<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Common Core Standards

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Content Area: Writing Standards

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Grade Level: 9-10

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Domain: Writing

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Standard: Text Types and Purposes

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Cluster: 3

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Rationale:** These objectives allow students to grow individually as well as with groups. Their understanding of writing should increase.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Assessments__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Formative (Assessment for Learning)__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Section I – checking for understanding during instruction**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Thumbs up, thumbs down to gather a feeling of where the students rate themselves during instruction.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher)** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be able to question or e-mail teacher at any time.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Summative (Assessment of Learning):__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> There will be an analytical checklist that the teacher will assess from.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Integration__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Technology:** The class will be using Tumblr to collect resources.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Content Areas:** Art: Students will try to gather emotions and feelings from the pictures.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Groupings__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will use a describing wheel graphic organizer while looking at their own work, quick work based on their pet or an animal they have known. Soon after they will break into partners. They will discuss to their other partner why the wrote down each of the descriptions they had.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Section II – Groups and Roles for Product**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> This project will not have partners.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Differentiated Instruction__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__MI Strategies__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Verbal:** Students will be able to discuss their ideas with one another, and the partner activity allows partners to work together and discuss previous material.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Visual:** Use pictures on Tumblr to help spark creative interest. Create mini-stories for the pictures (ex. how did this picture come? what happened after? etc).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Musical:** Students can analyze a song and figure out which strategies the writer used for the writing (or what strategies the musicians made on their instrument part and why!).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Intrapersonal:** Think about and write down specific experiences you've had throughout life, and what could be a great story from it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Interpersonal:** I envision the student rubric done in pairs. I feel like a more dynamic answer and evaluation will come through this way. This is in addition to the students working in pairs.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Naturalist:** Students choose either a pet they've had or an animal they've seen. Once this is done, they must create a small story describing that animal's life (or a part of it).

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Modifications/Accommodations__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **//From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan)//** //I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Plan for accommodating absent students:** Wikispaces is available for the students who are absent to see what they are missing. The Tumblr part should be fairly easy to complete at home, as well as the description assignment that goes with it.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Extensions__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Type II technology:** Tumblr - it has a quick picture gather and re-post mechanism-- as well as an ability to write a message with the picture.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Gifted Students:** Gifted students will create the story with background music to fully emote the viewer/reader.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Materials, Resources and Technology__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //List all the items you need for the lesson.//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Teaching and Learning Sequence__ (Describe the teaching and learning process using all of the information from part I of the lesson plan)** //Take all the components and synthesize into a script of what you are doing as the teacher and what the learners are doing throughout the lesson. Need to use all the WHERETO’s. (3-5 pages)//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Day one:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Attendance - 5 minutes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Begin hook. Allow time for students to think for themselves - 10 minutes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Spend 10 minutes going over terms.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students think about a pet or an animal they have seen and come up with a quick story based on the animal and then share the graphic organizer (20 minutes)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Begin the description of the big project with tumblr. I am explaining it early one so students have the chance to work on it in their spare time over the next few days. (10 minutes). The homework piece will be to create the tumblr page and find five pictures.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The last 25 minutes will spent with the music assignment. This assignment is that a student will gather information on a song and describe which strategies were used by the author. Should just be a simple powerpoint or keynote.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Day two:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Attendance (5 minutes
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Present powerpoints and keynotes on the music piece. Should take about 60 minutes.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Even if the presentations last a while, the students will get the rest of the class to find pictures.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Day three:
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Attendance (5 minutes)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">the rest of the class will be presentations, if completed early, allow time to create a story based on their life and then hand it in for extra credit.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Content Notes__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //Develop detailed content notes so a substitute or a colleague can teach your lesson. (2-3 pages)//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will understand that.... in order to write well-developed and engaging narratives, they must use various techniques.//Text Types and Purposes//.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Throughout life, we must have the judgement ourselves to do what is right. We have to be able to judge ourselves and have an idea of our own strengths and weaknesses.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Look at examples throughout writing where unusual events sparked great novel or writing ideas. Use crazy examples. It would be beneficial to include how various musicians got their ideas from real life examples either from their personal life or world events that were going on. Give time to themselves brainstorm any ideas they may have.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Where, What, Why, Tailors:** Musical, Linguistic, Logical, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will know…..how techniques build up and work together, and what makes an engaging read. They will also know terminology (Allegory, Assonance, Alliteration, Denotation, Connotation, Allusion, Analogy, Euphemism, Imagery, Metaphor, Hyperbole, Oxymoron) because we will go over them together with a worksheet. Formative assessment will be used here to help with the students-- thumbs up, thumbs down. I will use this while explaining term definitions so I can get a feeling of how students are doing. Soon after the students will think about pets or an animal they seen (driven by a deer, or watched a squirrel climb a tree). Students will then allow the this animal to be part of a quick story they come up with, while possibly identifying literary devices used. Partners are allowed, but the story should be twice as long and incorporate both animals.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Equip, Explore, Rethink, Revise, Tailors:** Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Naturalist,

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Student will be able to**... make meaning of an engaging story and judge their own work.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> I will go over their project. They must create a Tumblr page with at least two full pages worth of pictures from a variety of things that interest them. In order to prove they have two full pages, the pictures should start to spill onto a third page. They will then pick six pictures to write a quick story about. The story could take place before, after, or during the picture's actual frame, but either way it should somehow be evident and they would match up if I had to guess. Afterwards, students would begin researching a song (which of course, should be appropriate). They will pick out different literary terms from the song and describe to us how the song's message was sparked.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine, Tailors:** Visual, Linguistic, Logical, Musical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Assessment will be from a student rubric, this way students can self access their work. Other classmates will be able to match up stories to pictures which will be their assessment of the student. Besides this will be the teacher's assessment, the rubric.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Evaluate, Tailors:** Intrapersonal, Visual, Interpersonal.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Handouts__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //List the items that need to be printed out for the lesson.//
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">An explanation of tumblr (with consequences spelled out in case of inappropriate use.)
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Graphic Organizer
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Literary Terms

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **//Rationale://** Each style should be hit, although some are a bit more intensive in this lesson then others. Either way, each student will have a favorite part of the three days based on their learning style.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **//Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> There will be a analytical checklist that a teacher will see.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **//Rationale: These two variations allow for there to be on the fly assessment as well as in depth assessment that can be completed quickly.//** ||  ||   ||
