Those of you that are planning reading this week. I posted my Week 4 Read-Aloud Lesson Plans here, just to give you an idea of how I plan during the school year. Keep in mind that as I plan, I visualize what this will look like in my classroom...thinking through my exact students, what keeps them engaged, etc. I also post-it note my read aloud books as reminders for me about what I'm going to say and when.
As you grow as a teacher, you won't need to script lessons. BUT you still need to think through what you're saying, when you're saying it, how you'll say it, and why you'll say it. Post-it notes, visualizing the lesson, taking bullet-point notes, writing out questions, prepping my anchor charts that include key points, preparing my vocabulary words/wall, and prepping the activities and worksheets that go with the read aloud are all critical in being well-prepared and ready to teach. So I may not write out scripts, but I 100% think through the text enough to internalize what I'm teaching. :)
I hope these plans help you as you plan and tweak your lessons...look for Kagan strategies (like Fan and Pick) and other engagement strategies! Check out the worksheets that I will collect at the end of my lessons too. :)
As always...come ask me questions if you have them!
