CLASS SYNOPSIS
Let's celebrate Spring by studying a classic short story by Zora Neal Hurston through reading comprehension, vocabulary, analysis, and short answer classroom discussion

OVERVIEW
    • Vocabulary Glossary--A pdf of the text's most complicated words will be provided so that students can reference it while reading) 
    • Pre-reading Mini-Lesson--To begin class, I will share a lesson about the author and historical setting of the text.  I will also share the discussion questions so that students can look for responses during the reading of the story
    • Reading of the text--Students will be asked to read the short story between the two classes
    • Discussion-- The class will discuss and analyze the text based on the questions provided

CONTENT
Classic short-stories provide several opportunities for rich analytical discussion.  What they lack in narrative length, they make up for in quality academic content
Class discussion will revolve around the following novel-centered concepts:
    • Personal analysis
    • Critical analysis
    • Academic analysis
    • Literary elements
    • Figurative language

TEACHING STYLE
    • I want my students to discuss, interact, and learn from each other! Every chance I get,  I will encourage them to respond to other’s ideas
    • I hope to facilitate conversation, protect think-time, and pose questions that provoke deeper thought based on the central text
    • I hope that students feel as welcomed to think as they are challenged in their thinking
    • While I will challenge students to think deeply, their perspective will always be encouraged and celebrated  
    • I love interacting with my students!  I will be apart of the conversation as well 😁
    • Mini-lessons will be taught to ensure all students comprehend concepts and themes

SCHEDULE
    • Session 1: Introductions, instructions, biographical information and writing style, literary period
    • Session 2: Analysis discussion of the text
