What pre-assessments will you use to check student's prior knowledge,
skill levels, and potential misconceptions?
*Teacher-created pretest on point of view
*Drafts of essay
LEARNING EVENTS
Student success at transfer, meaning, and acquisition depends upon applying their learning
in a variety of learning events, which will be assessed both formally and informally.
--The learner will watch a Brainpop video on Point of View and complete a quiz on the video,
which will be corrected as a whole group. (M)
--The teacher will disseminate at handout that describes the characteristics of each of the 4
main types of point of view. (M)
--In pairs or small groups, the learner will create a Thinking Map (Tree Map) that identifies the
4 main types of point of view and the characteristics of each type of point of view. (M)
--In pairs, the learner will create a Powerpoint presentation that illustrates the characteristics of
each of the 4 different points of view and present it to the class.(T)
--As a whole group, the class will read 3 short stories--"The Storyteller," "Typhoid Fever," and
"Evacuation Order No. 19." (M)
--The learner will create a Thinking Map (Tree Map) that illustrates the point of view and
characteristics of the narrator in each of the 3 stories (M)
--As a whole group, the class with go through a pre-writing process that will lead to the
development of individual response to literature essays that compare the narrator in the 3
stories and analyzes how an author's choice of narrator/point of view affects characterization,
the tone and plot of a story, and the narrator's credibility. (A)

The transfer activity of creating a presentation to share with the class seems like a great way to put the students in the teacher's shoes and give a clear picture of how students apply the information they have learned to a new situation: teaching peers. It would be interesting to see how a different class understood the 4 points of view after viewing their Powerpoints.
ReplyDeleteI like that you use the Story Map for two different tasks and that they can have time to learn the tool and then use if for slightly different tasks. But, I wonder if letting the students use the story map the second time and then use their cell phones to make videos as the narrators from the 3 stories? Just a thought/suggestion!?! Great work.
ReplyDeleteBrain-pop is a great way to Hook the students. Your learning events address a variety of learning styles. Great to see how the learning events lead to students making connections and uncovering the content.
