This resource includes a _We Beat The Stree_t Text-to-Text Lesson Plan that encourages students to make connections across texts. Students read a non-fiction news article (included in the packet) and connect it to the book We Beat The Street. The lesson focuses on Chapter 3, George's relationship with his third grade teacher, Miss Johnson. Similarly, the news article and video focus on one gang member's positive experience with an influential teacher - like George's teacher, Miss Johnson.

► The link to the news article and video are provided in the lesson plan.

► Students will specifically recognize and compare the similar life-changing actions of the teachers in both the article and the book as well as their impact on the individuals.

✍ Short Response Writing Assignment ✍

In Chapter 3, we learn that Miss. Johnson, George's third grade teacher, has made George feel smart and special. She's one of several people who has motivated and inspired him to look beyond his circumstances, go to college, and become somebody big and important.

This resource includes a differentiated short response writing assignment where students will write about why Miss Johnson is an inspirational person in George's life. They will cite specific evidence from the text to support their responses and analysis. A rubric to score/evaluate your students' responses is included - 2 options to choose from.
