Grab it here.
The first page is the curriculum map itself and the second page is a list of possible activities to do within each book unit. I put the activities in the order in which I would do them.
I decided I didn't want to teach narrative and expository separately. I realized it would be much more beneficial to teach them together within a single thematic unit. So I basically rearranged the curriculum to reflect book units that encompass a wide variety of things all based off of a fictional story. Each book unit has both the narrative AND expository piece. For example, if I read the book Jumanji as my fictional story, I might read non-fiction books about snakes or monkeys or jungles to keep with the theme.
I already completed my Narrative Baselines which told me where all of my students were with regard to their narrative development. This will be explained in a future post. Here are some pictures of my data wall to give you an idea of the results I obtained:
Each student has a number
I also did my SGM introduction and practice. We practiced our icon identification (character, setting, kick off etc.) with the books Amelia Bedelia and The Giving Tree. The kids now know the symbols on the yarn tools and are ready for the book units! I wanted to make sure they had sufficient practice with the symbols so it didn't interfere with the story having to teach it all at that particular moment. Future post on this topic as well.
Hope everyone had a great first day back! :)
