Lesson #18
RATIONALE Students have previously summarized Little Red Riding Hood and applied the feminist perspective to this tale. They have rewritten the tale and read, or started to read, a feminist version of the story by Angela Carter. On Thursday, they practiced getting into Lit Circle groups and discussing quotes. They finished this work on Monday and prepared questions to pose to their group today. Today, they will meet and discuss the story and make sense of it from a feminist perspective.
PROCEDURES
OPENER Students will be directed to sit with their LC groups as they come in; groups will be shown on the PB. They will be asked to open the Edmodo Do Now quiz. I will introduce image pairs for each of the remaining review vocab words on the PB and ask students to answer either A or B on the quiz depending on which image best represents the meaning of the word. They will submit their quiz and may ask me to review any word they had trouble with.
BODY OF THE LESSON I will call on the sharer from each group to share their groups answers to a selection of questions about the two quotes, which will be shown on the PB. Hopefully students will direct this, but it will also give me a chance to comment on any obvious misunderstandings of the quote or story before they begin their group tasks. I will then review the agenda for the group work. I expect this work to take longer than the period, but I will assess as we go and students might be given time on Wednesday to finish this work. I will mark group participation points as they work on a rubric and answer questions as needed while directing groups to work through the story on their own as much as possible.
CLOSURE Students will be reminded to complete these assignments and be prepared for their group work the next day.
ACCOMODATIONS Students will work in groups and individually. 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 The Edmodo quiz will be graded. Their question assignment will receive a group grade, and they will get participation points for their group work.
