Lesson Plan for Day #10

 

Title: Detective Discoveries

 

Overview:  Students will have a chance to share three of their favorite observations they made while writing in their Detective Notebooks.  If time allows, students will have the opportunity to share and discuss what they felt was the most important message in the novel.

 

Goals / Objectives:

·        Students will learn from each other’s observations

·        Students will gain experience in voicing their literature observations to their peers.

 

Materials / Resources Needed

 

Completed student notebooks (brought by the students.)

 

Activities / Procedures:

 

 

I will give the students time to look over the observations in their notebooks and pick out three that they would like to share with the class.

 

10 minutes

 

Students will take turns sharing their observations.  Peer comments on observations will be welcomed. 

 

20-30 minutes

As time permits, students can discuss what they think the most important message of Feed is.

10-20 minutes

I will collect the notebooks for grading at the end of class.

 

Assessment:

Notebooks will count as a significant part of the students’ grade for this unit.  Participation will be equally significant due to the heavy concentration on discussion.
