Reading Passage: Welcome to Roblox World!

Roblox is a world full of games. You can build anything you can imagine!

You get a special character called an avatar. You can change your avatar to look just like you, or you can make it silly. Give it a cool hat or funny glasses!

In Roblox, you can visit many places. You can race cars in one game. You can take care of cute pets in another. You can even build your own tall tower or cozy house. It is fun to play with friends. You can explore new worlds together. What game will you play today?

Formative Assessment: Quick Question Time!

  • Educator asks: "Great reading! Can you tell me, what is the name of your character in Roblox?" (Answer: an avatar)
  • Educator asks: "What is one fun thing the story said you can do in a Roblox game?" (Answer: race cars, take care of pets, build a house, etc.)

Activity 2: Writing Your Super Sentence (I do, We do, You do)

Success Criteria: Your sentence starts with a capital letter, ends with a period (.), and has finger spaces between the words.

  1. I Do (Modeling):
    • Educator says: "Now you get to be a writer! I'm going to write a sentence about a game I like. Watch me. I'll start with a big capital letter. 'I'. Then I'll use a finger space. 'like'. Finger space. 'to'. Finger space. 'play'. Finger space. 'Adopt Me'. And I'll finish with a period to stop the sentence. '.' My sentence says: I like to play Adopt Me."
    • (Model this on a whiteboard or piece of paper).
  2. We Do (Shared Writing):
    • Educator says: "Okay, let's think of a sentence for you. What is your favorite game? Let's say it out loud." (Example: "I love Brookhaven.")
    • Educator says: "Great! Let’s plan it. What's the first word? 'I'. Does it need a capital or lowercase letter? Right, a capital! What comes after each word? A finger space! What goes at the very end? A period!"
  3. You Do (Independent Writing):
    • Educator says: "Now it's your turn! On your paper, write your own sentence about the Roblox game you love to play. Remember our rules: capital letter, finger spaces, and a period at the end."

Differentiation and Extensions

  • For Extra Support:
    • Reading: Read the entire passage to the student, and have them point to the words. Focus on just one or two sight words.
    • Writing: Provide a sentence starter like "I like _______." or "My game is _______." The student only fills in the blank. They can also dictate the sentence to you, and then they can trace it.
    • Drawing: Provide a simple avatar template or outline for them to color and decorate.
  • For an Extra Challenge:
    • Reading: Ask a "why" question, such as "Why do you think it's fun to play with friends in Roblox?"
    • Writing: Challenge the student to write two sentences. Ask them to add a describing word (adjective), like "I like the fun game Brookhaven."
    • Drawing: Ask them to label parts of their drawing or give their character a name and write it on the page.
