The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Novel Study
By A Teachers Sidekick
This is a novel study of C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. In this product, there are completed lesson plans (and a blank one if you need to write your own), a slideshow that includes everything for each chapter (introduction, review of content, copy of the doodle notes, copy of the end of chapter activity/discussion outline, and the closure question), the Doodle Notes outline for each chapter, and the End of Chapter/Discussion activities. This novel study is for 4th-grade to 7th-grade students. **You will need to have read the first book The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe,** before you do this novel study. I have a novel study for the first book also!****
Competed Lesson Plans
Each chapter comes with a completed lesson plan! The lesson plans include an I can statement (Chapter Goal), the materials needed, what students will be doing as a preview to the chapter, what they will be doing during the read, the activity after the chapter, some differentiation ideas, the assessment, and a closure. There is a spot for standards, but I did not include one because of different state standards. They are also all editable! It was made using Google Slides, so that will be the best place to edit the lesson plans.
Doodle Notes/End of Chapter & Discussion Activities
Each chapter comes with doodle notes and an End of Chapter/Discussion Activity. Doodle notes are notes students take that involve more drawing than writing. Students will have a prompt to help them know what to focus on while listening/reading the chapter and what to take notes on. The activities focus on multiple different skills, Central Idea, Supporting Details, Problem/Solution, Cause/Effect, Summaries, Story Elements, Inferences, and more. There are also 8 discussion activities where students will need to work in groups discussing a prompt about the chapter.
Slideshow
To go along with the book, there is a Slideshow that includes an outline for each chapter! It includes what is written in the lesson plans. So there are introduction slides for each chapter, a copy of the doodle notes and chapter activities, and a slide for the closure. The slides are also editable! So if you would like to add/adapt anything to fit your class/lesson better, just open the file in Canva or PowerPoint. I also made a Google Slides File also that is easier to edit on Google Slides, however you cannot edit as much. ***There is a slide, that you will need to edit. It is the “Discussion Expectations” slide. This is because each class will have different expectations for discussions.**
I hope you enjoy it! Please rate and review.

Whole class behavior management PBIS
By Patricia
Whole class behavior management is a cornerstone of effective teaching, especially in elementary and early middle school settings. The "Include Every Student" strategy offers a comprehensive approach to fostering a positive and inclusive classroom environment. This method aligns with Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) principles, emphasizing positive behavior management and creating a supportive learning atmosphere for all students.
Key Components
1. Whole class behavior management
At the heart of the "Include Every Student" strategy is positive behavior management. This approach focuses on recognizing and rewarding positive behaviors rather than solely addressing negative ones. By highlighting and celebrating responsible, respectful, kind, and organized actions, students are motivated to consistently display these behaviors.
2. PBIS Alignment
This strategy integrates seamlessly with PBIS frameworks, making it suitable for schools already implementing these practices. PBIS emphasizes the importance of proactive strategies for defining, teaching, and supporting appropriate student behaviors to create positive school environments. "Include Every Student" supports these goals by providing a structured yet flexible method for encouraging positive behaviors in the classroom.
3. Visual Tracking and Engagement for primary and secondary school
A critical aspect of this strategy is its visual component. Teachers can use a point system displayed on the board to track positive behaviors in real-time. Each time a student exhibits positive behavior, they earn a "smile". This immediate recognition helps students understand the connection between their actions and the rewards they receive, fostering self-awareness and self-regulation.
In addition to individual rewards, recognize collective achievements by awarding the class a "Teacher is Proud" award when the group displays consistent positive behaviors.
1. Enhanced Student Engagement
By actively involving students in the process of tracking their behavior, they become more engaged and invested in their actions. This method encourages them to self-monitor and strive for continuous improvement.
2. Improved Classroom Atmosphere
Positive behavior management contributes to a more harmonious classroom environment. When students are focused on earning rewards for good behavior, disruptions decrease, and the overall atmosphere becomes more conducive to learning.
3. Scalable for Elementary and Middle School
The flexibility of the "Include Every Student" strategy makes it suitable for both elementary and middle school classrooms. The principles of PBIS are universally applicable, and the visual tracking system can be adapted to suit different age groups and developmental stages.
4. Strengthened Home-School Connections
Communicating students' achievements to their parents fosters a positive relationship between home and school. It helps parents understand the efforts made in the classroom and encourages them to reinforce these behaviors at home, creating a consistent support system for the student.
The "Include Every Student" classroom management strategy is a powerful tool for fostering a positive, inclusive, and engaging learning environment. By focusing on positive behavior management and aligning with PBIS principles, this strategy is effective for both elementary and middle school settings. It encourages students to self-monitor, fosters a positive classroom atmosphere, and strengthens home-school connections. Implementing this strategy can lead to a more harmonious and productive classroom where every student feels valued and motivated to succeed.
Adopt the "Include Every Student" strategy in your classroom today and witness the transformative power of positive behavior management!
