    This document provides a lesson plan for teaching 13 Reasons Why to 8th grade students. The 60 minute lesson will have students discuss whether Hannah's tapes were an appropriate way to tell her story and predict other consequences of the tapes. Students will then write alternative ways Hannah could have expressed her problems. To differentiate instruction, students can complete a RAFT assignment from the perspective of various characters in a journal, collage poster, tape recording or apology letter format. The goal is for students to understand multiple character perspectives and the consequences of actions.

    their actions affect other people sometimes more than expected.

    Know
    R.A.F.T concept
    characters actions in the book

    Do (Skills)
    By creating a RAFT students will create a better understanding of the characters point of view.
    Students will create different activities that show different results from the book. Ultimately,
    develop a deeper understanding for the main characters within the story.

    PreAssessment
    The students will lead a class discussion on their opinions and ideas of the story. Students will
    create their own viewpoint on how they felt about the book and the characters actions.

    Steps in the Lesson:


    After reading the book we will mainly lead the class in discussion.
    Clay is initially thrilled to receive a package, but quickly changes his
    tune. With the entire class, we will discuss some potential
    consequences of Hannahs tapes. Could the consequences be worse
    than she hoped? We will discuss in small groups and as a class
    whether or not the gift will do what Hannah expects.

    What are the desired effects, and could there be other


    reasons?
    After discussion students will have time to create their ideas for their
    RAFT project.
    Closure Activity/Wrap up:
    3-2-1
    Students will give me three facts about the book, two questions they have over the book, or
    one thing they find confusing or disturbing about 13 Reasons Why. They will be given an
    index card and present the index card to me before leaving the classroom.

    PostAssessment:
    Students will complete their RAFT assignments and have background knowledge of the book
    for the final book assessment.
