Reading/Critical Thinking Objectives:
- Identify basic elements of the plot (beginning, middle, end)
- Identify setting.
- Introduce foreshadowing through characterization and setting.
- Read for details/answer comprehension questions; teacher model re-reading techniques for context clues.
- Make inferences based on common knowledge as well as on repetive details in the text.
- Introduce lexical textual analysis as a basic building block of understanding imagery.
- Point View: class discussion. Who is telling the story? How would the story change if someone else would tell the story? Is it a first person narrative or an omniscient author?
Writing Objectives/Collaborative Learning:
- Class creates a sun characterization chart of main character. Students use this opportunity to collaborate with each other and the teacher and learn how organize information graphically.
- Creative writing: students re-write the story from another character's point of view. They have to conform to the same basic plot and setting and create at least one dialogue.
