Description
If your students struggle with notetaking and research, then try this complete reading unit on informational nonfiction text. Your students will be guided on notetaking and research after selecting a topic. With lesson plans, mini lessons, activities, text sets for each topic, and research options, you will have everything you need for a cohesive unit. Everything is linked and ready to go with print options for the lessons.
This month-long unit includes:
✅ Main slideshow that is linked with lessons, activities, and due dates
✅Lesson Plans - detailed for each day with CCSS; editable for your teaching needs
✅ 7 mini lessons, each with its own activity
-Nonfiction Text Structures and Features
-Intro to Note Taking
-Choosing Your Topic
-Determining Central Ideas
-Summarizing
-Synthesizing Ideas
-Growing Your Own Ideas
✅ 5 research topics for students to choose from:
-Animal Rights
-Bullying
-Child Labor
-Pollution
-Girls' Education
✅Each research topic has a text set for students to do their research
✅Student Presentation slideshow - so kids can share what they've learned
Here is what I recommend for a smooth, organized unit:
⭐️After making any changes that you'd like in the editable portions, assign this entire slideshow to your students' Google Classroom or other digital platform.
⭐️Use the step-by-step lesson plans so you know exactly what to do on each day.
⭐️Teach each mini lesson. Keep it brief (10-15 minutes) so that kids can get to work.
⭐️ When you get to the mini lesson on 'Choosing Your Topic", kids will choose one of the 5 topics listed (Animal Rights. Bullying, Child Labor, Pollution, Girls' Education). I highly recommend letting kids select both their topic and group.
⭐️I have left the directions and text choices editable in case you decide to do something different. Also, the links provided were active at the time this product is made. If you get a 'dead link", simply replace or delete.
⭐️Please read this carefully: I highly recommend that you read the articles to be sure they are appropriate for your students. I also recommend adding articles from any platforms/subscriptions that your school might use (Newsela, Brainpop, Scholastic, etc.)
⭐A student presentation slideshow, complete with directions, is also included. This way, kids can share what they've learned.
Any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]
I would truly appreciate your feedback with a rating and review. It helps me when making future products.
