Smart Start Grade 3 Theme 3 Lesson 3 Workbook

Connection: I always start by connecting today’s lesson to something kids have previously learned so that it triggers their schema and background knowledge. Since this is the second day they are learning about Theme, I make a connection to the introduction lesson we did yesterday. I remind students that the strategy we are working on this week is called Theme. They love to repeat words so I ask them to say it with me again. Of course, I want to remind them what Theme is, which is the message, moral, or lesson learned in a story. I refer to the Theme anchor chart from the day before to review the definition and some common ones found in many texts.

Teaching Point: This is when I tell kids explicitly what we will be working on. I say, “Today, we are going to determine the Theme in some of our favorite Read Aloud books. When I want to model a strategy, I copy a page from 4 different books that we’ve already read together in class. This way, they are already familiar with the text and understand the context of the excerpts that I’ve chosen. I usually staple the excerpts in a small packet that I hand out to each student so they can follow along as I model the strategy. I then use the “To, With, and By” method of instruction to scaffold their learning. With the first example, I read the excerpt TO the class and model the strategy by thinking out loud. I am teaching the strategy TO them. I write down the Theme on the corresponding page in the packet. With the second example, I do the strategy WITH them. They read along with me and then I ask them to identify the Theme. We write down their thoughts on the corresponding page in the packet. With the third example, I want the students to do it BY themselves, which leads us to the active engagement.

Active Engagement: This is where students get to try out the strategy that I just taught them. I ask them to read the third excerpt and try the strategy on their own. Since we are working on Theme, they are supposed to identify the story’s message and write their thoughts on the corresponding page in the packet. I give the students a few minutes then call on someone to share.

Link to Ongoing Work: During this portion of the mini-lesson, I give the students a task that they will focus on during Independent Reading time. Now that they’ve practiced Theme, I tell them that during Independent Reading, their job is to finish the last excerpt in the packet. I want to give them one last opportunity to practice the strategy with text that I’ve chosen before they apply it to a text of their choice, which will happen the next day. This task is short and sweet so the students know that once it is completed, they read from their browsing box for the remainder of Independent Reading time. At the end of Reader’s Workshop, they will meet with their assigned reading partner to discuss what they wrote in the packet. I remind them that I will randomly choose a few students to share so that they make sure to complete their task.
