After selecting your game, it’s time to download your lesson plans! To access these resources from the Activities page, hover over the Supporting Resource of your choice and select the item you wish to view or download. As an alternative to this method, you can click on any game tile to reach the corresponding series page and find lessons from there.

Prepare

Each game provides you with a Prepare mini-lesson complete with Google worksheets for students. Each Prepare mini-lesson explores specific vocabulary or concepts to prepare students for the challenges they will face as the boss of their virtual workplace.

Play

You will find the Student Completion Certificate and Game Answer Key in the Play section of each game.

Discuss

In the Discuss section, you are provided with Discussion and Debate prompts, along with sample answers that will help your students reinforce their comprehension and reflect on the decisions they made in each game.

Introductory Lessons

Click on the Introductory Lessons tab from the series page to view several lesson plans that help kick off the Read to Lead program. We recommend implementing these activities before your students play the game or within the first week of gameplay. Some of the lessons focus on introducing students to the career and industry they will explore, and others focus on practicing 21st-century skills like problem-solving and decision-making. Each lesson lasts for 45 minutes. Your students will have access to the worksheets for each lesson in their Read to Lead accounts.

Literacy Skill-Building Lessons

In the Literacy Skill-Building Lessons tab, you will find reading skill-practice lessons that reinforce CCRA standards addressed in the games. You will also find 16 Close Reading lessons featuring a speech, essay, or article that provides students an opportunity to practice analyzing complex, primary source texts and give the educator a chance to model fluency for their students.

Enrichment Projects

Click on the Enrichment Projects tab to access three projects that help students practice and apply their leadership skills to benefit their communities. Each project includes 6-10 guided lesson plans to get students passionate about an issue in their community. These projects can be implemented during or after any series you decide to play. You have access to both the lesson plans and the worksheets, and your students will see only the worksheets in their Read to Lead account.
