Substitute lesson plans are an unwanted necessity for teachers. Every year I put it off until the emergency rears it's ugly head because who has time for that, right?!?!?!? Well this year I dug deep down inside and decided to come up with a lesson that we can get ready and have on hand for when the dreaded emergency arises. If the emergency never arises, I suggest you take a mental health day, (ok say take one even if you have an emergency).
So what's more fun and engaging than a book about monsters? How about a substitute teacher teaching about a substitute teacher monster! You could leave the anchor chart below with the book and even a link to my descriptive video. For social studies the substitute can use the book to set classroom expectations for how to behave when substitute teachers are in the classroom. The substitute can work with the class to find key details and locate the lesson. When the lesson is over students work independently on retelling the story and explaining the lesson in writing. For writing students can write a narrative piece about what they would do if they were changed into a monster. As an added bonus I have written the reading long lesson out along with a graphic organizer. You can find it here. Have you signed up for my newsletter yet?
