This phonics lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will identify and use appropriate words and vocabulary based on subject matter and context. This lesson is the beginning level of decoding words (words containing only the phonetic code the student has already learned) and includes the following digraphs: th, sh, ch, wh, ck, and ng. Non-decodable words are not included because students must be taught the sounds of the different phonic patterns.

This reading literature lesson covers how to use words and illustrations to describe characters, setting, and plot. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will read the text and look at the illustration. Then, they will review a series of statements about the characters, setting, and plot, identifying whether the details came from the words or the illustration.

This reading literature lesson explains how pictures add information to a story (e.g., create mood, emphasize aspects of a character or setting). In this lesson, students will describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events. (Also aligns with 3.RL.3.)

This reading comprehension lesson focuses on discerning implied main ideas and supporting evidence in a text. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read the text and determine which sentences are supporting evidence for a common idea. Then, they choose the implied main idea from four possibilities. In addition to the lesson, there are eight pages of Independent Practice and review with questions modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This geometry lesson teaches students how to translate geometric figures. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will translate geometric figures. Students will also verify the properties of translated figures.  This lesson can be used with rulers and protractors or with geometric software.

This physical science lesson focuses on describing the Law of Conservation of Matter. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a balanced chemical reaction and draw a molecular model for the reactants and the products. Then, students count and write the number of atoms for the reactants and the products. Finally, students read passages and complete a graphic organizer, as well as explaining why a chemical reaction does or does not obey the Laws of Conservation of Matter. In addition to the lesson, there are four pages for Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.

This language lesson covers how to determine the meaning of unknown words by using context clues. In this lesson, students will find the meaning of selected words in nearby individual sentences, paragraphs, or the text as a whole. Prior to this lesson,students should already have worked with context clues as definitions, examples, restatements, relationships, and comparisons (as they have been addressed in lower grades).

This language lesson asks students to interpret euphemism and oxymorons. In this lesson, students will read a passage with key words underlined. Then, they will identify whether the word is an euphemism or oxymoron and interpret its meaning. According to The Internet TSEL Journal, speakers of English use euphemisms to express many everyday realities, and have to decode them daily at work and in the media. Fluency in English requires the understanding of euphemisms, yet they are largely untaught. This lesson addresses that need.

This creating equations lesson teaches students how to solve exponential equations in one variable. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students will create and solve exponential equations to solve problems involving exponential growth or decay.

This biology lesson focuses on explaining phenotype inheritance using Punnett squares. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for assessments. In this lesson, students read a genetic cross, identifying the dominant and recessive traits, and determine the genotype of each parent. Then, they label the Punnett square with the alleles of each parent. Next, students combine the alleles of each parent to determine the genotype of each offspring. Finally, they identify the phenotype and answer the questions. In addition to the lesson, there is one page of Independent Practice and review modeled after current adaptive testing items.
