Comp/Lit 9: 11/12/2010

I was absent on Friday, so here are the sub notes

Lesson Plan for Comp/Lit 9, periods 3, 5, 7

Procedures:

(Jan Linn will lead the 3rd period class (you will repeat the process for periods 5 & 7)

1.     Take roll

2.     Pass out the Introduction to The Tortilla Curtain Packet.

3.     Have the students set up their Interative Notebook for the :Along the Tortilla Curtain” Essay.  This will be assignment #15 and it will begin on page 63.  See my Interactive Notebook as a sample.  You can even put it under the document camera for the students to see.

4.     The students will then have the rest of the period to work on the Short Story Culminating project.  This is an individual assignment; therefore, there should be no group work.  I explaiined the assignment last class period.  The students should arrive knowing what they need to work on.  Some students (depending on the project they choose), will need one of two packets from you-The large packet of short stories (Roman Numeral I on the assignment sheet), or the Compare and Contract packet for ”The Last Spin” (Roman Numeral III, option 2).  Some students may also need packets that they’ve turned in but have not yet been graded.  Please see the various stacks of packets on my desk.  Please remind the students that they will need to resubmit the packet to me next week for grading purposes.

5.     All students are expected to read andor re-read the stories connected to the project they select; therefore, I expect that the first part of the period will consist of the students reading silently.

6.     Once the students are working individually, please check the homework and stamp the homework card.  They needed to complete two assignments in the Interactive Notebook-Four questions about ”Rules of the Game” (these should be somewhere on pages 54-60) and Eight questions about ”The Good Daughter” (these should be on page 59 for 3rd period and page 61 for 5th and 7th)

7.     If they students get to a place where they no longer have something to work on for the project, they may begin their homework-reading ”Along the Tortilla Curtain” and taking notes.

8.     Homework:  Remind the students of the following:

·      VFA #11-12

·      Review all 53 Prepositions

·      Work on the Short Story Culminating Project

·      Read & Take Notes on ”Along the Tortilla Curtain”
