Essential Understanding
(What is the big idea or
essential question that you
want students to come away
with? In other words, what,
aside from the standard and
our objective, will students
understand when they finish
this lesson?)
Given the text, students will be able to identify the purpose of text features/key details.
This lesson is being taught in order to provide students with the opportunity to learn
about key details and text features. This lesson
The teacher must know about different types of storms and how scientists measure these
storms.
What background
The students must have an idea of what a storm is in order to understand the different
types. The students must also know that scientists use tools (or things) to
measure/discover. The learners previous knowledge will be ensured by activating the
background knowledge of living in Florida where it rains (storms) frequently, additionally,
the student have had training/experiences discussing some basic tools used in science.
The leaners consist of first grade students of various backgrounds. I know that they
attend a title one school, live in Florida, and are eager to converse with their peers. I
know that they are ready for this content because previous lessons have prepared them
to meet these objectives/standards.
Students may have the misconception that all storms are the same, and that they cannot
be measured because you cannot use tools that they already understand (rules, etc.)
Lesson Implementation
In order to provide students with the most appropriate teaching method this early in the
year, I will complete whole group instruction. Additionally I will complete a read/think
aloud so that students are able to comprehend the thinking process.
I will also have the students complete a turn and talk so that they are able to discuss
their ideas with peers.
We will also complete a class discussion in order to fill in the graphic organizer/t-chart.

storms.
Read text genre and text focus
Text genre: informational text gives facts about a
topic
Text focus: photographs show pictures of real
things with important details.
What do you know about informational texts?
Turn and talk, have two/three students share
o (Title, pictures/graphics, captions, labels)
What do you see in the pictures on pages 58/59?
Turn and talk, have two students share
o When the students answer lightening,
share that Florida is the lightning capital
of the United States.
Read pages 58 and 59 ask appropriate questions/think
aloud (ten minutes)- remind students to use their reading
fingers
Has anybody ever been in a storm? Think about it. (pg
58)
On page 59, have the students take a moment to
imagine the type of storm.
How many types of storms are there? Hold up a
number
Turn to page 60, read page 60 (five minutes)
What types of tools have you seen before? Have
students raise hand after saying each tool.
What information do the photographs give us that the
words dont?
Fill in T-chart/graphic organizer. (ten minutes)
Model identifying the text feature/explain the purpose
of it.
Now that we have read each page and examined the
text features, we are going to fill in this T-chart/graphic
organizer as a class. I want you to turn and talk with
your partner and identify one feature.
Fill in chart
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to the interests and cultural
backgrounds of your students?
This lesson connects to the cultural background of my students because storms are
consistent throughout almost all areas of land/cultures.
If applicable, how does this lesson connect to/reflect the local community?
This content reflects/connects to the local community because it is examining the many
types of storms, and since the students live in Florida, the content will connect to the
students experiences with storms.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
challenge during this lesson (enrichment)?
If the student requires enrichment, they will be required to examine the text features
further so that they may discover some features/purposes that the whole class
instruction did not.
How will you differentiate instruction for students who need additional
language support?
In order to assist the students that require additional language support, many of the new
vocabulary terms/difficult words will be explained and placed into a context that is
familiar to the student. Additionally, various graphics are provided within the text to
assist with any language barrier.
