This lesson plan is for a Grade 7 English class focusing on noting details. It has three main objectives: for students to determine details from an essay through guide questions; create a fishbone diagram organizing essay ideas; and develop noting details skills using a graphic organizer. Students will read and discuss paragraphs from the essay "I am a Filipino" in groups, answering questions about each. They will then make fishbone diagrams showing the main ideas and details of their assigned paragraphs. The lesson teaches students that noting details requires careful reading to understand and record brief notes about key information.
