Lesson Description
Students will be gathered on the carpet to review common errors found in previous language EQAO practice. Once
completed, students will be given a handout containing two new short stories from the Language EQAO practice (“The
Potter and the Washerman” and “What is a Sound Wave”). Each student will be given an opportunity to read aloud. After
each article is finished, students will be given a rubric (provided from the EQAO booklet) to review the criteria of how to
achieve a level 4 grade. They will then be given pre-typed answers to the questions pertaining to the stories, in which
they will need to mark what they believe is a level 1-4 answer. Students are allowed to work alone or in pairs at their
desks. After 5 minutes, students will be gathered back to the carpet and a class discussion will begin in order to discuss
what they did for their grading. They will then be sent back to their desks, and will complete the reading comprehension
questions associated with the short stories. Remind students that after marking previous answers, it is expected that all
answers should meet the level 4 criteria of the EQAO standards. Collect all answers at the end of the block.
