This lesson is part of a larger unit on the Great Depression. In this unit, students will be focusing on determining importance; summarizing; making predictions; recognizing plot structure; and identifying flashbacks, foreshadowing and setting. Wherever possible, mini-lesson texts relate to American life in the 1930s, and all students will be reading literature circle novels set during this time period in American history.
In today's lesson, students will practice summarizing what they read.
Inside, you will find a detailed lesson plan, a student worksheet and exit slips to check for mastery of today's objective.
