A. Summary of the Lesson Plan This lesson introduces identifying and describing characters in a story. B. Student Population Grade level -1st Skill level on-level and below-level Grouping - small group direct instruction C. Materials White board, marker, eraser Story, The Fox and The Stork Pupil Edition pg. 172 Puppets Assessment forms, pencils
D. Objectives Common Core State Standard RL.1.7-Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events. Learning Targets Knowledge Targets Students must know authors use illustrations to describe and identify characters, setting, and events. Students must know that authors use details to describe and identify characters, setting, and events. Students must know that a character is a person or creature in a story. Reasoning Targets Students must use illustrations in a story to identify and describe the characters. Students must use details in a story to identify and describe the characters.
E. Procedure 1. Remind students that the characters are the people or animals that a story is about. The story tells what the characters say and do, which helps us figure out what the characters are like. 2. Write the following sentence on the board and have a volunteer read it aloud: Duck made coats for all his friends.

3. Model how to determine who the character is by asking Who made the coats? The answer is Duck so Duck must be the character. Explain that Duck made coats for all of his friends, which is a nice thing to do, therefore Duck must be a good friend. 4. Read the story The Fox and The Stork. 5. Read aloud Pupil Edition page 172 and have the children name the two characters in this story. Show them the puppets and act out a small part of the book. 6. Students reread the book The Fox and The Stork paying close attention to what the two characters are like. Tell them they will get a chance to act out part of the story using the puppets. 7. Encourage children to tell what each character is like and name some things that each character does in the story. 8. Record their responses on the board and read the list aloud. 9. Choose one student to use the fox puppet and one student to use the stork puppet. 10. Have the children with the puppets act out one of the things the character does in the story. Give each student a turn to use a puppet. F. Assessment Give the student a copy of the assessment form. Read each sentence on the assessment form aloud to the children. The students should identify and circle the character in each sentence. The students will write one thing they know about the character from reading the sentence. There is no assessment rubric for this assignment. Spot check the assessment sheet for the character circled and what they know about the character written on the blank line. By circling the character in the sentences it will be clear if the student knows how to identify the character. By looking at what the student has written down it will be clear if the student can describe the character. G. Reflection Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest to teach? I think teaching students to identify the character in a story will be the easiest part of this lesson because they have prior knowledge about people and animals. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the most challenging to teach? I think teaching students to describe the character will be the most challenging to teach because it requires a higher level of thinking and reasoning to make inferences about a character based on their actions and what they say. What lesson or concept should be taught prior to this lesson? Students should know that the characters are the people or animals that a story is about. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?

During future read-alouds, I will follow up this lesson by asking the students to identify and describe the characters in the story. An extension of this lesson would be for the students to draw a picture of their favorite character from the book and write words that describe what the character looks like, how the character acts, and some of the things the character does in the story.
What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? Reteach- T Ed. Pg. S36 (Same sentences as assessment are used to reteach) Extra Support, p.46 (From Ancillary Resources Copying Masters) English-Language Learners, p. 46 (From Ancillary Resources Copying Masters)
Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I modified the lesson slightly from the way it was written in the T Ed. I added the puppet role-playing to step 5. I added steps 9 and 10, choosing a puppet and acting out the characters actions. I felt the extra hands on role-playing would help the below level students grasp the concept better.
When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? The most difficult part for me was how to keep the students attention and get them interested during the direct instruction lesson. I used the puppets to motivate them to pay attention to what the characters were doing in the story so they would be able to act it out.
