Stage 3 Draft



     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)

     PROGRESS MONITORING

     --Formal and informal assessments

  1. 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.

  2. I 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.

  3. Brain-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.
