Begin the drafting phase of the writing process with a lesson plan focused on logically writing three body paragraphs. Then, revise the writing to make it more formal after a teacher-directed mini-lesson plan. Each paragraph highlights one of Bud's rules from Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis.

Instructional Ideas

  • Create a class blog post asking any of the discussion questions found in the lesson 
  • Advise learners to keep all papers in a safe place so they can easily access them at a later time 
  • Allow partners to revise each other's writing as an additional source of word choice support 

Classroom Considerations

  • Copies are required
  • The thirteenth in a series of 17 lesson plans designed to accompany Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis
  • Many of the materials required are from past lessons; you can locate these items in the Included Materials section 

Pros

  • The lesson plan is written clearly and in detail
  • Cooperative learning strategies are incorporated into each activity
  • Notes explain how activities meet the needs of your learners

Cons

  • None
