Materials Needed:
As students enter the classroom, place the mysterious letter at the front of the room, slightly hidden inside a decorative envelope or scroll. Prepare to capture their attention!
Before beginning the lesson, read the letter aloud to the class. Use an engaging tone, as if this is an urgent and important message:
Dear Brave Readers,
I hope this message finds you well! I write to you from a distant land where magic and adventure await at every corner. But I need your help!
Legend has it that hidden among the words of great stories lie secrets to powerful treasures. However, these treasures can only be uncovered by those brave enough to dive deep into the pages of a book. But beware! If not approached carefully, these stories can twist and turn, leading you to confusing places.
To find the true treasures of knowledge, you must master the art of reading comprehension. Join me, and together we will unravel the mysteries that lie within!
Yours adventurously,
The Literary Explorer
After reading the letter, engage students in a discussion:
By launching the lesson with this engaging narrative, you create an atmosphere of excitement and intrigue around reading comprehension. This sets an enthusiastic tone for the entire session and encourages students to actively participate in the lesson!
