Readers, I want to tell you that I have come to know you in these first few weeks of school because I have been paying

attention to what you say, what you do, and what is important to you. All of this helps me get to know you. The same thing

has happened to you, too. You came into this class not knowing everyone, and you have made new friends by noticing

when someone is helpful and when someone is kind. It works the same with characters in book. We get to know the

characters in the stories we read because we envision, we notice the little things like how a character talks and acts and the

choices he makes because these are signs that let reader know the kind of person he is.

Teacher will ask the students “When you hear the word envision, what words to you associate with it? Teacher can write

envision at the top of chart paper and allow students to write the words that are associated with it. Teacher will then go over

then list and lead into direct instruction

Instruction: (Provide list of tasks to be performed by teacher and students)

Determine what to use to instruct and model - cooperative learning, peers, distributed guided practice, distributed summarizing, reciprocity,

graphic organizers, role play, visual displays, formative assessment strategies… (Follow Instructional Cycle - I Do, We Do, You Do)
