Lesson Plan Example #3
Amy Noel Lee
7th grade English
Approximate time: 50 minutes
Objective: The student will define story elements.
The student will apply knowledge of story elements.
Benchmark: #2D: The student will analyze, interpret, compare, or respond to increasingly complex literary text, literary nonfiction, and informational text citing text- based evidence. 1) Story Elements (e.g., setting, characters, character traits, plot, resolution, point of view).
Set: Yesterday you completed your pre-test. Now it is time to start practicing those skills. Today our objective is, “The student will define story elements. And the student will apply knowledge of story elements” “Story elements are essential to understanding movies, novels, short stories, poems and even stories your friends and family tell you. I am going to prove it to you. I am going to show you story charts that only have the story elements—not the titles or even the names of the story elements—you will fill those in a little later. Your task is to tell me the title of the movie, based on those essential story elements. “Here is the first one (post a story chart for ‘Harry Potter”).” Ask students to take a minute to think about the answer. Show two more story charts. “You guys just told me the name of movies only based on the essential, or important elements of a story. It will be your task today to find out what those blanks mean in the story chart. And then when you talk to friends about movies and books—you can impress them with your fancy terminology.” Tomorrow we will work on story elements and vocabulary words from our first story, “The Most Dangerous Game.”
Procedures:
A. Bell work (5 min) Journal—What is your favorite movie and why?/Share
B. Set (5 min)
C. Explain task. “Since you all were so quick with guessing the movies. I bet you can use your prior knowledge of story elements to fill in the blanks in the story chart.” Ask students to get into groups. Assign roles to groups and go over group procedures. Read directions and ask students to fill in chart using word bank. Go over answers and discuss answers? (10 min)
D. Ask students to turn sheet over and as a group write in the definitions. (10 min)
E. Guide students as they formulate definitions to story elements./Write on them on board (5 min)
F. Closure (5 min)
G. Hand out and explain assignment—fill in chart for a movie they have seen using their knowledge. Ask for questions. (3 min)
H. Ask students to begin on their assignments. (15 min)
I. Ask students to share charts. (if time)
Closure: Today we learned to define and use story elements. Let’s recap--quiz students on definitions. Go back to story charts from set and have students fill in the blanks. Tell students that tomorrow we will start on story elements and vocabulary words from our first story, “The Most Dangerous Game.” Explain assignment.
Assessment: The teacher will collect and grade story element chart the next day (M) to determine whether the student can define and use story elements (C) and record score in grade book. (D)
