With these steps clearly outlined, you can model your thought process and help students practice the skill.

Writing Prompt According to the preamble of the U.S. Constitution, what are three reasons the Founding Fathers (politicians of the day) gave for writing the Constitution?

LearnZillion Notes: --Start with the 1st step here.

Who does General Washington want to be responsible for improving the style of language used by the troops?

The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish and wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little know in an American army, is growing into fashion. He hopes the officers will, by example as well as influence endeavor to check it, and that both they and the men will reflect, that we can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms, if we insult it by our impiety and folly.

How can we know from this order that cursing is not part of the language traditionally used by the soldiers in General Washington’s army? LearnZillion Notes: --The “Guided Practice” section should include an example or multiple examples that target the skill that was used in the Core Lesson. Use the same vocabulary and process you used in the original lesson to solve this problem. Add as many Guided Practice slides as necessary!

Get into groups of three or four. Think about an upcoming quiz or test in English or Social Studies that will cover material from a text (textbook, novel, etc.). Write three to four questions that might appear on the quiz/test that could be answered using quotations from the text. When you think you have good questions, get them approved by your teacher. LearnZillion Notes: --On the Extension Activities slide(s) you should describe 2-3 activities written with students as the audience (not teachers). Each extension activity should push the students a bit further with the lesson but in a different application or context. Each activity should be designed to take roughly 20-40 minutes. Teachers will likely display the slide in class and then assign an activity to a student or group for additional practice and differentiation. Ideally, these Extension Activities will be created such that a teacher can differentiate instruction by giving more difficult extension activities to students who have shown mastery of the lesson, and less difficult activities to students who are not yet proficient. --If you need more than one slide to list your extension activities, feel free to copy and paste this slide!

Be prepared to share your answers with the class. Once your review questions have been approved, trade them with another group in the room. Now, as a group, try to use your text to answer the questions using quotations with ellipses. Be prepared to share your answers with the class.

How can we know from this order that General Washington is not happy with the language of his troops? LearnZillion Notes: --”Quick Quiz” is an easy way to check for student understanding at the end of a lesson. On this slide, you’ll develop an quick way to assess student understanding of the new material. That’s it! You won’t be recording a video of this slide and when teachers download the slides, they’ll direct their students through the example on their own so you don’t need to show an answer to the question.
