**COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND REHABILITATION **  **LESSON PLAN FORMAT **      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 participate in a discussion regarding major events in the novel. Discussion topics will include what emotions were evoked, and from which scenes? And, why were these scenes included if they evoked such strong emotions? After this students will break up into pairs for a three minute interview. I will assess them on participation in both the discussion and in the interview.   Students will be given the opportunity to fill out a self evaluation detailing how they feel that they participated in the day’s activities. Students will also be assessed on their ongoing blog which will detail events in the novel that evoked emotions and why. They will continue throughout the unit with this blog and will see the progress that they make with their emotions. <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";">Students will be paired up into 3 minute interview pairs. They will get into these pairs by drawing an emotion from a hat. (These emotions will be taken from the How Are You? Poster, cut up, and two of each will be put in a hat.) When the activity begins, the pairs will be given the opportunity to move into their own space, and begin the interview. Each member of the pair will be responsible for filling out his/her own describing wheel in order to answer the questions of which events were the most feeling provoking, and why they were included if they were such feeling provoking agents. <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";"> <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.

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 pairs are discussing 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 information that is relevant to discussions. Finally, I will check for thorough understanding of the lesson in the ongoing blog that will begin after it is assigned in this class. <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 have students learn from the reading, the discussion and group activity, as well as in the blog entries. Students will be able to look into their own feelings and see how a novel can affect them. Students will be able to make connections between events and their emotions and be able to justify whether or not something should have been included in the novel. The group work will show students that they are all in possession of emotions and a novel can evoke many that can be different from person to person. <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";">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. Students will receive comments on the blog from their peers. They will see that their peers think either the same or differently from them. I will give students feedback on their blogs in a private setting. This will connect to when the students look at how the characters’ emotions initiate change. I will give students their self evaluations the following class with notes about how they in class and if there is anything that they should work on for the next meeting. = =

 * //<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development. //**
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rationale **<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">: Students will be able to use a variety of resources during class. Not only will they use the novel, they will see the internet used to watch the youtube video. The internet will be used once again out of class when each student is working on the ongoing blog about events in the book. Students will have the opportunity to use the describing wheel to organize thoughts from class and from their own feelings. Students will have time to work both alone and in groups. Students will analyze how the author thought in her process of writing events and which emotions she wanted to evoke out of each reader. Students will be included and will be expected to respect their peers, the feelings of themselves and others, and create an environment that is safe and comfortable.
 * //<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">• Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students,  curriculum goals, and learning and development theory. //**
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rationale **<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">: Students will understand that one event can cause several different emotional reactions and each person may react differently to the same situation. Students must understand that their own personal histories color how other events (real or fictional) cause them to feel. Students will understand that they are not always going to be able to see eye to eye with peers when it comes to feelings because they are strong emotions that need not be justified.
 * //<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">• Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs. //**
 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rationale **<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">: **Verbal:** Students will be able to voice their feeling and opinions in writing and in speech.

 * <span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rationale **<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">: Students will participate in class discussion, fill in a graphic organizer, and participate in group work. Students will have to explain themselves and how their feeling affected them throughout the reading of the novel. Students will fill out a self evaluation detailing the extent of their participation in the activities. Students will then be required to start a blog regarding each of the readings and any events that trigger emotions, and why the event made the reaction occur.
