Vos élèves exploreront la stratégie d'activer leurs connaissances préalables (schéma) et apprendront à intégrer cette stratégie dans leur lecture. Ce document couvre 6 leçons complètes d'atelier de lecture, des affiches, des activités et des organisateurs graphiques pour continuer cette stratégie.

⁕⁕ Please see the preview for a full view of this document, with details in English. These descriptions and this product are entirely in French. ⁕⁕

Dans cette ressource, vous découvrirez 38 diapositives de contenu adaptées à vos grands élèves. Pas de polices mignonnes ou ridicules. Pas de cliparts enfantins. Pas de mots croisés ou d'activités de remplissage. Je vais droit au but et vous donne tout ce dont vous avez réellement besoin pour progresser.

• 7 organisateurs graphiques pratiques (à utiliser avec ces leçons ou séparément)
• 3 tableaux d'ancrage (à imprimer ou à utiliser comme affiches numériques pour les activités)
• 8 textes modèles (Pas besoin de chercher des lectures partagées dans votre bibliothèque. Ils sont tous ici ! Beaucoup sont accompagnés de questions de compréhension ou d'activités sur fiches. Ce document signifie que vous n'avez besoin d'aucun autre texte.)
• 6 mini-leçons (Je vais même jusqu'à écrire vos paroles et vous fournir tous les exemples, questions de guidage, et prompts pour vous garder sur la bonne voie !)

Voici les stratégies que je couvre dans cette ressource de 38 pages :

• Se servir de connaissances préalables (Les élèves découvriront comment connecter leurs lectures à ce qu'ils savent déjà grâce à des pratiques modelées et partagées, des affiches et des organisateurs graphiques pour organiser leurs pensées.)
• Comment activer mes connaissances (Les élèves découvriront comment connecter des expériences émotionnelles pour empathiser, sympathiser et comprendre les textes grâce à des pratiques modelées et partagées, des affiches et des organisateurs graphiques pour organiser leurs pensées.)
• Activer nos connaissances antérieures (Les élèves découvriront comment utiliser les indices du texte, tels que les titres, sous-titres et images pour se connecter avant de commencer leur lecture grâce à des pratiques modelées et partagées, des affiches et des organisateurs graphiques pour organiser leurs pensées.)
• La tempête d'idées (Les élèves apprendront la stratégie d'utiliser un réseau de brainstorming pour puiser dans leurs connaissances préalables avec l'aide d'une affiche et d'un script.)
• La tempête d'idées à pied (Les élèves travailleront en groupes dans cette activité kinesthésique en rond pour construire des connaissances préalables grâce à la discussion et à la collaboration.)
• La stratégie P-P-P (Les élèves travailleront en petits et grands groupes pour penser, pairer, partager et co-créer le sens et la compréhension d'un concept avant de se plonger dans une lecture, et après.)

Planifier des mini-leçons efficaces nécessite beaucoup de temps et d'efforts pour créer des affiches, des textes modèles, des exemples, rédiger vos petites lectures partagées sur des post-it et planifier des activités de différenciation. Cette ressource couvrira tout cela pour vous pendant deux semaines. Alors détendez-vous et profitez de la conduite d'une mini-leçon tout en regardant vos élèves adorer le cours de français

  • Compare and contrast perspectives.
  • Develop their own informed opinions.

• Alignment with Curriculum: This resource integrates with many Grade 6 literacy outcomes and climate change units. It was paritcularly aimed at the Alberta curriciulum.

Why This Resource Stands Out:

• Encourages Empathy and Global Awareness: By exploring diverse perspectives, students gain a deeper understanding of how climate change impacts people around the world.
• Offers Flexibility: The resource can be adapted for individual work, small group activities, or whole-class discussions.
• Saves You Time: The ready-to-use letters, video, and assignments make it easy to implement this resource in your classroom.

Spark meaningful conversations about climate change and empower your students to become informed, engaged global citizens!

Teaching guided reading in 5th grade is one of the most rewarding aspects of teaching this grade. The standards and text levels are more rigorous than in primary grades, and the students are much more independent. The books they read are more engaging, making the teaching experience enjoyable.

When actively in the classroom, use a flexible approach that promotes student choice and variety, paired with explicit instruction and engaging reading practice. Try to teach reading in a way that promotes discussion and enjoyment of reading.

Focus on three key areas:

1. Learning to Read: Developing or growing skills to decode and comprehend grade-level texts.

2. Reading to Learn: Acquiring the skills needed to extract details and information from a text or story and synthesizing it.

3. Reading to Analyze: Building on reading to learn by focusing on specific skills and then being able to write about them.

This ebook contains a detailed 90-minute lesson plan and activities for your Grade 5 students. Suggested answers are provided as well.
