Web Page lesson plans Week 11, 2012, October 15 - 19, 2012, Charlotte Bumgardner
My plan this week is to continue parts of speech up with the parts of speech and the structure of the sentence the first week back from fall break and hopefully have a summative assessment on Friday October 19.
We will begin our unit on Edgar Allan Poe.
Learning Targets:
- I can analyze an author’s words and determine the textual evidence that most strongly supports both explicit (word for word) and inferential (reading between the lines/implied,)We will focus on mood, tone
- I can use and understand new vocabulary.
- I can show that I have mastered the eight parts of speech
- I can recognize the difference between a dependent and an independent clause
- I can recognize pronouns, interjections, and conjunctions.
- My students are to be reading independently at all times;
- Word of the Week: Epiphany noun, To suddenly understand a concept (Ex. While viewing the video on Edgar Allan Poe’s life, I suddenly had an epiphany concerning the dark mood of his writings. His own life was extremely dark and depressing from childhood until death.)
Literary Terms of the Week: mood, tone, plot/Freytag’s pyramid (continued
