In a literature circle, students are able to take ownership in their learning as they rotate between different literary roles each week. The different roles will cover important material in the reading in a fresh, engaging, and thorough way. On class day, students arrive having read the section and completed their role for that week. During class, students will take turns sharing their role's work and discussing the reading in-depth. The following week, students will rotate down one role so that each student will have the opportunity to fill each role by the end of class. In this class, we will read sections of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, then get together in class to talk about the reading section. Students will be encouraged to share what they loved, what they hated, what confused them, and more. I will also facilitate the discussion to help students dig into the deeper truths hiding in each chapter. After finishing the book and having our last discussion, the students will put together a creative project from a Literary Choice Board handout, and presentations will take place in the final class. Literature Circle Roles: 1. Summary Superintendent 2. Discussion Director 3. Literary Leader 4. Word Wizard 5. Connection Captain 6. Artistic Agent Class Schedule: Class 1: (Introduction to Literature Circles) Learn: What are the roles? How do literature circles work? What do *I* do? Preview the Literary Choice Board project that will be presented the final week. Homework: Read Chapters 1-5 and prepare your role for the literature circle meeting. Class 2: (First Literature Circle Meeting) Discuss: Chapters 1-5 as a class, with each literature circle member sharing their role and discussing. Homework: Read Chapters 6-9 and prepare your new role for the next literature circle meeting. Class 3: (Second Literature Circle Meeting) Discuss: Chapters 6-9 as a class, with each literature circle member sharing their role and discussing. Homework: Read Chapters 10-13 and prepare your new role for the next literature circle meeting. Class 4: (Third Literature Circle Meeting) Discuss: Chapters 10-13 as a class, with each literature circle member sharing their role and discussing. Homework: Read Chapters 14-18 and prepare your new role for the next literature circle meeting. Class 5: (Fourth Literature Circle Meeting) Discuss: Chapters 14-18 as a class, with each literature circle member sharing their role and discussing. Homework: Read Chapters 19-24 and prepare your new role for the next literature circle meeting. Class 6: (Fifth Literature Circle Meeting) Discuss: Chapters 19-24 as a class, with each literature circle member sharing their role and discussing. Homework: Read Chapters 25-31 (the end) and prepare your new role for the next literature circle meeting. Class 7: (Sixth Literature Circle Meeting) Discuss: Chapters 25-31 (the end) as a class, with each literature circle member sharing their role and discussing. Homework: Prepare your Literary Choice Board project and be ready to present in the last class! Watch the film version of To Kill a Mockingbird (1962) and be prepared to discuss differences between the book and the movie versions, and what your opinion is of the differences. Class 8: (Literary Choice Board Project Presentations) Present: Students will take turns presenting their chosen Literary Choice Board projects. Discuss: As time allows, the class will discuss differences between the book and the movie, which version we like better, why the director chose to portray certain scenes/people in certain ways, and more!

其他詳情
父母的引導和規範
Parents need to know that Harper Lee's 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird addresses the terrible impact of racism in America through a little girl's point of view. The story takes place in Depression-era Alabama, in the fictional town of Maycomb, which Lee patterned after her own hometown of Monroeville. The narrator, 6-year-old Scout Finch, and her brother Jem and their friend Dill play children's games, but they also have a clear view of the adults in their world. Their youth and innocence contrasts with the prejudice, cruelty, and poverty they often observe. There's some threatened and real violence in this Pulitzer Prize winner: A man breaks a child's arm; a rabid dog is shot and killed; there is a stabbing death; the children and their father, Atticus Finch, confront a lynch mob; and the court case at the center of the novel involves a Black man who's been accused of raping and beating a white woman. Some of this violence is whiskey-fueled, as well. Profanity includes "damn," "bastard," and "son-of-a-bitch." The "N" word and "('N'-word)-lover" is used liberally by some residents of Maycomb as if it's perfectly commonplace, and by others as a weapon. The children in the novel learn powerful lessons about the impact of poverty and prejudice, and the importance of empathy, and so will those who read this classic. The 1962 film version starring Gregory Peck is one of those rare films that truly does justice to the original book. The audiobook read by Sissy Spacek is also note-perfect.

External Resource: Lumio by SMART
Lumio by SMART is an interactive lesson resource similar to Nearpod that engages learners through polls, games, sharing, as well as workspaces for individuals, groups, and the whole class! It’s a great way to elevate the learning experience.
To join class, students will:
1. Go to hellosmart.com.
2. Students can connect to class by signing in with their Google or Microsoft accounts, or they can join as GUESTS with a lesson code and simply type in their names/nicknames.
3. If students would like to access the lesson outside of class time, they can either access the student-paced lesson link by signing in with a Google or Microsoft account, or accessing the PDF resources in the Outschool classroom.
供應清單
Students will need to have a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. As it is a widely popular book, it can usually be found at the local library or as an e-book. Copies may also be purchased through Amazon, Thriftbooks, Abe Books, or Better World Books. The digital handouts are a forced-copy Google Doc, which is the equivalent to a photocopy. If you do not have a Google account, please message me and I would be happy to provide you with a PDF.

Teaching--especially in English, writing, and language arts--is a true passion of mine. I graduated Cum Laude from Kansas State University in 2010 with a Secondary Education degree in English and Journalism, and then went on to teach in the public schools before setting off on my own as an online teacher and tutor.
My philosophy of education is to make it as fun, personalized, and as interactive as possible for the kids. I always try to even out my direct instruction/lecture time with plenty of opportunities for students to practice these new skills, take polls, play review games, and collaborate with peers.
I am happily married to my husband Brad, and we have two beautiful daughters, Sophia and Elise. We currently reside in Kansas in a small town, and we love the small town life.
Oh, and Zerr is pronounced "Zarr," so it rhymes with "car." 😉

Hi there! I'm Monica and I teach reading, vocabulary, and writing classes. I recently finished graduate school in linguistics.
I grew up speaking English, Spanish, and Swiss German at home, so I've been surrounded by several languages from a young age. Whether I am studying the history of a word, or what language can tell us about its speakers, I am endlessly curious about language. I have experience teaching linguistics courses at the university level, as well as teaching writing, reading, and English as a second language online. I'm so excited to share my passion for language and to learn with and from my students!
My teaching philosophy is that every student comes into the classroom with knowledge. It's my job, as a teacher, to leverage what they already know to help them achieve their goals.
Outside of the classroom, you can find me at the beach, or out in nature. I love to spend my free time reading, writing, and with my friends and family. Oh, and playing with my cat, Biscuit!
I'm looking forward to seeing you in class! 😊

My personal teaching philosophy is "We are Lifelong Learners!" I want to foster a love of learning in my classroom through engaging, fun, and creative lessons. I hope to see you in my classroom very soon! ✨
