Lesson #12
RATIONALE Students have been working with Little Red Riding Hood, which is rife with areas to explore using the feminist perspective. After students finish these summaries, they will rewrite the tale in a new way that demonstrates their understanding of the things a feminist would take issue with in the traditional tale. This will in turn form a foundation for them to use to analyze Angela Carter’s retelling of the tale in “The Company of Wolves.”
PROCEDURES
OPENER Students will be instructed to open the Unit 10 Vocab List on Edmodo. I will introduce the next five words, have students repeat the word and share the definition, and then set the timer for 5 minutes while students take the Vocab Do Now quiz on Edmodo.
BODY OF THE LESSON Students will be asked to open “Little Red Riding Hood” on Edmodo (paper copies as needed). Depending on how far we got the previous day: students will be given some time to work on their summaries, possibly sharing their summaries as a group. About half and hour before class ends, I will ask them to open “Fairy Tale Rewrite” on Edmodo and review this assignment on the PB. I will have students read the prompts aloud, then the planning questions. We will look together at Carrie Mae Weem’s Mirror, Mirror as an example, and discuss how and why she created this image. I’ll ask student to identify what’s different and why she made these changes (using the chart!).
CLOSURE Students will be reminded to submit their work to Edmodo. They will be instructed to complete the fairy tale plan over the weekend and bring it to class on Monday, at which time they will receive a rubric and have time to work while I conference with each student about their plan.
ACCOMODATIONS Students will work in individually and as a class. All information presented will be given to them in the handouts as well as on the PB. Information is organized on a graphic organizer for clarity and ease of use.
ASSESSMENT/EVALUATION Student participation in class will be recorded. Their reading summaries will be marked according to the requirements. The Edmodo quiz will grade automatically according to their answers.
