Instructional Ideas
- Ask a class member to prepare a masterful reading of the portion of the story under study
- Distribute the rubric for the mid-unit essay, included in the lesson 7 packet, for class members to review before they begin to write
Classroom Considerations
- The sixth in a 13-lesson unit that uses Ethan Canin’s short story “The Palace Thief” as an anchor text
- In addition to the in-class readings, class members are also responsible for an out-of-class Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) assignment
Pros
- The 12-page packet includes a list of the Common Core standards addressed in the lesson, the plan, a vocabulary list, discussion questions with suggested responses, and the prompt for the next day's mid-term essay
- After a review of the purpose of an essay introduction, class members begin to draft the introductory paragraph in response to the mid-unit assessment prompt
Cons
- None
