 * remain focused with ONE explicit teaching point, based around a CCSS - It should start with SWBAT (as you have been in your unit plan)
 * include modeling, through the use of a mentor text (a picture book or other short story for modeling your text factor)
 * have scaffolding - whole group, guided practice and discussion,(which will take approx. 15 minutes in your mini-lesson)
