Day 1 Lesson Plan

Hi CM's!  If you want an idea for what to do the first day or to of school, check out this Day 1 Lesson Plan.  We will be reading a book titled More Than Anything Else that is about a black boy post-slavery that wants to learn how to read.  The idea of this lesson plan is three-fold...
    1. to get started with hitting some standards and textual analysis (analyzing character actions,  
        thoughts, words, and feelings)
    2. to connect with their summer reading goal, and
    3. to hit on some class values that will be foundational for our class culture (perseverance and
        curiosity)

Typically, Day 1 I would do 90% procedures, rules, and culture building...but because of the time constraint for the summer...we will be diving right in, so I chose this read aloud for multiple purposes.  Even if you don't use the lesson plan...check out the ANCHOR CHART (charts that anchor content in a visual way for students) at the bottom of the plan.  This type of chart is relevant and useful for multiple lessons throughout the summer AND will be a visual support specifically for our English Language Learners at Cole.

Enjoy!
