Scaffolding Strategy: My teaching approach for this objective will be the “I do it”, “We do it” then “You do it”. The “I do it” portion will be me modelling the process of gathering information about a character and putting this information into a graphic organizer. For the “We do it” part, students will work in pairs by gathering information on a character and putting the information in a graphic organizer. The teacher will work with students that need additional support and offer feedback on each pair’s work. For the “You do it” portion students will be expected to independently identify information about a character and organize the information in a graphic organizer.

Scaffolding Strategy: The “I do it” portion will be me modelling the process of answering questions and recording answers about one character. Once students have finished answering a question, the teacher will show students a sample of a script and share expectations for writing a script.For the “We do it” part, students will work independently on answering questions and recording the information about an assigned character. The teacher will work with students that need additional support and offer feedback on their work. For the “You do it” portion each student will write a short script with his or her assigned character in the main role, showing the character reflecting on his or her actions and talking about why he or she acted the way they did.

Scaffolding Strategy: For this objective I would ask the students if they know what it mean to compare and contrast. By the time they get to third grade they should have had some practice comparing and contrasting. I will have the students use their prior knowledge to introduce the lesson. Once they share what they already know, I will then teach the lesson.

Scaffolding Strategy: For this objective I think the best strategy is to start a class discussion. I will use the think-pair-share strategy. This should get students thinking about and discussing the characters in the story. This objective will come later in the unit; therefore having discussions about the characters will be easy, as students will have learned enough information about the story.
