This DFY (Done for You) Plan focused on plants and labels builds knowledge and boosts comprehension.
When you follow this five day plan, you'll use Pumpkin Jack and How a Seed Grows to build your students understanding of plants including how they grow, the parts of a plant, and a plant's lifecycle.
Then you'll focus on determining important information in both books to help students understand how readers can use the same strategy for both fiction and nonfiction text.
Last, you'll build your students' nonfiction know-how by focusing on labels and how they are used in nonfiction text.
