Learning Outcomes (What do you want the students to learn in this lesson? i.e. what new
Knowledge/understandings, Skills, Values and attitudes will they be able to demonstrate?)
Students are learning different skills to assist them when reading and completing comprehension
work. This particular group of students will be working on their fluency when reading. They will be
working on their expression when reading in different contexts, focusing on punctuation such as
quotation marks and full stops, and ensuring they are taking a breath when needed. Students will
also be using their comprehension skills to complete an activity and gain understanding of the
book, what message the author is trying to convey, and what the book is about.
Links to curriculum (use appropriate curriculum framework e.g. AusVELS,
Victorian/Australian curriculum)
-Discuss texts in which characters, events and settings are portrayed in different ways, and
speculate on the authors reasons. (Australian Curriculum).
-Read an increasing range of different types of texts by combining contextual, semantic,
grammatical and phonic knowledge, using text processing strategies, for example monitoring,
predicting, confirming, rereading, reading on and self-correcting. (Australian Curriculum).
-Use comprehension strategies to build literal and inferred meaning and begin to evaluate texts by
drawing on a growing knowledge of context, text structures and language features. (Australian
Curriculum).

Learning Activities
What strategies will the
students be engaged in to
achieve the learning
outcomes?
How will you cater for a
diversity of learning needs?
Students will then read two pages each of the book. I will observe
the students use of different expression and punctuation skills
when reading the book. If students are not using these skills, I will
remind them of this by asking them questions.
Once students have read the book as a group, we will then discuss
what the book is about, asking them to summarise it for me.
