Strategies
I will employ the following strategies throughout this unit: KWL, Think-Pair-Share,
Timeline, Free Write, Before-During-After, Think Aloud Reading Strategies, Two and Three-Column Notes (Reader/Writer Response), and Teacher Modeling.
I will explain how I will use specific strategies throughout the sample lesson plans.
Unit Correlation to State Standards
Like most teachers, I too am mandated to organize all of my activities in this and any other curriculum unit around state standards. This unit will correlate to the following state standards in Delaware, but I sure they can easily be adapted to other states' standards.
- Standard One- Grade Level 9-10
- Students will use written and oral English appropriate for various purposes and audiences
- Standard Two- Grade Level 9-10
- Students will construct, examine, and extend the meanings of literary, informative, and technical texts through listening, reading and viewing.
- Standard Three- Grade Level 9-10
- Students will access, organize, and evaluate information gained by listening, reading, and viewing.
- Standard Four- Grade Level 9-10
- Students will use literary knowledge accessed through print and visual media to connect self to society and culture.
Although this unit may not cover the entire scope of each standard, it will align to critical parts of each standard. What is not covered in this unit will be included in the suggested follow-up activities that are located at the end.
