Whitman

Lesson Plan and Materials for Monday, February 28th

HONORS

Thanks for getting this together, you have a strong start.

From here:
 * 1) Check out my feedback below on the after exam materials
 * 2) Finish materials for after exam on Tuesday, upload them here at the bottom of the page (I added a bar divider and wrote FINAL to make it clear), then text me to check out/finalize them--you can copy them Tuesday morning
 * 3) Please write up a //brief// materials explanation--step by step like you would in a lesson plan, what should be handed out when and what students are expected to do with it (this will be for Me 1st period, Foltz 2nd and Shelley 4th--so we know what to do with everything) and upload it with your materials
 * 4) Upload preview for Whitman exam to this page
 * 5) ** This is a change from what we previously discussed. ** Due - Tuesday Morning: Honors Lesson Plan for Wednesday class (Day 1 Whitman Unit) and Thursday Class (Day 2 Whitman) which covers everything for your unit-- remember, you cover the entire unit in Honors in 2 days... I, Foltz, and Flick will then spread it out over 4 days for College Prep. (You should have a predetermined lesson objective, warm up/hook, instruction, practice, and wrap up/formative assessment of lesson learning objective). Explain it like you were explaining it to Shelley. We will go through it and tweak it during plan on Tuesday... most of our plan will probably center around your Whitman work.
 * 6) ** This is a change from what we previously discussed. ** Due - Wednesday Morning: Lesson Plan for SAT Friday, PowerPoint draft, student materials draft, assessment preview draft (assessment will be 3/4)

I am guessing this is the order?

After EXAM: (DRAFT)

Poetry Anticipation Guide-

They are reading the poetry section in the text book

Walt Whitman Biography

Walt Whitman Questions/Notes Guide (we still need some type of assignment to get them to actively read/interact with the text, show they have read it and to focus them, possibly questions that highlight the main points you want to get out of the reading or a note taking guide for them to fill in as they read)

Unit Materials to Discuss for Thursday...



Looking at the second sheet, you have a good start on a schedule. I created a page titled "Tentative Schedule" on the http://cavsenglish11fall2010.wikispaces.com/KBMaterials page

AFTER EXAM: Final Materials and Teacher Explanation

After students finish with their exam they will be given two handouts. First is the Poetry anticipation guide (the Whitman Biography on the back). The anticipation guide is intended to be filled out independently (that is, if ALL students are finished with the exam) They may work in partners if they can work quietly. It is intended to activate their prior knowledge about poetry. This should not take them long. So when they finish with the anticipation guide, they can read the Whitman Bio (on the back) and answer the Bio Questions from the other handout. *this will probably take the rest of the class period to finish*

For HOMEWORK, students will read the "Forms of Poetry" from their lit books (page 394-395?) and fill in the Notes Guide.

Graphic Organizer KEY

This is a copy of the Objectives we have written on the Board (this may be totally useless, but I like it)
