3. The Lesson

three days, depending on the needs of the students.
The Main Strategies utilized for the total lesson are:
1- Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
2- Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition
3- Summarization and Note-Taking
4- Cooperative Learning
5-Homework and Practice
Other learning strategies used: Similarities and
Differences, modeling, cues, reciprocal teaching,
think-aloud, graphic organizers, etc.

6. Focus Lesson:
“I notice how it takes a lazy man, a man that hates moving, to get set on moving once he does get
started off, the same as when he was set on staying still, like it aint the moving he hates so much as
the starting and the stopping. And like he would be kind of proud of whatever come up to make the
moving or the setting still look hard. He set there on the wagon hunched up, blinking, listening to us
tell about how quick the bridge went and how high the water was, and I be durn if he didn't act like
he was proud of it, like he had made the river rise himself.”
― William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying
“You can’t get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.”
--Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises
“There, darling. Now you’re all clean inside and out. Tell me. How many people have you ever
loved?”
“Nobody.”
“Not even me?”
“Yes, you.”
“How many others really?”
“None.”
“How many have you—how do you say it?—stayed with?”
“None.”
“You’re lying to me.”
“Yes.”
“It’s all right. Keep right on lying to me. That’s what I want you to do. Were they pretty?”
- Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
7. Guided Instruction(“We Do it”): Day One
Whole Group:
• Teacher will pass out note handout and students will identify a list of
literary elements that are important to both writers examples
• Class will work together to develop a rubric of elements of a unique
literary style that will be written on the whiteboard.
Small Group:
• Students will transfer their notes into a Venn Diagram to find Similarities
and Differences in Style & Historical Background:
Hemingway Faulkner
8. Collaborative Learning (“You do it together”):
Day One
Groups of Four (chosen by students) will meet and chose an
author for their group to research for class the next day. They
must agree upon One work to retrieve excerpts from. Each
student must bring in an excerpt from the book the next day for
homework.
Reciprocal Teaching: Have the students communicate and
decide who will be the…
Summarizer: summarize the author’s style
Predictor: make predictions on what historical elements
influenced the writing style
Questioner: come up with questions about the style and theme
of the text
Clarifier: Come prepared with research to clarify questions that
arise the next day.
Have the summarizer write a few sentences describing why the
group has chosen their author. The teacher will walk around
collecting these and reinforcing effort and providing feedback.
9. Independent Tasks (“You Do it Alone”): Day One
Practice Task: Homework:
Students will •Research
write the first groups author
sentence of a •Bring in an
short story excerpt
based up this
image •Complete
delegated
task for class
the next day.

10. Rubrics & Assessments Day One
The student created Rubric with elements of
style should include:
Clear Tone
Consistent Theme
Strong Mood
Strong Rhetoric
Etc. (Guide your class through this process)
11. Learning Strategies for Day One
Setting Objectives and Providing Feedback
Modeling in the Focus Lesson
Note-Taking
Similarities and Differences
Collaborative Learning
Reciprocal Teaching
Reinforcing Effort and Providing Recognition
Homework and Practice
12. Focus Lesson (“I Do It”):Day two
Flannery O’Connor
J.K. Rowling William Shakespeare
George Orwell Mark Twain
13. Guided Instruction(“We Do it”): Day Two
The Whole Class: The teacher passes back each
students focus lesson sentence and puts his or her
sentence from the focus lesson on the board:
“Worn-out sneakers in an old abandoned house haunted the
memories of little Jackie Lane.”
The teacher then shows the students how to model
the sentence by copying the parts of speech:
Modeling:
“Fresh flowers in a crystal glass vase fills the room of sweet Sally
Mae.”
14. Collaborative Learning (“You do it together”):
Day Two
The Collaborative Groups from
yesterday will meet and agree upon one
excerpt to share with the class.
The summarizer will write a sentence of
the excerpt on the board and will share
with the class three characteristic
elements of the authors style.
15. Independent Tasks (“You Do it Alone”): Day Two
Practice Task: The students will then pick a
sentence from the board to model on their
focus lesson paper. They will rewrite their
sentence in the style of the other author.
They will work independently and upon
completion will come to the teachers desk for
a mini-conference. They will verbally note to
the teacher the differences in style from their
original sentence to the new sentence they
have created.
This is the teacher’s opportunity to provide
specific and timely feedback.
16. Rubrics & Assessments Day
Two/Three
The Rubric, still posted on the board, will
assist students in their final assessment of
the unit.
A sample passage will be passed out to the
students, they are then asked to analyze the
style of the passage in reference to the rubric.
They must provide justification for their
statements. This will be graded and passed
back as timely as the teacher can.
17. Learning Strategies for Day Two
Modeling
Collaborative Learning
Specific and Timely Feedback
Reciprocal Teaching
Independent Practice
18. Reflections on Student Learning
I am not currently teaching and therefore I
reflect on student learning in the
following ways:

Notas del editor
The framework's components are as follows: . Focus lesson: The teacher establishes the lesson's purpose and models his or her own thinking for students to illustrate how to approach the new learning. . Guided instruction: The teacher strategically uses assessment-informed prompts, cues, and questions to guide students to increasingly complex thinking and facilitate students' increased responsibility for task completion. . Collaborative learning: The teacher designs and supervises tasks that enable students to consolidate their thinking and understanding 預 n d that require students to generate individual products that can provide formative assessment information. . Independent tasks: The teacher designs and supervises tasks that require students to apply information they have been taught to create new and authentic products. This phase of the instructional framework is ideal for the "spiral review" that so many educators know their students need, and it is a way to build students' confidence by allowing them to demonstrate their expanding competence.
The Students are shown this in order to understand the focus and purpose of the lesson.
Both are American Writers, Both Nobel Prize Winners, Friends and Rivals…
(Modeling) (Note-Taking) The slide is a teacher led note handout that will be passed out after the focus lesson. The teacher will go through and demonstrate the various ways in the style is characteristic to the particular author. How the rhetoric and style effects tone, mood, setting etc.
They may consult each other in order to complete the diagram and should reference elements of the rubric that was constructed on the board.
Reciprocal teaching model, Homework, Goal of this Collaborative session is to pick an author, provide justification for that choice, and prepare for the homework assignment.
This will be turned into the teacher as the students leave the classroom.
The teacher should show passion and excitement for getting to know these authors, there should be some images and excerpts from the authors chosen by the groups the previous day. The teacher will share some interesting facts about the authors.
Replacing adjectives with adjectives, etc. The students are asked to bring their sentence to their collaborative groups.
The students will meet with their group for 15 minutes to gather their results and write their best excerpt on the board. The summarizer of each group will share three main points about the authors style.
