Class Experience

US Grade 8 - 11
Learners will be taught a close reading, analytic strategy called Notice and Note. We will specifically cover the fiction signposts for Notice and Note. Learners will work through different signposts that help them comprehend the story and break the text up to their ability. I will be using Pixar shorts and short movie clips through the lesson to assist the understanding of the signposts. 
The beginning of class we will take the first 5-10 minutes talking about random things, this will help me know the student so I can make class relevant to what they know. I will have a short presentation that will be provided to look back upon as they complete their practice work. Learners can ask questions throughout.
Sometimes we can do games to learn and show our understanding of the topic (typically will be the second class of the week) at the end of a class.

Learning Goals

Students will be able to respond to questions to help their understanding of the texts.
Students will be able to discuss signposts and how it can help with literature.

Other Details

Parental Guidance
Kahoots will be used for the review and games sections of this course and will be used as a check for understanding/assessment tool. Commonlit is a resource for educators and students to read short stories, which will be used to apply the signposts from the lesson. This is a free account. Nearpods will be used as a presentation source. Students are engaged and can write notes directly on their side if they would like. Edpuzzle will be used as a resource to show youtube videos of short movie clips that will show the signpost and the students will have to respond to questions to showcase their understanding. YouTube will be used on my end to show movie clips and Pixar shorts of the specific signposts.
