Text #2: "The Stranger" by Sue Baugh (BL)

Reading/Critical Thinking Objectives:
  • Identify basic elements of the plot (beginning, middle, end)
  • Identify setting: plot quotes that define setting and discuss how the setting mirrors the basic plot.
  • Introduce foreshadowing through setting.
  • Read for details/answer comprehension questions
  • Read for main idea
  • Make inferences based on common knowledge as well as on repetive details in the text
  • Make predictions

Writing Objectives/Collaborative Learning:

  • Short answers that include quotes from the text.
  • In groups, create story maps and character charts. Students use this opportunity to create their own way of organizing information graphically.
  • Creative writing: extend the plot; implement setting and characterization as parts of the action.
