LESSON 2
Reading Comprehension
Instructional Goal
Students will practice the reading strategy of Making Predictions based on visual clues and prior knowledge while reading Chapter 1 of 'Jane Goodall and the Chimpanzees of Gombe'.
The Leveled Approach
Level 1: Emergent
Heavy visual support. Matching icons to words. Simple 2-choice predictions (Run vs Stay Still).
Level 2: Target
Standard reading comprehension. Prediction table requiring evidence. Literal recall questions.
Level 3: Advanced
Analytical focus. Explaining environment impact. Analyzing complex emotions and character traits.
Facilitation Steps
1
Anchor Activity (Slides 2-4)
Use the "Mystery Mix" to teach prediction. Remind students that they are making a good guess based on what they already know about baking.
2
Environment & Vocab (Slides 6-7)
Deep dive into Forest vs Jungle . Ask students why Jane might prefer the jungle even if it is more dangerous.
3
Interactive Reading (Slides 8-18)
Page 5-7: Contrast Jane's small size (90 lbs) with the chimp's power.Suspense (Slide 13): Use the charge as a primary prediction break.Dangers: Discuss the buffalo and snakes. Note that the mosquito caused the most harm (Page 11).
4
Reflect & Practice (Slides 19-20)
Discuss bravery before transitioning to worksheets. Level 3 students should lead the discussion on "was it worth it?"
Differentiation Tip
Level 1 Support: Use the "Jungle Match" game as a warm-up. Let them hold the emoji cards while you read those specific sections.Level 3 Extension: Ask them to predict what Jane would have done if the chimp *didn't* turn away. Does her dream change her level of risk?
