Editor's Notes
- The lesson: Dragon Comprehends Key Ideas & Concepts helps students learn about reading comprehension as it relates to the different parts of the story (characters, settings, plot, etc.), as well as key ideas and details from the picture book Old McDonald had a Dragon as well as learning about how adjectives are useful. Students will also have the reading comprehension handouts/forms that go along with this lesson. Content Objective: At the end of the activity, students will be able to identify the main idea(s) and details from the story by utilizing their reading comprehension skills and learning how adjectives can better help readers “see” the story.
- The formative assessment for this activity would be having the students write a reflective piece which includes: what they thought about the story, what they learned/understood, what confused them, and what they thought the main idea(s) was/were for the story.
- At the end of the unit, I will administer a test that assesses the students knowledge of: The vocabulary words, characters, main idea(s) and details, the setting, etc. These will include the following types of questions: Fill in the blank, multiple choice, matching, and possibly short answer.
