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