Class Experience

US Grade 10 - 12
Intermediate Level
Students will complete reading assignments outside of the class, though we will read segments together during our discussions.  In addition to reading assignments for home work, there are short writing assignments, higher-level comprehension questions, and a compare and contrast essay. 

We will have lectures, group discussions, group work, Socratic seminars, Youtube videos, implicit grammar instruction, and vocabulary in context.  I incorporate plenty of time for students to talk and ask questions, as I believe this helps them learn and retain information. I differentiate my instruction based on the learning styles and needs of individual students, including social/emotional needs and challenges. I use graphic organizers to help students manage new information and discuss options for individualized note-taking strategies.  

The following is a list of texts we will read and analyze:

*Novel~Maus: A Survivor's Tale by Art Spiegelman

*Collection of poems, short stories, and essays~#NotYourPrincess: Voices of Native American Women edited by Lisa Charley Boy and Mary Beth Leatherdale

*Novella~Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

*Play~Our Twon by Thornton Wilder

Learning Goals

Students will be able to: 
~write a five paragraph essay
~identify the genre of a text
~identity the seven plot elements 
~identify and discuss the various elements of character development 
~identify and define archetypes in stories
~identify tone and mood using citations from the text 
~make inferences from the text using correct citations from the text 
~identify various literary devices and elements and analyze their impact on the plot and character development
