A Common Core Standards Curriculum Resource for A Hitch at the Fairmont

This guide is designed to help educators meet the goals set out in the Common Core standards. It provides a framework for teachers and parents to assist students to read the complex text independently and proficiently, to become more aware of the historical context in which the story is set, and to choose study and discussion questions at an intentional depth of knowledge to spark critical and creative thinking. Applicable standards were selected for grades 4, 5, and 6. The standards are similar, but grade 6 wording is slightly different.

As students read A Hitch at the Fairmont, lessons and assignment can focus on:

o Prior Knowledge—Students learn the relevance of the events of the mid 1950s time period in which the story is set, how the environment of the city of San Francisco interacts with the story, and the impact of director Alfred Hitchcock on films.

o Vocabulary—Students learn vocabulary beyond everyday speech/words, how common words are used differently because of culture, regional language or time period of the story, and words specific to filmmaking, crime detection, and other fields.

o Chapter Questions—Students expand awareness of how the chapter headings and storyboards support the content, plot, characters, setting, and feelings of the characters.

o Pulling It All Together—Students follow themes, patterns, feelings, and the impact on themselves as readers.
