30 Minutes

This lesson aligns with the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts, specifically focusing on the comprehension and analysis of non-fiction texts.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 min | Introduce the topic of non-fiction text features. Discuss prior knowledge and experiences with non-fiction texts. |
| 2 | Direct Instruction | 10 min | Present a mini-lesson on key non-fiction text features using student-friendly examples. Show illustrations of each feature (headings, captions, etc.). |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 min | Distribute sample texts to students. In pairs, students will identify and label text features using sticky notes. |
| 4 | Group Discussion | 5 min | Facilitate a class discussion where pairs share their findings. Students should explain how each feature helps them understand the text better. |
| 5 | Independent Practice | 5 min | Provide graphic organizers for students to complete individually, summarizing the features found in their non-fiction text. |
| 6 | Closure | 2 min | Recap the key features discussed in the lesson. Ask students to share one feature they found interesting as a closing reflection. |
Assign a non-fiction text for students to read at home. They will be required to identify text features and annotate them using the graphic organizer. Homework will be collected and reviewed for understanding, but no student will be asked to present their homework in front of the class.
Review graphic organizers to assess understanding of non-fiction text features. Provide feedback accordingly, noting areas of strength and growth for each student.
