The students will watch the Teacher Tube Video: Basic Narratives. The video is centered on comprehending a narrative by reading aloud a short excerpt from a narrative. The video also provides instructions on how you can gather information from a narrative and then how it is interpreted. As the students are reading along the subtitles and listening to information on how to understand the layout of reading a narrative, I will pause the video periodically so that they have ample time to fill out the graphic organizer as they follow along the short story. I will repeat the video for the students to be able to thoroughly engage with the lesson and the graphic organizer. Assessment/Evaluation: The students will be informally evaluated on their understanding of basic narratives through observations of their work throughout group reading time. The students will be formally evaluated on their understanding of basic narratives by their completion of the graphic organizer associated with the Teacher tube video: Basic Narratives. “The Story Tree” graphic organizer has 6 questions that correlate with the
basic narrative video, and students will demonstrate their understanding by following along and filling out each of the 6 blanks.
