“A Bad Case of Stripes” by David Shannon
Vocabulary/Context Clues PowerPoint (Slides below)
Misconceptions: Students believe that if they do not know a word they must always ask for help or should search it.
Pre-Assessment: Through the school’s STAR data testing, I was able to see that the class scored low in the area of context
clues. A teacher-made pencil and paper pre-assessment was then given as well and this was further confirmed. See below for
pretest example.
Lesson Plan Details: Write a detailed outline via steps (NOT in a paragraph form) of your class session including instructional
strategies, learning tasks, key questions, key transitions, management techniques and strategies, student supports, assessment
strategies, and conclusion.
Your outline should be detailed enough that another teacher could understand them well enough to use them. Include what you
will do as a teacher and what your students will be doing during each lesson phase. Include a few key time guidelines.
Note: The italicized statements and scaffolding questions are meant to guide your thinking and planning.
You do not need to answer them explicitly or address each one in your plan. Delete them before typing your lesson outline.
Ask the students how can we figure out who came into the classroom while we were gone. (Referencing the crime scene.)
Allow for students to think about it and then turn and talk to partner about their ideas. If need be, guide students to coming to the
conclusion that they need to be detectives in order to figure it out.
Allow for students to explore the ‘crime scene’ and begin to form a list of suspects (Figure 2).
Once you have a list of a few suspects, begin leading conversation to be able to rule out each suspect until getting to one
(Leprechaun)
Closure - “After”:
Tell students that we will continue working with context clues the following day and reading “A Bad Case of Stripes”.
Ask them if and how the clues helped us while reading.
Review the definition of context clues, “clues that good readers use to find the meaning of unknown words”.
Restate learning objective, “I can determine the meaning of unknown words.”
Tell students that as ‘good readers’ they should be doing this during their own reading.
Assessment: Turn and talk to partner, class discussion.
Evaluation Criteria: Teacher will listen and guide conversation and class discussion in order.
Next Step: Continue reading story and discussing unknown words. Allow for more group and independent practice.
Extension: Finish the story and allow for students to find other words in their books that they do not know.
NOTE: Attach any and ALL Relevant handouts, activities, templates, PPT slides, etc. that are referenced and utilized in this

Lesson Introduction - “Before”:
“Yesterday we began talking about what?” Teacher will ask the students what was talked/learned about the day before.
Review standard and objective.
Teacher and students will go over the definition of context clues.
Closure - “After”:
Ask them if and how the clues helped us while reading.
Finish anchor chart. (Figure 4)
Have a class discussion as to what steps we took as a class to find out the meaning of the unknown word. Steps may vary some
but students will know that 1. Read the sentence and underline the unknown word. 2. Think about what is happening in the
sentence. 3. Find other words to help find the meaning of unknown words. 4. Try different words in place of unknown word to see
if it makes sense.
Tell students that we will continue working with context clues the following day.
Review the definition of context clues, “clues that good readers use to find the meaning of unknown words”.
Restate learning objective, “I can determine the meaning of unknown words.”
Tell students that as ‘good readers’ they should be doing this during their own reading.
Evaluation Criteria: Teacher will listen and guide conversation and class discussion in order.
Next Step: Continue reading story and discussing unknown words. Allow for more group and independent practice.
Extension: Allow for students to read other books and stories to practice using their clues and steps from anchor chart.

Closure - “After”:
Once students are all on the carpet, read a few of the statements to allow students to share their clues and responses.
Review the definition of context clues and the steps that they use when trying to define the unknown word.
Evaluation Criteria: Analyzing both the context clues and the answer itself will show if the student is understanding how to use the
clues for the answer.
Next Step: Students should continue to practice individually and with a small group for mastery of the skill.
Extension: Teacher could allow for students to each do all 24 statement cards.
