Using SEI Strategies in a SIOP Lesson Plan
Everyone knows the classic fairytale of Cinderella but does everyone know the same version or just the popular Disney version. In this lesson we look at two different versions of Cinderella and compare their similarities and differences. Students will be able to compile a new list of vocabulary words in their very own Story Journal while working with their fellow classmates.
Discovering the Differences Lesson Plan
This lesson plan is to be carried on in a five day sequence. One version of the story will be read on the day one and the second version on day two. Before beginning this lesson it is important to make sure that all materials are ready for the lesson. Premade booklets that contain blank sheets and word journal forms should be bound together for each student in the class. Because a portion of this lesson is done in groups it is best to select your groups at this time; remember to group the children in appropriate levels or appropriate mixed levels. For the vocabulary portion of the lesson look over both stories and pull key words that can be used for both stories dividing them into vocabulary sections for each book and vocabulary words used in comparing; make sure words are not repeated for this portion.
Day 1
Start the lesson by reviewing what the students will be learning during this week. Ask the students questions on what they know about the fairytale Cinderella. Some questions that can be asked to the students are:
- Who has heard of the story Cinderella?
- Who would like to share what they might know about the story?
- Does anyone know any different versions of Cinderella? Where did they come from?
Explain to the class that you will be reading two different versions of the story this week and ending with the Disney classic of Cinderella on Friday after they have finished their lesson. Start off with reading the story The Glass Slipper. After finishing the story review vocabulary words from story and have children relate a picture to the word in their personal Story Journal. After covering vocabulary words for The Glass Slipper have the students turn to a blank page in their Story Journals and draw a picture that relates to the story they just heard. Wrap up lesson by having the children returning to their desks and collecting their Story Journal.
Day 2
Start off with reviewing the story from the day before. Ask what their opinions are about The Glass Slipper. Now explain to them that we are now going to read another version of Cinderella called The Princess and the Golden Shoes. Read the story The Princess and the Golden Shoes. After finishing the story review vocabulary words from story and have children relate a picture to the word in their personal Story Journal. After covering vocabulary words for The Princess and the Golden Shoes have the students turn to a blank page in their Story Journals and draw a picture that relates to the story they just heard. Wrap up lesson by having the children returning to their desks and collecting their Story Journal.
Day 3
Start lesson with having student gather into their assigned groups. Pass out one sheet of chart paper and an assortment of markers to each group. Instruct students to not touch the materials till instructed. On the white board go over what a pictorial input chart is. Write a few examples from the stories that have been read over the last few days. Instruct students to work as a group to come up with similarities and differences from both of the stories. Remind them that the information is to come from the stories read and not from any other version. Give student 15-20 minutes to work on their charts. Wrap up by having the students turn in the charts and markers and returning to their desks.
Day 4
Prior to the start of the lesson hand the charts on a wall in the classroom or on the white board. Start lesson with a review of the two stories and the activities that have been completed in the past few days. Have groups come up one-by-one and present their chart to the class having each student take turns on reading and/or explaining the information on the chart. When all groups have completed their presentations review some of the information on the charts that the students have completed expressing how each group got similar and different information. Keep charts up for rest of week.
Day 5
Start lesson with a review of what has been covered over the past week. Review some of the vocabulary words and their meanings by calling on student to give definitions of words you read. Review some of the information from the charts hanging on the walls. Give the opening lesson about 10 minutes.
Have the students either gather on the floor or stay at their desks. Start the Disney version of the movie Cinderella reminding the children to keep their volume down during the movie and to still follow the class rules. Once movie has ended have children return to their desks. Discuss with the students if there were any differences or similarities to the movie they just watched and the stories that were read during the week; writing the information on the white board.
Hand out to the students their Story Journals. Instruct the students to draw on one of the blank pages a picture that represents the Disney version of Cinderella. Give students about 10 minutes to draw and color their pictures. Once students are done have them hand their journals in. Ask students what they have learned from this lesson. Express to the students how well they did during this week with the lesson.
Conclusion & Overview
This lesson will help teach the students the differences and similarities of well-known stories. Their vocabulary along with the meanings of the words will help them increase their knowledge of certain words that they might know now or may be hearing for the first time. Incorporating some of the vocabulary words that have been introduced can be incorporated in the next few lessons; scaffolding into the next few lessons.
Either each month or for the rest of this month same lesson can be repeated using different fairytales. Try switching group participates around so that everyone has a chance to work with each other. At the end of multiple lessons or a single lesson students can write their own version of the base story at the end of their Story Journals.
