Peak Novel Study - With Lesson Plans, Google Slides, and STEM Project

By A Teachers Sidekick

This is a novel study to go along with Roland Smith’s Novel Peak. This product includes completed lesson plans for each chapter, a Google Slide Show for each chapter, Doodle Notes for each chapter, an End of chapter activity for each chapter, and a final STEM project to go with the book. Students will practice making inferences, central idea, supporting details, writing summaries, cause and effect/Problem and solution text structures, research skills, and discussion skills.

A large part of this novel study is discussion-based. I have included a slide on the slideshow where you will put your classroom expectations for discussions. There are also times for the introduction to the chapter, you will start with a whole group discussion. (I would maybe recommend turn and talks if you use groups in your classroom)

The Lesson Plans and Google Slides are editable for you. You can edit them on Google Slides and/or Microsoft Powerpoint (I would recommend Google Slides because that is the app that it was created with). **The standards are not included in the lesson plans due to each state having their own standards**

I hope you enjoy it. Please rate and review!

DESCRIPTION

This resource includes 10 visually appealing ready-to-use graphic organizers to assist your students in finding the main idea and supporting details for any text they read. Some of the graphic organizers are differentiated to help you meet students where they are as well as challenge them. Some graphic organizers include side-notes defining what "Main Idea" and "Supporting Details" mean. Additionally, some graphic organizers require students to write three supporting details, and some require them to write four supporting details.

This resource is also included in Google Slides! Text boxes have already been created to make it easier for you and your students! Each slide includes two instruction solution tabs for when students accidentally delete text boxes and when they want to zoom in (to enlarge worksheets). It's super helpful for students who are not that familiar with how to use Google Slides or need the extra assistance.

The graphic organizers contain breath-taking clip art, borders, and fonts! They will create a visually appealing classroom when you showcase them on bulletin boards!
