The following lesson was submitted by Kayla Augustus, 6th grade, Pre-AP Reading:

For the warm up: I would have the class look in the newspaper and find 2 short stories that are somewhat alike depending on the title that also has a picture. Read them both and write down 1 difference about which one of the stories is most important in the economy or in the community. Then write down 2 things that are the same in both stories. One of the similarities would have to do with it's lead topic the second similarity would be about the picture's angle. Then if some students did it on the same stories then I would pair them up and let them pair and share with each other's answers.


For the class work: I would have the class read a story in the paper of their choice. I would give them a sheet of notebook paper. Then I would have the students write a report on why they read that selection and after reading that story in the newspaper would you make that your favorite selection why or why not.
