Text 6-12

(Key Ideas and Details)

I. Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text

says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text. A. Developfactual, interpretive, and evaluative questions for further exploration of the

topic(s)

II. Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text,

IV. Analyze various accounts of a subject told in different mediums (e.g., a

person’s life story in both print and multimedia), determining which detailsare emphasized in each account.

Lesson Objective(s):

Students will develop an interest in learning about a variety of literature. Students willalso become familiar with classic novels often used in English Language Art classes. By

exploring the web students will develop research skills in order to help them valuable

information. By the end of the lesson students should be able to answer the questionslisted in the scavenger hunt and present them to the class in a creative and interactive



manner.

Introduce the Learning Activity:

In this lesson I hope for students to become interested in literature. Often time’s students become bored with the kind of literature that some teachers use in the classroom. High

school students love playing games! What better way to become interested and appreciate

literature than by having them participate in an online scavenger hunt. I would do thislesson at the beginning of the school year before introducing a literary text to students. I

also think that this lesson introduces students to do research, but in a fresh new manner.

The questions that used for the scavenger hunt will vary and allow them to have inclusive

and deeper insight on some of the key elements of belonging to particular literary works.I will frontload students by asking them what do they think about classic literature.

Assuming that most students are not too fond of reading I will tell them that I bet I can

make reading for them without them having to open a single book. By exciting students

in this manner I will have their attention and have them genuinely participate in theliterary online scavenger hunt. In order to help students remember and share the

information they come across I have made it possible for them to work in pairs and create

a visual representation of their findings using Microsoft PowerPoint. Each of their

presentations will be unique and different from their fellow peers.

Describe how you will provide a motivator. How will you get students interested in thislesson?

In order to get students interested in this lesson I will get their feedback and insights on

novels they would like for me to use in the classroom. I am aware that teachers cansometimes not get their hands on any books, but I will try my best to find some or most

of the books my students are interested in reading. After finding out what kind of booksthey would like to read, I will them that I will like for them to be aware and learn about

some other literary works, which are most often classics such as, Frankenstein and The

Great Gatsby. I will for students to think creatively when creating their PowerPoint presentation. There exists tons of websites in which students may be able to find images

and audio clips to include in their visual presentation. I will also like to provide students

will an example presentation so that they may have an idea of what I expect them to do.

Provide Information:

As a future educator who grew up in an urban school I always learned best when teachers

explain what they expected of me in several ways and by modeling a sample piece. I

firmly believe in Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences Theory and will try to accommodatethe lesson to as many different learning styles as I can. Since this is a research base lesson

I understand that my students may not be familiar with some if not a lot of the works

listed in the scavenger hunt. However, I will assume that they have heard about some of these classic works prior to the lesson plan. Taking this into consideration I will voice out



loud to the class what the assignment is, and follow up with encouraging them to share

any questions or concerns related to the lesson. Before giving them the opportunity to

research the web for information I will like to show them a brief sample piece of what a

PowerPoint presentation may look like.

Since students will be using images from the web I will like to also take the time toremind them that I will like for them use images that are appropriate and not offensive. I

can give a brief detail explanation of what kinds of images are not allowed to use. I want

to take as many safety precautions as I can to ensure a safe and respectful learningenvironment for all. I will also write the directions on the board so that students may refer

to if they forget what he or she is supposed to do. I also think it would be helpful to list

several websites in which students may use to find images and common web search

engines. Afterwards, the lesson is pretty much at the hands of my students. I want them towork in pairs, while on person is researching online the other person can be searching for

images or audio to include in the PowerPoint. One thing that I really like about this

activity is that it allows students to work collaboratively while still giving them the

opportunity to demonstrate their own creativity.

Provide Practice:

I will give students the opportunity to make this lesson plan successful. In order for this

occur they will need to all participate and work collaboratively with his or her partner. AsI mentioned before, students will search the web to find the correct answers to the

questions on the scavenger hunt list. The questions provided in the scavenger hunt list

will grant students the opportunity to become familiar with particular authors, classic

works and themes or elements found in a particular way. The questions are all different

from one another, and if the information they come across is interesting students are mostlikely to remember a literary work, or even more become interested in reading it. When it

comes to the visual representation students have the opportunity of deciding how theywould like to represent it on PowerPoint. There is no right way of presenting their

findings and this gives everyone of them the opportunity to think outside the box. I will

distribute a scavenger hunt list so that they may refer to as they begin researching.

However, I will ask them to please maintain the order of the list so that every

presentation is following a particular sequence.

Describe how you will give students an opportunity to practice the exact task stated in theobjective individually, as well as in groups. (You may have only individual practice, but

not solely group practice.

From the very beginning I will indicate to students that I would like for them to work in

pairs. This does not only allow me to assess what kind of work they produce, but also

how well they work together. They will work together to find useful information and put

it together in a PowerPoint presentation.



Provide Knowledge of Results:

1. Describe how you will provide verbal feedback to the students on their practice efforts.

Throughout the activity I will ask students if they need help or are finding a particular

question challenging. I will go around the classroom and comment on the visual presentations that they are creating. If a particular student is showing signs of not being

interested in the activity I will ask them if there is something wrong and how can I help

them become interested in the activity. It’s important to keep in mind that if a student isshowing behavioral problems or has a nasty attitude there might be other contributing

factors outside the classroom affecting him or her. If I come across a student like this one,

I will perhaps work with him or her individually so that they may still feel included in the

lesson. I wouldn’t like to make any student feel lik e an outcast in my classroom.

2. Describe how you will provide written feedback to the students on their practice

efforts.

Since students will create visual representations on PowerPoint I will not be giving much

writing feedback. Once the groups are done presenting their visual representation I willlike for them all to save it on my personal classroom flash drive so that I may review and

look at them closer when assessing their work. The following day I will give all the

groups who participated in the scavenger hunt a certificate award for doing an excellent job. This is something students can keep and take home with them. Most students will see

the scavenger hunts as a game, and like in almost all cases there has to be a winner. But I

will make all my students feel like winners by given them personal certificate awards.

Review the Activity:

I will have students summarize the points in the lesson by having them all present in

groups their PowerPoint slides. This will give everyone in the class the opportunity to

view how their fellow peers interpreted and creatively when about demonstrating theanswers listed on the scavenger hunt list. Afterwards I would like to ask students what

literary work mentioned on the scavenger hunt list would they be interested in reading

together as a class. Listening to their choices I will like to pick the top 3 or 4 literaryworks and used them throughout the semester.

Method of Assessment:



Describe how you will assess whether or not the students have learned the skills outlined

in the learning objective. Provide a sample test, rubric, scoring guide, etc.

I will assess students in two different ways. The first way of assessing students is by

giving them a check or minus in whether they choose to participate and demonstrate their

PowerPoint slide. Ideally I would like for my entire class to present in front of the class, but being realistic I may come across a few students who may not be up for participating.I will let students know that if they choose to participate in front of the class they will

automatically get a check. I feel that this will encourage students to at least put an effort

to obtain participatory points. The other form of assessing students is by checkingwhether or not they have saved their PowerPoint presentation in my classroom flash

drive. When looking over their visual representations I will check for three main

components. 1. That they followed instructions and maintained the same sequence as the

scavenger hunt list. 2. That I am able to comprehend the answer to the questions based ontheir visual representations. 3. Whether or not they saved their presentation on the flash

drive. If students have demonstrated that they have a clear understanding of the activity I

will give them either: A check plus for completing all three components. A check minusif they are missing one of the components and Incomplete if they are missing 2

components or did not bother to saved their assignment. Overall, I will make all my

students aware that I’m proud of the awesome job they did and will present them with the

certificate award the next day.
