Instructional Ideas
  • Ask a class member to prepare a masterful reading of the chapter introduction
Classroom Considerations
  • The seventh in an 11-lesson unit that uses David Mitchell's Black Swan Green 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 12-page packet includes the plan, discussion questions with model responses, a vocabulary list, and a homework prompt
Cons
  • Some class members may be challenged by the sameness in the format of all the lessons in the three-unit module
