Literacy Lesson Plan with Evidence Based Strategies
For Module 3 Application, I will develop a literacy lesson plan that could be
implemented school-wide. In the lesson plan, I will incorporate evidence-based
strategies from my independent research on Module 2 and from course presentations
and readings

Literacy Need:
Readers need to interpret the lesson by asking themselves, “What is the author
trying to teach me?” or “What lesson did the character learn?” or “How and why did the
character change?”
Lesson Title: Identifying the Theme of a story
Overview:
Reading understanding evaluation is presently a theme of discussion and some
apprehension (Paris & Stahl, 2005). Recognizing the theme of a story is a difficult order
skill and involves the reader to make an interpretation. Subsequently, some students
have a problematic time recognizing themes. Because this skill is often assessed on
state reading tests, it is important that your students recognize themes with logical
consistency. I find that correctly teaching students how to recognize themes goes a long
way in the direction of meeting this goal.
Standards:
RL.2.1 Ask and answer such questions as who, what, where, when,
why, and how to demonstrate understanding of key details in a text.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes:
2
Evidence Based Strategies
In this lesson students will increase a fundamental comprehension of two of the
characters. They must come away comprehending that Jack and his mother are poor,
can no longer trust on their cow for food, and that Jack is ready to aid his mother with
their difficulties. Students will need to be able to find key elements in the text and
generate a drawing with descriptions based on those details. This lesson will deliver a
basis for the students to later understand the motive behind Jack’s determination in
defeating the experiments hi faces in the story.
Special Materials:
1) Copies of the anchor text “Jack and the Beanstalk” for each student.
2) Copies of the student notes sheet for each student.
Name: _________________ Date: ___________
Student notes for: Jack and the Beanstalk
Day: 1
1. Who are the characters in the story?
2. What problem do Jack and his mother have at the beginning of the story?
3. The author says that Jack’s mother is “wringing her hands.” What does this
mean?
4. How does Jack try to help his mother?
Name: _______________________________ Date: ___________

Evidence Based Strategies
Focus question: Using evidence from the text, how can you describe Jack and
his mother at the beginning of the story using pictures and words?
Procedures:
Give students pencils to make notes about the text as they look for words they
are uncertain of during the first read, and when they look for details about Jack
and his mother later in the lesson.
Give to each student the “Student notes Sheet”. It will provide students with the
text dependent questions related with this lesson.
During class, students can use this sheet to record their responses to the focus
question.
Following class, collect student notes to use as a formative assessment.
Explain to students that they will be concentrating on Jack and the Beanstalk for
the week. Tell them that it is a fairy tale, and that fairy tales have been retold for
hundreds of years. This means that this adaptation may be different than the one
they must have heard before.
Give students time to read and look at the story on their own, circling words they
are not familiar with.
Confer for a moment what the students observed about the story. Were the
differences between this one and the one they were familiar with? What words
were unfamiliar?
Presentation:
Reread the story aloud, stopping momentarily to talk over any vocabulary words
that fall in the first quadrant that weren’t conferred earlier.

Evidence Based Strategies
Identify the characters in the story. Once students are able to identify the
characters, they will be able to additional discover the individualities of those
characters in following questions and tasks.
Answer: The characters in the story are: Jack, Jack’s mother, a man with the
beans, a giant, and a giant’s wife.
Assessment:
Look for students: properly recognize all of the characters in the story, and make
sure that students go back into the story to find all of the characters.
Guiding questions and prompts: 1) what are characters? 2) Who are the people
in the story?
Notes: Remind students about what a character is.
In order to check if the students built a consideration of the family’s poverty they
should be able to explain Jack’s motivation to overcome later challenges.
Look for student’s answers:
Jack and his mother are poor. Jack’s father has died, leaving his mother a
widow. Both of them count on the cow to offer milk that they can exchange for food. In
spite of the cow has stopped providing milk.
They should recognize that the family is poor, count on the cow for food, and that
the cow has stopped providing milk.
Students should give details to confirm their answers.
The following are questions and prompts to help students to reflect and to show that
they have understood the text main parts.
1) Who lives with Jack?
5
Evidence Based Strategies
2) Can you define widow?
3) What happened to Jack’s father?
4) How do Jack and his mom depend on the cow?
5) What does the cow give to the family?
Notes the teacher should add to her/his lesson:
The word “widow” is not described in the story, and the teacher will need to
support an additional comprehension of what has happened to Jack’s father.
The teacher will need to build some background around exchanging in order for
students to comprehend how Jack and his mother use the cow’s milk to
exchange for food.
Learners may have some difficulty in making conclusions that because the cow
has stopped supplying milk, Jack and his mother will have nothing to eat.
Teacher will take into account enabling discussion around this after the students
have a comprehension of what jack and his mother use the cow for.
The purpose of the following question, (Why is Jack’s mom squeezing her
hands?) is to help my students understand that Jack’s mom is concerned. This
will help to explain Jack’s later behaviors. Students should answer that when
people squeeze their hands they are regularly concerned about something.
Jack’s mom is concerned about the cow not providing milk.
What teacher should expect from students:
Going back into story for information
Linking “ squeezing” to previous information about worrying
Supposing why Jack’s mom is squeezing her hands
6
Evidence Based Strategies
Directing questions and prompts:
Show me what you understand “squeezing your hands” look like.
Have you ever seen anyone squeezing their hands? How were they feeling at the
time?
Why should Jack’s mom be worried?
Teacher’s Notes:
Even though there is some circumstance to provision the word “wringing” the
teacher need to deliver additional information about what it is by demonstrating or
explaining.
Reason:
The goal of this query is for students to advance understanding into Jack's
character and a better grasp of his incentive for later tests. Students will need to look for
particulars in the text in order to answer this question.
Response:
Jack proposes to trade the cow at the marketplace.
Teacher makes sure students go back into the text for more information.
Controlling inquiries and prompts:
What did Jack say he would do after his mother was wringing her hands?
Teacher’s Notes:
This question is a basic one but very important to call attention to how eager
Jack is to aid his mom.
Reason:
7
Evidence Based Strategies
This query is designed to argument the learners in the text preliminary with a
basic perception of the two characters. Learners need to have a sense of the
scarceness they are confronting, and that Jack is prepared to aid his mom. This will
shape to an identification of why he needs to defeat the test of poverty and what pushes
him to continue when confronting those tests.
Response:
Drawings and subtitles would determine that Jack and his mom are deprived.
This might be demonstrated in numerous ways like little house, unkempt clothing, etc.)
Jack’s mother is a widow, and they both rely on the cow as a font of milk to trade for
food. The cow discontinues delivering milk, and Jack’s mother wrings her hands,
demonstrating her concern. Jack is enthusiastic to bring the cow to the marketplace to
trade it to aid his mom.
Teacher will expect the following responses that will include many facts associated with
the story:
1. Drafts that contain Jack, his mom, and other associate facts such as a home, a
cow, etc.
2. Subtitles like widow, deprived, concerned, or supports his mother for the
individuals.
Controlling queries and persuades:
1. Imagine Jack’s appearance. Say to your classmate what you realize.
( Replicate the same question with Jack’s mother)
2. In what way might you demonstrate that jack and his mother are deprived
in a picture?

Evidence Based Strategies
3. Besides that what could you supplement to a draft to define Jack and his
mom?
Extra Proceedings:
The teacher might need to assist the learners over subtitles. Teacher can
demonstrate models from additional story and suggest some opinions to the entire
group.
Presentation
Teacher’s Proceedings: Educator will use the subsequent queries as an
involvement implement for learners who make a great effort to response the emphasis
inquiry. The inquiries use a metacognitive method to demonstrate the aimed reading
understanding proficiencies.
Applying assistance from text, how can you define Jack and his mom at the
launch of the text using images and writings?
In this session you will study how to show a supportive of important facts about
characters by reading and imagining.
Let’s Review:
Fairy Tale
Characters are the people and animals in a story.
Key Details:
The boy had bright brown eyes.

Evidence Based Strategies
The house was green.
Reread the part of the passage when the characters are first introduced and
underline details about the characters.
Ask yourself, “What do these details tell me about these characters?”
A poor widow with a son Jack and his mother take care of themselves.
The milk from the cow Not much money to live on
What shall we do? Wringing hands Jack’s mother is worried and doesn’t know
what to do
All right mother we will sell cow Jack tries to make his mother feel better and help her
sell the cow
Make a picture in your mind to represent what each character should look like
and make a sketch.
Think, what other details are important to know about these characters and add
to your picture and write captions.

Evidence Based Strategies
Mom is worried. She is a widow.
Jack tries to be helpful. Jack has an idea.
Think, what other details are important to know about these characters? Add to
your picture and add captions.
Using evidence from the text, how can you describe Jack and his mother at the
beginning of the story using pictures and words?
1) Reread the part of the story where the characters are first introduced and
underline the details about the characters.
2) Ask yourself, “What do these details tell me about these characters?
3) Make a picture in your mind to represent what each character should look
like and make a sketch.
4) Think, “What other details are important to know about these characters?
Add to your picture and write captions.
In this lesson you have learned how to demonstrate an understanding of
key details about characters by rereading and visualizing.

Closure/Teacher Reflection:
Throughout this type of lesson, teacher will emphasis on illustrating deductions
inside and through textbooks, making associations between texts, and replying to text
by assessing its plan and its main mechanisms.
By watching each student operating in the small group, the teacher can transmit
or reteach singular learners or a small group if learners are having trouble with picture
their suppositions.
As the teacher walks between the groups, she/he may use a list of student
names to register subjective summaries and data concerning learners’ contribution,
information of getting deductions, and use of reading approaches.
By watching each learner working in the small groups, the teacher may convey or
reteach singular learner or a small group if they are encountering complication detecting
literary components or with encountering citations from the story as indication of the
components.
By detecting each student working in the small groups, the teacher can
readdress singular learners or a small group if they are encountering trouble
recognizing literary fundamentals or with encountering citations from the story as
indication of the components.
Gathering the diagrams for the continuing activity will suggest the occasion to
measure each learner’s requirements.
12
Evidence Based Strategies
Teacher can use the following checklist to assess her/his students’
comprehension:
Student deducts centered on story support.
Student mentions suitable citations from the story as indication to backing
suppositions.
Student reveals the aptitude to associate important literacy features like location,
personalities, struggle, and decision topic amongst two or more texts.
Learning to create, assess, and manage evidence in new means is the key to
training learners for the world beyond of school. I believe we can no longer consent
literacy advance to language arts teachers. Each teacher need understand to example
their intellectual procedures and “make the unseen noticeable” to students. With the
narrowing of the higher-order intellectual sequence, the literacy merge will be absolute.
