Model Lesson
• Become a student for this portion of our work.
• There will be time to think like a teacher and ask questions about planning later after you have some experiences as a learner.
• We are asking you to be “students,” be metacognitive about our choices/design.

Student Learning Target
1. I can give and receive feedback on quality indicators of fluency.

Rubric Creation
• Look at the remaining blank criteria in Rate/Flow and in Phrasing/Punctuation.
• Using the models that are already on your rubric, work in small groups at your tables to come up with the remaining criteria for “meeting” and “approaching” in these categories
EngageNY.org 11
Share and Add
• Listen as others share and add to your rubric criteria.
EngageNY.org 12
Listen and Rate
• You are going to listen to me read and rate me in the quality indicators.

Let’s try it
• Score me as a 1,2,3,4 in each category of the rubric

Read on your own
• Whisper read or read to yourself.
• Repeat the passages as many times as you can in the 2 minutes provided.

Read with a partner
• Now practice with a partner.
• You will each have one minute to read while your partner listens and uses the rubric to give feedback.
EngageNY.org 16
Journal
• At this point, you will not ask your “teacher” questions out loud to the group.
• Think about this: What are your thoughts about how this lesson experience could impact your current classroom practice? What are some thoughts or questions you want to capture right now before moving on in this model lesson experience?
EngageNY.org 17
Welcome back to class!
• Student Learning Targets:
(1) I can collaborate with 7th grade classmates to determine word meanings.
(2) I can write a gist statement for a chunk of text.
EngageNY.org 18
Known-Acquainted-Unknown
• Known = I could teach that word!
• Acquainted= I have heard it. I am pretty sure I know what it means.
• Unknown= I don’t know that word!
EngageNY.org 19
Check your thinking
• Read the definitions from the vocabulary list provided.
• In particular, look at the definitions of words that were UNKNOWN or ACQUAINTED for you.
• Also, check that you were correct for your KNOWN words.
EngageNY.org 20
Vocabulary
• Fill in the blanks on the “Vocabulary: The Slave Trade and Abolition” (work for 5 minutes on your own)
• Check your thinking with a partner and correct if necessary.

• Second reading: read and circle unknown words.
• Third, read and write a gist statement at the bottom of your paper.
EngageNY.org 25
Think like a teacher now
• Quietly journal about this portion of the model lesson experience.
• Think about these questions:
What do you want to argue with or question about what you experienced?
What do you agree will support students in improved literacy development?
EngageNY.org 26
Task Card
• Review the steps on the Task Card for Application of Learning
EngageNY.org 27
Charts
