Lesson Plan of Discussion Text (Reading)

LESSON PLAN

Heny Astuti, S.Pd.

Reading – Viewing By the end of Phase F, students read and respond to various texts such as narratives, descriptions, expositions, procedures, arguments, and discussions independently. They read to learn something, and read for pleasure. They search for, synthesize, and evaluate specific details and the core of various types of texts. These texts can be printed or digital, including visual, multimodal, or interactive texts. They demonstrate understanding of main ideas, issues, or plot developments in various texts. They identify the author’s purpose and make inferences to understand implied information in the text.

• identify the main idea of a discussion text;
• recognize the detailed information in a discussion text;
• understand vocabulary specific to a discussion text, including key terms and phrases, synonym/antonym of words used within the context of the text;
• identify the references in a discussion text;
• make inferences from a discussion text.
