Secret 1
1.2 When I have a lesson that doesn't take a full class period, I always over plan. Since reading their AR book is one viable option for Language Arts, I always try to have a purpose that ties in with the objective currently being covered either in the Reading or Language Arts curriculum. (For example we have been studying nouns and pronouns in L.A., so I have them locate a short paragraph in their AR book that has at least 5 pronouns in it. Then they copy the paragraph, white-out the pronouns, and trade the paragraph with another student to complete with person- al pronouns. Once checked, we discuss the relevance of an author using pronouns in their writing.
Another strategy is to have the students replace all of the pronouns with nouns. Then we discuss how the redundancy gets boring.)
