What Goes In, Must Come Out
Students will learn how to use an input-output table using real-world examples.
What’s the Big Idea?
In cooperative groups, students rotate through stations to identify the main idea of selected passages while making inferences using expository text.
Poetic Inferences
In learning stations, students use textual evidence and personal schema to make inferences about the structure and elements of poetry, and provide textual evidence to support their understanding.
Solving One- and Two-Step Addition and Subtraction Problems
Students will use strategies to break down steps in a word problem, allowing for an understanding of the vocabulary and processes necessary, to apply correct math operations, maintain correct place value, and analyze solution feasibility.
Graphs and More Graphs Oh My!
Students will gather data based on a game and create the four types of graphs (pictograph, frequency table, bar graph, and dot plot).
Students Working
Text Features of Non-Fiction

Equivalent Fractions
Students will identify equivalent fractions by finding corresponding fractions on human number lines.
Apply the P.I.E.
This lesson is a review of the author's purpose, and also the first look into selecting textual evidence to support the purpose. The lesson will review a selected text as a group and then break into smaller groups so that each student is able to have hands-on experience evaluating the author’s purpose.
Matchup Mashup
Students will join like text features by reassembling a deconstructed nonfiction text.
Text Features Detectives
Students will work together to answer questions about an expository text containing no text features. Then, students will justify their answers using the same text but with text features.
