**COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND REHABILITATION **  **LESSON PLAN FORMAT **     Student will understand that traumatic events can change people in variety of ways. Student will know narrative voice, motif, character development, important events. Student will be able to consider the personal history of the main characters and interpret how the events changed the individuals.   Maine Learning Results: English Language Arts A. Reading A2 Literary Texts Grades 9-Diploma: The Color Purple Students read text within a grade appropriate span of text complexity and present analyses of fiction using excerpts from the text to defend their assertations. f. Demonstrate comprehension by evaluating texts using established criteria    Students will be involved in a round robin activity. From the activity, each student must understand each character and how they changed. During the activity students will fill out a t-chart with the character, the event and how the person was before, and after the event. From here, students will use information gathered from the activity to assist with the timeline assignment. I will look over each of the charts to make sure that students are using them appropriately.  <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students will fill out a self evaluation in order to asses themselves and see where they stand after the lesson. Students will participate in class discussions and group activities. Students will react to their peers' ideas during class discussions. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I will break students up into groups that will be made when they draw a character name from a hat. Each group will have between three and four students. Groups will have to use the novel to find events about their character and find instances of how they changed after each. Students will be given between 5 and 7 minutes to confer with their group. When students have completed the group work, they will elect a spokesperson from the group that will share to the class. Every student will jot down the examples for each character. This can be used for when they make their Inspiration Timeline. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I will review students' IEPs, 504s, or ELLIDEPs, and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations.

Students will also have the chance to consider that this will be especially helpful when they begin the webquest process. If they save the notes they have taken from this class, there will be minimal work needed in order to complete the research portion of the project. If some students are having trouble understanding scenes from the novel, I will give students the option of having some class time to do improv games. I will have students play the game Half Life. In this game, I will pair a student that fully understands the novel with a student that is struggling. They will first be given 1 minute to act out a scene after the minute, I will call “half life” and they have 30 seconds to act out the same scene. I will then call “half life” giving them 15 seconds to act out the same scene. I will call “half life” two more times, giving them 7 seconds and 3.5 seconds to act out the scene. This will help students learn to pick out important details so they may be spit out quicker, and also show the students that have a lesser grasp become more confident with the plot. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Laptops (with wireless service) <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rescue 911 video <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1oSJ7rbQl4 <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> t-chart <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Self evaluation <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Assignment sheet <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Assignment checklist Paper Pens/Pencils <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">t-chart <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rescue 911 clip: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1oSJ7rbQl4 <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Substitute Resources: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Overview: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/purple/summary.html <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Key facts: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/purple/facts.html <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Character list: <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/purple/characters.html <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">These resources along with the chapter summaries will give you the material needed to teach this lesson.

I will sit in a desk so students can be on the same level and look at me as more of a peer or a colleague. While the groups are interacting I will mill around the room pointing out different directions of thinking. This will help students further their discussion and learn new things. I will check for understanding in a number of ways. First I will notice how they participate in the class discussion. This will tell me if they are prepared (in that they have read the book) and whether or not they understand what has happened in the novel thus far. I will check once again through the group activity, to see if they are contributing plausible events and if they are actively participating and finding evidence from the novel. Finally, I will check for thorough understanding when they hand in their Inspiration timeline. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I will have students learn from the reading, the discussion and group activity, as well as in the Inspiration timeline. Students will be able to look at the emotions of characters and how they change after each of the traumatic experiences. I will group my students by having them draw character names from a hat and the named groups will meet and explore the character whose name they received. When the time is up, students will stay with their groups, and they will go over the events and characters they explored. A spokesperson from each group will have to speak and explain to the character they explored. This will give each student more substance for the Inspiration timeline and will eventually help with the work they will do for the webquest. <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Students will have a chance to fill out a self evaluation of their participation. This will give me a better scope of how students feel that they are doing compared with what I believe them to be doing. I will give students feedback on the collage. They will get this between 1-2 classes after they hand in the assignment. I will give students their self evaluations the following class with notes about how they did in class and if there is anything that they should work on for the next meeting. = =
 * Absent Students: **<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> If students are absent from the class, students will be responsible for seeing me or another student to retrieve information from the class missed. If students will have an extended absent, arrangements must be made with me in order to have word sent home for the duration of the absence. If students do not make arrangements, they must arrange a meeting with me in order to decide on a plan as to when any missed work will be completed.
