Opening (I Do)

An engaging process for lesson introduction that is specifically planned to encourage equitable and purposeful student participation. Describe the instructional process that will be used to introduce the lesson.

TKES 1, 2, 3,4,5, 8,10

INTRODUCTION/CONNECTION: Before or after we tell our class-story and read about it, we can do a comic version of our story using the week’s targeted structures and get in even more repetitions. 

DIRECT INSTRUCTION: As always, I am going to get details from the students to make the story more relevant to them, but because the pictures cannot change, there is more control with a story strip.

When using a story strip to review structures, I follow the same steps as I do when asking an oral story with actors: introduce main character, introduce any secondary characters, set up the problem, attempt to solve the problem, and then solve the problem.
