This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with Turkey Trouble by Wendi Silvano. It can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these resources a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop.
Here’s What You’ll Get and Why:
My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about Turkey Troubleusing a variety of comprehension strategies. That’s why I’ve included page by page lesson plans, guided practice worksheets, and text specific reader’s notebook prompts for the following strategies:
Retelling and Summarizing
Making Predictions
Identifying the Author’s Purpose
Understanding Text Structure
Synthesizing
I also created an Extension Activity for early finishers.
Next, I find that vocabulary instruction works best when it’s done within the context of books that students are already reading. That’s why I’ve included the following vocabulary resources:
Vocabulary Word List
Flash Cards (match words to pictures and match words to definitions)
Interactive Vocabulary Notebook Cards
Vocabulary Word Games Printable
Personal Vocabulary Word Bookmark
I’ve also included a word study lesson plan and set of activities, because, much like vocabulary, I find that word study works best within context. As a result, I have identified word patterns within trade books and have developed lesson plans and resources based on the word study that can be done with specific books. The lesson plan and set of resources for Turkey Trouble focuses on Onomatopoeias and includes the following:
Lesson Plan
Interactive Activity
Practice Page
Independent Word Work
This set of resources also includes the following:
Running Record Assessment
Common Core Aligned Comprehension Assessment
Answer Keys
Common Core State Standard Alignment
Spanish translation of the comprehension strategy practice pages, reader’s notebook prompts (complete with Spanish Common Core “I Can” statements), and extension activities for use with Turkey Trouble
BONUS: Surprise Sample Resource
