Grade 1 Lesson Plans
These exemplar lesson plans showcase best practices for English language arts. These lessons are aligned to the Oklahoma Academic Standards and bundle together multiple objectives to showcase the recursive nature of ELA. Each lesson plan includes helpful explanations about the instructional plan and steps. Teachers can review these sample lessons on their own, with a colleague, and/or with their professional learning community, to reflect on the highlighted ELA practices and how they mesh with their own current classroom practices.
Lesson plans are available for each grade featuring texts from the following genres:
- Fiction
- Nonfiction
- Poetry
Moreover, an exemplar lesson plan sequence regarding Standard 6 research is available for each grade band.
The lesson plans are based on various texts that school districts may or may not include in their curriculum. Teachers should consider their district textbooks and curriculum before implementing any of these lessons in their classrooms. The main purpose of these lesson plans is for teachers to evaluate the structure and strategies present in the lesson and to reflect on their current practice. Teachers could potentially adapt a lesson with a text from their district curriculum.
