Lesson Steps

Introduction (10 minutes):

Start the class by discussing the importance of reading comprehension and how it helps us understand and interpret what we read.

Use SoCreate to display a short script. Read it aloud to the class and discuss the main ideas, characters, and events. Discuss the importance of understanding these elements in reading comprehension.

Activity (20 minutes):

Divide the students into small groups and assign each group a different script. Have each group read their script, discuss the main ideas, characters, and events, and create a summary of their script in SoCreate.

Presentation (15 minutes):

Ask each group to present their summary and main ideas to the class. Encourage the rest of the class to ask questions and discuss their peers' summaries.
