Grade 3 Quarter 1
Teacher Directions
1. This lesson should follow the whole class reading and discussion of the story, Alexander
Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday.
2. This prompt is to be used as a model lesson so that students understand how to answer
this type of prompt and respond in narrative writing.
3. Read the prompt to the class. Then provide each student with a copy of the prompt and
the texts. These texts give all the information needed to address the prompt. These
should be read and analyzed with the students carefully before writing. Model the process
and teach the students to refer back to the texts while writing and to take notes. They
should use a graphic organizer and mark up the texts as needed.
4. Teachers and students should take as much time as needed to plan, write, and proofread.
Day 1-2
Provide each student with a copy of the prompt and the text Alexander Who Used to be
Rich Last Sunday from Reading Street. The teacher will read pages 76 -79 aloud and
provide a guided discussion on point of view. This discussion should include pronouns
indicating first person point of view, (citing examples from the text) and examples of
child-like language and perspective, (eg. ratty and mean melted or smushed.)
Day 3
Today will be a whole class lesson, with the teacher as facilitator. The teacher will provide
students with the graphic organizer. The teacher will model how to gather and record
information from the text and put it on the graphic organizer. The students will copy the
teacher model.
