 Anticipatory Set: Reintroduce the story “Hedgehog Bakes a Cake” to the class. Ask the
students what they can recall happening in the story. Students will then create a
Beginning-Middle-End graphic organizer in their writing journals. Students will then have a
few minutes to turn and with their peers to discuss the story.
 Direct Instruction (I do): Review Who, What, Where, When, Why with the students. Ask
the students what each of those terms mean. Students will then need to answer the W
questions in regard to the story.
 Guided Practice (We do): Teacher will go over the story that they read last week
together. The teacher and students will fill out a study guide for their test that they have on
Wednesday. Students must find the answer in the story and read where they found it.
(evidence) Students will receive participation points based off of the number of times that
they raise their hand to share an answer.
 Independent Practice (You do): Daily Rotations will start if there is enough time after
completing the study guide. The students will be assigned a maximum of three different
stations during the rotations.

students must create a B-M-E (beginning, middle, and end) and draw pictures to
correspond with it.

Word Work: Students will choose an activity from the word work wall to complete, using their

When they finish that they will do another empower task card practice with Vowel

answer questions on the study guide. The students must volunteer to answer the questions from
the study guide. Those students who volunteer to answer a question, will get participation points

Modification/Differentiation:
The Unicorn guided reading group has surpassed the second-grade reading level. Therefore, they will meet
together to form a book club. These students will need to read a few pages together and then discuss what
happened within those pages.
The mentor teacher will be testing MTSS students on fluency passages using Phonics survey and high
frequency word lists.
