Use this LOW PREP resource to give your students targeted practice on the 8th grade ELA Reading: Literature and Reading: Informational Text Common Core or LAFS standards.
This is a bundle containing ALL 17 of my Continuous Improvement Model (CIM) lessons for 8th grade Reading: Literature and Reading: Informational Text Common Core standards: RL.8.1, RL.8.2, RL.8.3, RL.8.4, RL.8.5, RL.8.6, RL.8.7, RL.8.9, RI.8.1, RI.8.2, RI.8.3, RI.8.4, RI.8.5, RI.8.6, RI.8.7, RI.8.8 and RI.8.9.
NOTE: Because of how Florida re-aligned their standards, these lessons are ALL appropriate for the LAFS.8.RL and LAFS.8.RI standards.
You are saving about 25% by purchasing this bundle instead of each individual resource.
The file is a zip containing all the CIMs.
All the lessons follow the research-based "model-guide-assess" method of instruction. All CIMs use literature appropriate for 8th-grade students.
Each CIM has 3 lessons designed to take approximately 10 minutes each. Many teachers find these work well for bell work. Some CIM lessons have slightly longer texts and will take 15-20 minutes. These are noted in the individual preview files and CIMs. Please note the preview doesn't contain the preview for all 17 CIMs due to file size restrictions.
Each CIM contains a teacher script for the "I do" and "We do" lessons to help walk students through the cognitive process of determining the correct answer. Each CIM also has a table of contents linked to corresponding pages in the document, as well as suggestions for differentiation, collaboration, and extension.
The questions can be used as multiple choice or short/extended response questions.
This resource is a .zip containing separate files. Most CIMS have 3 separate PDF documents: the teacher version (with script), student version without answer choices (open-response), and student version with answer choices (multiple-choice). Some CIMs have a 4th PDF document that has lines provided to write the extended responses. Please note that I am going through and updating each CIM so all have this 4th component. When I have finished, you will be notified and can download the updated resource free of charge. In all CIMs, the teacher version also has pages for displaying the questions (both with and without answer choices, depending on how you choose to teach) and daily excerpts. Student versions may be printed, copied, and distributed as necessary for the purchasing teacher's classroom.
All the CIMs are in .pdf format.
To determine if this bundle is right for you, I encourage you to download my CIM for RL.6.1, which is a freebie. Although it is for a different grade level, the style and quality are consistent with the 8th-grade CIM lessons in this resource:
