Instructional Ideas

  • Ask a class member to prepare a masterful reading of the section of the story under study

Classroom Considerations

  • The unit is designed to address Common Core standards
  • The eighth in a 13-lesson unit that uses Ethan Canin’s short story “The Palace Thief” as an anchor text
  • In addition to the in-class readings, class members are also responsible for an out-of-class Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) assignment

Pros

  • The eight-page packet includes the plan, examples of high-performance responses to the discussion questions, a vocabulary list, discussion questions with sample responses, and a homework assignment

Cons

  • Some readers may need additional support to keep up with their Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) assignment
