Continued Close Reading of Thank You, Mr. Falker: Text Dependent Questions and Vocabulary

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Continued Close Reading of Thank You, Mr. Falker: Text Dependent Questions and Vocabulary lesson plan also includes:
  • Project
  • Vocabulary
  • Worksheet
  • Join to access all included materials

In the second lesson plan in a series that revolves around the story, Thank You, Mr. Falker, learners practice the skill of answering direct questions from the text while using complete sentences. After a teacher-led review of how to write answers using a full sentence, pupils complete a worksheet (embedded in the plan), which has four questions that have to do with the story. They are higher-level questions which will require students to give their opinions about certain events in the story. Finally, a vocabulary game is played by the whole class that uses selected words from the story.
