Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson, students will be able to read closely in order to follow multi-step instructions correctly. Students will watch the instructor model how to read instructions closely and make inferences related to following instructions for trade jobs. Then students will work with a partner to read instructions closely and answer text-dependent questions. Next, students will read closely and answer questions independently. Finally, students will work in teams to read closely and follow multi-step instructions in order to build popsicle houses.

Student Target

“I can read closely in order to answer questions about multi-step instructions.”
