Instructional Ideas
  • Ask a class member to prepare a masterful reading of the portion of the story under study
Classroom Considerations
  • The fifth in a 13-lesson unit that uses Ethan Canin’s short story “The Palace Thief” as an anchor text
  • Some readers may need additional support to keep up with their Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) assignment
Pros
  • The 11-page resource includes a list of the Common Core standards addressed by the lesson, the plan, a vocabulary list, discussion questions with suggested responses, a Quick Write prompt, and a homework assignment
Cons
  • Some class members may be challenged by the sameness in the format of all the lessons in the three-unit module
