1. Context: Describe the Students for which this Lesson is Designed (1B)a;
Identify your students’ backgrounds, special needs, cultural differences, interests, and language proficiencies.
Use student initials for specific information about students in terms of learning strategies, behavior strategies.
Give examples of what you know about students’ interests, outside activities, etc., which could be incorporated
into lesson plan. Also, be specific about student skills and knowledge. Describe racial, socioeconomic diversity
in class.

The students in this class are from an urban, lower-socioeconomic area. Due to a school program, all students
qualify for free lunch but there are a few without the means for technology. When technology is required for
an assignment, class is held either in the computer lab or chromebooks are made accessible for the whole
classroom. While there are no students with special needs accommodations, each student is leveled as low-
performing. Out of 21 sophomores, 11 girls and 10 boys, every student is at around an eighth or ninth grade
reading level. To accommodate this, students are arranged by achievement level in groups of 3 and work
frequently with those in their group. Other accommodations are extended time to work, all instructions are
written and said allowed, and visual aids.

2. Learning Target(s)/Objectives (1A; 1C)


List & number the lesson learning target(s)/objective(s) [connect each target/objective to the appropriate
state curriculum/content area standards] List the content standard then the specific learning targets for each
standard.

a. Previous lesson’s learning targets / objectives:


CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.7
Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums, including what is
emphasized or absent in each treatment (e.g., Auden's "Musée des Beaux Arts" and Breughel's Landscape
with the Fall of Icarus).

Students will:
 Identify what is stressed or is missing from the representation of a subject or key scene in two
different mediums.
 Explain how and why an artist/author chooses to represent a subject or scene.
 Break down why an artist/author emphasized ideas for effect.

b. Current lesson’s learning targets / objectives:


CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.3
Analyze how complex characters (e.g., those with multiple or conflicting motivations) develop over the
course of a text, interact with other characters, and advance the plot or develop the theme.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.9-10.1
Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as
inferences drawn from the text.

Students will:
 Identify a character’s motives
 Break down text in order to provide evidence that explicitly uses details to support key ideas.

c. Next lesson’s learning targets / objectives:

3. Students’ Baseline Knowledge and Skills (1B; 1F)


Describe and include the pre-assessment(s) used to measure student’s baseline knowledge and skills for this
lesson.

The lesson will continue the students’ work in their short story unit. So far, they have:
 gone over the three different types of irony (situational, verbal, and dramatic)
 made predictions over the story
 read and responded to the story
 compared and contrasted two different versions of the story

The lesson will begin with the students answering a PollEverywhere about their feelings of Mary Maloney and
whether she could be convicted or not (yes or no). After seeing the results, we will discuss the students’
reasonings. It is important to see the students’ original thinking as they will be further developing these
arguments in class today.

Formative Assessment (1F)


Describe the formative assessment(s) to be used to measure student progress during this lesson.

My formative assessments will be:


 Student’s facial expressions and body language (i.e. Are they engage and paying attention or confused and
checked out)
 Scaffolding with targeted questions while students are working
 Mary Maloney’s Verdict
o Student’s will work with their group to decide which level of murder Mary Maloney committed
(First-Degree, Second-Degree, Voluntary Manslaughter, or Involuntary Manslaughter). They will go
through the story and find quotes that support their decision. When finished, each group will have
a chance to make their case for Mary Maloney.
Exit-Slip:
 Students will receive an index card where they will respond to the following statements:
o You are justified for getting revenge when someone does you wrong.
o When people are under a lot of stress, they can do or say things that they later regret.
o Yes or no, did your original response to these statements change.
o Why do you think they changed or stayed the same?

4. Resources (1D)
Identify the resources and assistance available to support your instruction and facilitate students’ learning (including
appropriate technology).
 Projector for the PollEverywhere
 Computer to control the PollEverywhere
 Chromebooks
 Hardcopies of Mary Maloney’s Verdict worksheets
 Hardcopies of “Lamb to the Slaughter”
 Index cards

o We will then discuss each group’s verdict, keeping
track on PollEverywhere again on what each student
decided.
o After we have each group’s answers, we will see the
total and do the following:
 If every student answered the same, then
Mary Maloney’s verdict will be that choice.
 If there are different answers, students will
have the chance to try to persuade the other
students to change their verdict until
everyone does agree on one answer.
 If students cannot persuade each other
towards one answer, then I will tell them that
since the “jury is hung”, Mary Maloney will
have a mistrial and will not be tried.
 Exit Slip:
o As students pass their papers up, I will hand them an
index card where they will answer the exit slip
questions. They will give these to me as they leave
the classroom.
Lesson Time: Approximately 55 minutes.
