They are available in two formats: Google Slides and Google Forms. Google Slides First, I have made all student pages in Google Slides format. Students can simply add text boxes to any area they wish to type on. To access the Google Slides for this short story unit, copy and paste the link below into your browser: link omitted in preview file Google Forms I have made the assessments available in Google Forms. Here, they are self-grading, and I have set them all up with answer keys so they are ready to go for you. You’ll need to find these two files in your download folder to use Google Forms. The first file contains the links to the Forms, and the second file is explicit instructions for use. 5 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Teaching Guide, Rationale, Lesson Plans, and Procedures I have discussed here how I use each activity and included hints and links to help you, too. I went ahead and mapped out the days for you. Feel free to take or leave what you like. Even if you don’t plan to follow this schedule, I still recommend reading through this section to get the most out of these activities. These lessons and activities were designed to meet the needs of eight graders during the middle part of the school year. The stories, activities, questions, and assessments will become increasingly rigorous and challenging as we progress through the year. Day 1 1. Activity 1: 15 minutes Mini-lesson – Poetry Sound & Rhyme Review – students simply write in the answers to review and will need this content for Activities 2 and 11 and be quizzed on it with the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 1 Activity 15 2. Activity 2: 20 minutes Annotate Sounds & Rhyme Practice Pages – GREAT warm-up for a poetry unit to get students thinking about and finding the terms they reviewed in Activity 1 and ready to do the major annotation in Activity 11 - and of course to prepare for the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 15. This is a separate file in the download folder named Sound Rhyme Practice.pdf. Activity 2 3. Activity 3: 15 minutes Another Mini-lesson, Poetic Structure. Students review terms they’ll need to know to complete the annotating in Activity 11 and yes, again on the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 15. Activity 3 6 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Day 2 1. Activity 4: 15 minutes Another Mini-lesson, Poetry Rhyme Schemes. Activity 4 Students review terms they’ll need to know to complete the annotating in Activity 11 and yes, again on the Poetry Elements Quiz, Activity 15. LOOKS similar to Activity 3 but the terms/content is different. 2. Activity 5: 20 minutes Imagery interactive notebook lesson – see assembly instructions and student pages; students will Activity 5 analyze imagery for Paul Revere’s Ride in Activity 12, on the 4th read. 3. Activity 6: 20 minutes Imagery practice pages – I’ve included a 20-item practice and a quiz in case your students need extra help identifying Imagery. This one’s optional if your students are already experienced in spotting Activity 6 imagery. This is a separate file in the download folder named Imagery Activity 5.pdf. Day 3 1. Activity 7: 5-10 minutes Journal prompt - discuss if desired. (Separate file in Activity 7 the download folder.) 2. First Read – Read/Listen to Poem – 10 minutes Choose which copy to give to students - if you are going to do the summary close read for each stanza (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, Activity 8 below) then give students the pages from the file Act 8 Student Pages and Keys.pdf located in the download folder. Otherwise, you can just give them the copy of Poem for Annotating.pdf also located in the download folder. They can take notes in their notebook or glue in their notebook either way. See the two options below (from the Highwayman, but same idea). Version 1 – use this ^ Version 2, use this ^ 7 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Day 3, continued Activity 8 If you want a decent audio version, I like this one from Youtube (optional depending on available technology..): https://youtu.be/9rPT0yxFSZc 3. Activity 8: 35 minutes SECOND READ: Read and analyze events of poem (see bottom of previous page for location of text files and student options!). I’ve summarized the events of each stanza for you and also (under the bar in each box) written a statement about the stanza’s overall significance to the development of the plot (RL.8.3) Day 4 2. Activity 9: 25 minutes Literal Comprehension Quiz– Basic Activity 9 Comprehension (Recall Facts) This quiz checks for basic comprehension and recall of the story. There are no higher order thinking questions on this quiz, no inferring, no analyzing, no drawing conclusions, etc. so I do not recommend that students use a copy of the story for this quiz unless they need that as a testing accommodation. The purpose of this quiz for me is to make sure students carefully read the story and to make sure they can recall facts and details after they read. 3. Activity 10: 25 minutes Plot Pyramid – This is so routine, but IMPORTANT for hammering home these ideas: 1) a narrative poem REALLY is a story and can be diagrammed just like a story, and Activity 10 2) YES, even YOU can diagram a poem! 8 ©2019 erin cobb imlovinlit.com Short Story of the Month Teacher’s Guide "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Day 5 1. Activity 11: 55 minutes Annotation Guide for Sound, Rhyme, & Structure THIRD READ: Students are doing two things at once here: recording answers and answering questions on the 3-page student copy of the annotation guide, and they’re Activity 11 also annotating on top of any version of the poem.
