation:
1. The teacher will read the book The Babe and I.
2. The teacher will model a Think Aloud while reading the story to help students interpret the feelings present in the text.
3. The teacher will ask students to describe a time when they have had strong feelings about a particular person, place, or thing and do a quick write about those feelings.
3. The teacher will model ways to determine the feelings being portrayed in the book by using the context that goes along with the particular feeling.
Guidance
1. The teacher will provide students with a Think Aloud while reading the book so that they can understand how to determine the feelings.
2. The teacher will model for students how to create a paragraph about how the character feels.
3. The teacher will use student suggestions for how to make the paragraph more visual by incorporating more powerful language and using adverbs and adjectives.
Application
1. The teacher will give students a topic for their paragraph, “How would you feel if you saw your Dad on the street selling apples?”
2. The teacher wil have students create a paragraph that answers this question and uses more vivid details so that the reader will be able to have a mental picture.
Assessment
1. The teacher will assess the students ability to create a paragraph containing powerful words by using a rubric.
2. The teacher will assess that students are correctly distinguishing feelings and inferring feelings that are likely to occur by informal observation of the student's quick write.

Hey Brooke! I really like this lesson plan. I like the way that you are modeling the lesson with a think aloud using the book. I think that it might be a good idea for the students to role play or do some kind of skit. This will allow them to show or express their feelings instead of just writing it on paper. This is a great lesson to use in a real classroom!
