Students who need more time may take
both 10 minute blocks to draw, instead
of using the seocnd one to begin
drawing. Those students would be
expected to write bullet points in their
drawing next to signiciant items/people
in their drawing. This will more fludily set
them up to begin their writing next class
period.
Plans for after this lesson/competency is complete (How will you extend,
enrich?):
We will be timelining our stories next class, so this mapping activity is essential to
having students pick a physical space that they want their story to focus in on, and
subtly decide what items may be points of plot. Next class I will ask guiding
questions to the students about why they included to draw certain items in their
map, and what makes those items more significant than others. This will directly
corrolate to key ideas and plot points in their stories that we will discuss in
upcoming classes.
Key Resources Used: Websites, books, film clips, etc.
