Focus and
Review

Summarize the lesson from the previous day. Yesterday, we learned about how stories we read have
characters, settings, plots and a beginning as well as an end, when we read Franklin Goes to School
-A student with ADHD will need to be sitting in the front of the classroom, away from the back and
middle where there is so much congestion and chaos from other students. There will not be as
many distractions at the front, the student can focus better and I will be able to keep my eye on
them, and make sure their attention is kept on what I am teaching and the assignment at hand.

Objective(s)
(NCSCS reference)

Teacher
Input

RI.2.1 Ask and answer questions such as who, what, when, where, why and how to demonstrate
understanding of key details within a text.
-Today, we are going to learn about looking for key details within stories as we read and then
using those details to answer questions afterwards.
First, we will read as a class, the story Lillys Purple Plastic Purse, by Kevin
Henkes.
-Once we have complete the story, we will discuss as a class various aspects of
the story, such as who were the characters? What color was Lillys purse? Why
did Lilly get mad at Mr. Slinger? Who was her teacher? etc.
-After I feel all the children have a good knowledge of the story, we will move on to
the SmartBoard Activity.
-I will have a previous SmartBoard activity pulled up on the SmartBoard of
Franklin Goes to School.
- Explain to Students the activity we are preparing to do on the board involves reading and
answering text questions. There are a total of 3 answer choices the children can choose from, with
each question. Explain to them they are about to answer several of the questions, then choose
what they feel is the best answer out of the 3. After they have chosen that answer, they will then
select that answer (which is highlighted in yellow) with their finger, then drag the answer to the

given answer line, (the blue line below the question).
-Circulate the front of the classroom as the students are coming up to the front to complete the
activity, just in case they develop any questions about the assignment or the story.
-Circulate the classroom as well, to make sure everyone is paying attention to the Smart Board and
the questions being answered.
-Provide students with copies of Franklins Halloween, to read for homework that night, along with
a worksheet in the same format of the SmartBoard Activity, only in paper/worksheet form and the
students instead circle the best answer on their papers, instead of dragging it to a designated line.
Each worksheet should ask around 8 questions.5 out of the total 8 questions being correct
demonstrate mastery.

-Some ADHD students feel they need a private place to do their work, so provide a designated spot
somewhere, probably in the back of the classroom (a desk, rug, bean bag, etc.) where students
with ADHD can go to complete their assignments.
Formative Assessment: Throughout the activity, circulate the classroom and listen for accuracy of
student responses to the questions on the board about Lillys Purple Plastic Purse.
*Listen to the ADHD student responses, to make sure they are logical/ correct and that the student
is not getting off task.
A student with ADHD may be provided a small carrel, designed to fit an Elementary-school sized
desk for an Elementary school child. Carrels can also be provided to other students as well, that
may have a hard time focusing and paying attention to one thing. A carrel helps to keep other
things within the classroom, out of view and also make things quieter and provide more privacy.
(Other children could be provided a carrel for another reason being so that the child with ADHD
does not think that their carrel is being used as a form for punishment. A possibility would be for
even myself to use a carrel, that way the students really realize that there is nothing too unusual

about the idea.

Now everyone knows what they are supposed to do on their homework tonight. Tomorrow we will
review the answers you chose as a class.
-I will ask for a volunteer to come to the board and choose a question from the Smart Board
activity, and tell the class why they feel like this is the best answer.
