Assessment Summary

Questioning the Big Question. I will put the Big Question (How does society affect change) on the board and the students will generate questions about the Big Question. We will discuss possible answers to the questions that the students generate. This assessment is to help the students start thin ing about one of the ma!or themes in the no"el# The $utsiders# but %.&. Hinton. I will not tell them that societal issues is a theme until later on in the no"el# but I would use this to introduce the theme to the students. This assessment will also aid in engaging the students in higher'order thin ing s ills. Themes (W) *hart. The students will fill out a (W) *hart on themes. They will put what they now about literary themes in the ( column. They will put what they would li e to now in the W column. +t the end of the unit# they will put what they learned about themes in the ) column. This assessment is for me to see how much the students now about themes and what I need to co"er in regards to literary themes in a no"el. Qui,,es o"er the reading. I will gi"e the students comprehension qui,,es while we read the no"el. I will do this to hold the students accountable for indi"idual reading and to chec that students understand the reading. Brainstorming themes in the no"el. The students will brainstorm themes that are occurring throughout the no"el. They will fill in a TH&-& brainstorm chart to help them brainstorm possible themes. *haracter'trait !ournals. The students will eep !ournals about the character traits of the characters in the no"el. This will help eep the students organi,e the characters because it is easy to mi. up the characters in the no"el. This will also help with the final product at the end# because the students will not ha"e to go bac and read different sections of the no"el. They can

read their character'trait !ournals instead. This will also help me determine if the students comprehend the no"el and that they don/t ha"e any misconceptions about the characters. The students will ha"e to write about the character/s physical appearance# personality traits# and actions. They will also ha"e to find something unique about each character to help them differentiate between the different characters. -uddiest 0oint +cti"ity. The students will fill out a -uddiest 0oint acti"ity sheet that has them answer the following question1 What was the most confusing thing you learned today2 They will do this regularly. *hapter %ummaries. The students will fill out a chapter summary that as s them to choose a 3%tar4 of the chapter# list the 5 ma!or e"ents that occurred in the chapter# draw a picture symboli,ing the conflict of the chapter# and find a meaningful quote or phrase# write it down# and then e.plain why the quote or phrase is meaningful to them. 6+7T e.ercise (6ole# +udience# 7ormat# Topic). The 6+7T e.ercise gi"es the students a safe way to write about the no"el. The students will assume a 6ole (presumably a character in the no"el). They will ha"e to write to a specific audience (the class# another character# etc.) in a specific format (pamphlet# letter# email# song# etc.). They will ha"e to write about a specific topic. There will be se"eral options# and the students will ha"e to pic two to three to write about. This e.ercise will help me determine if the students understand character relationships and e"ents in the no"el. This will also help the students engage in higher'order thin ing s ills. It is also a self' differentiated acti"ity to help those that are struggling in one area or another. *omplete (W) *hart. The students will put what they learned about themes in the ) column of the (W) chart. This will show me that they learned something from the unit.

%elf'&"aluation. The students will e"aluate their own pro!ects by grading themsel"es using the 7inal 0roduct 6ubric. They will need to circle the score they belie"e they deser"e# and they will need to put a reason for what they selected on each category. 7inal 0roduct 6ubric. The rubric for the final product will be gi"en to the students before the final product is due to help guide the students while completing the final product. I will use this rubric to grade the students/ final products.

-ntry ,oint8 I will put the Big Question (How does society affect change2) on the board and the

students will generate questions about the Big Question. We will discuss possible answers to the questions that the students generate. This will help us discuss one of the important themes in the no"el The $utsiders by %.&. Hinton.

Student"8enerated Questions1 The students will be generating questions about the Big Question

(How does society affect change2). The students will not try to answer the Big Question# but they will be generating questions to help clarify what the Big Question could be as ing and9or the students will be generating questions to help guide how we could find out an answer to the Big Question. &.amples of student'generated questions could be1 What is society2 Who ma es up a society2 What does society do2 &tc. The students will also fill out a (W) *hart about literary themes. They will ha"e to write about what they would li e to learn about literary themes# which would be more student'generated questions. +cquire and Internali,e (nowledge1 The students will acquire and internali,e nowledge by reading the no"el# The $utsiders. They will participate in indi"idual# small'group# and large'group reading. They will ha"e to eep a character'trait !ournal to help internali,e the multitude of comple. and simple characters that are present in the no"el. The students will also brainstorm possible answers to multiple unit questions while we go along. These could include1 How does society affect the indi"idual2 How does the indi"idual affect society2 What causes society to fail2 What responsibilities does society ha"e to its people2 What is the function of a society2 What are the repercussions if society fails2 The students will also ta e comprehension qui,,es to hold them accountable for indi"idual reading and for helping me determine what the students are understanding# and what they need e.tra help in understanding. When we finish the no"el# we will re"isit the answers we found9ga"e for the student'generated questions to see if we want to alter them# add to them# or ta e away from them. We also will re"isit our (W) charts and add in any of the 3)4 column for things we learned while reading the no"el. We will also do a theme'finding acti"ity where the students will brainstorm the themes that are present in the no"el.

:eepen ;nderstanding1 The students will complete a 6+7T (6ole# +udience# 7ormat# Topic) acti"ity. The students will ha"e to underta e a 6ole. This could be one of the characters present in the no"el. They will ha"e to write to a specific +udience in their role. This could be another character# the class# or the author. They will ha"e to write in a specific 7ormat. This could be a pamphlet# song# poem# email# letter# rap song# etc. They will ha"e to write on a specific Topic. There will be se"eral choices that the students can pic from# which will help the students automatically differentiate. These 6+7T e.ercises will be graded on content# not grammar or spelling. This will be a good way for the students to in"estigate character relationships# themes# societal issues# and other important topics that are present in the no"el. This will help the student thin more deeply about the topics in the no"el. They will ha"e to choose multiple writing pro!ects# so that they ha"e to thin in different ways about different situations. %ome of these situations will require the students to determine cause9effect relationships# identify and select patterns or trends# compare and contrast one e"ent in the no"el to another e"ent in the no"el# ma e a !udgment about a character as to whether or not they are responsible for any of the e"ents that occur# see the e"ents from se"eral "iewpoints# etc. *ulminating 0roduct1 The students will be gi"en their authentic tas 9problem.
