Unit Title:   Publish My Author, Please

Lesson Title:    Presentation Preparation

Creator: Jan Coby and Lori Barnhart

Grade Level: 5

Subject: Reading

Essential Question: 1. What do readers want to know about the authors of the
books they read?    2. How do publishers convince readers to purchase their

Sponge Activity: (Daily routine) Students will come into class, write down
today’s assignment, then read their Accelerated Reader books. (Note: Mrs.
Barnhart will check and initial assignments while Miss Coby checks AR books,
checks for student absences, and meets with students, if needed.)

Activating Prior Knowledge: Students will review the six different types of
advertising techniques that they studied last week. They will work in groups to
match actual advertisements to the correct advertising techniques.

Vocabulary Development: Students will use their information sheets and
advertisements to complete an idea web graphic organizer. Each group will
complete an organizer that identifies an advertising technique and key words or
ideas from the ads that help them identify the technique that was used. Each
group will share its idea web with the class.

Skill Lesson Through Direct Instruction and Modeling: Miss Coby will model how
to complete the next phase of the PowerPoint project. (Students should be ready
to add clipart, font changes, and/or other extras to their presentations.) She will
also review the rubric for the read-aloud presentations. Mrs. Barnhart will explain
what the students will need to discuss when they meet with her to finalize the
plans for their selling point projects.

Active Literacy: Each team of students will work on one of three tasks:
completing the PowerPoint (which will be the informational piece of their
presentation); practicing their read-aloud presentations (which will be the
entertainment piece of their presentation); and meeting with Mrs. Barnhart to
finalize the plans for their selling point (which will be the persuasive piece of the
presentation). Students will be asked to rotate their tasks in order to make
certain each team has the opportunity to discuss its selling point plans. (Note:
Miss Coby will be providing assistance to students as they work on their
PowerPoint presentations while Mrs. Barnhart meets with groups of students to
help them plan and prepare their selling point presentations.)

Post Literacy: Debriefing—Each team will tell which part of their presentation is
most ready (PowerPoint, Read-aloud or Selling Point) and which part of their
presentation needs the most work. They will have the opportunity to ask for
advice for completing any part of their presentation.

Reflection: Exit slip—Each student will complete an exit slip that answers the
following questions: What do you need to do on your own to help your team
complete its presentation? What does your team need to do together to
complete the presentation?
