NTEQ LESSON PLAN LESSON TITLE: ADVENTURES IN NONFICTION SUBJECT AREA(S): ENGLISH 10 GRADE LEVEL: 10TH LESSON SUMMARY Students need to be skilled readers of nonfictional texts. To do so students should understand that background knowledge may be necessary to understand and comprehend many nonfictional texts. Today’s lesson will prepare students to read a nonfictional text and, because of prior knowledge done through research, make connections to the texts to improve comprehension. Students will collaboratively research information on Mount Everest and/or climbing Mount Everest before reading the nonfiction text Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this lesson, the students will: Using a PC/ cellular device complete guided question stems collaboratively and present their findings to the class using either Power Point/ Prezi with at least 80% accuracy. Have the background knowledge needed to better comprehend and make connections to the reading selection.

RESULTS PRESENTATION Students will collaboratively present their findings to the class and assess their peer’s comprehension of information presented. MULTIDIMENSIONAL ACTIVITIES Briefly describe the lesson activities. Begin with the Lesson Introduction or how you will introduce the problem and how you will address prerequisite skills, share learning objectives, and provide needed information. As you describe the computer activities, please include what students need to do before they go the computers, while they are at the computers, and what they do after they finish computer work. Descriptions of the supporting activities follow the computer activities. This form has space for three computer and three supporting activities. When you design your lesson, include the appropriate number of each for your particular lesson. After these activities are planned, describe the Culminating Activity, or how main ideas will be reviewed and/or final presentations given. When these components are planned describe the rotation plan – how will students rotate between the activities.
