Plan a reading lesson for a text. Level and subject: [LEVEL_AND_SUBJECT]. The text (paste it or describe it, and say the approximate reading level): [TEXT_OR_DESCRIPTION]. Objective (for example inference, main idea, author's purpose, vocabulary): [OBJECTIVE]. Time: [TIME]. Class needs: [CLASS_NEEDS].

Create a lesson with these parts:
BEFORE READING: a hook, activating background knowledge, five vocabulary words with student-friendly definitions and a quick strategy for teaching them, and a prediction task.
DURING READING: a reading strategy matched to the objective, three stopping points with text-dependent questions (literal, inferential, evaluative) quoting or citing lines from the text I supplied, and a task for students to record thinking.
AFTER READING: a discussion with sentence stems, a short written response with a success checklist, and a quick check for understanding.
DIFFERENTIATION: supports (graphic organizer, partner reading, glossary) and extension.
ASSESSMENT: a four-level rubric for the written response.

Use only the text I provided for evidence; do not invent quotes. Add a list of common misunderstandings, accessibility considerations (font size, audio, reading time), and a homework option. Provide a one-page student handout.

BEFORE READING: hook - "Would you survive a night alone in a forest?" Vocabulary (5): shelter, instinct, shelter, rely, signal, each with a student definition. Prediction: look at the title and picture.
DURING: stop 1 (paragraph 2) - literal: "What did the writer take with her?" Stop 2 - inferential: "Why does the writer say the night 'stretched'?" Stop 3 - evaluative: "Was her decision wise?"
AFTER: discussion with stems ("I agree because..."); 80-word written response with checklist; exit ticket.
Rubric: four levels for use of text evidence. Differentiation: partner reading, glossary.
