CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.9-10.1
Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or
texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence.
Students will be able to evaluate how the conflict of war affects the
innocence of children.
Students will be able to effectively communicate their thoughts on loss of
innocence and conflict through writing, using evidence from the drawings
provided.
Anticipatory Set, Hook or Engaging the Learner: (How will I gain students
attention?)
At the beginning of the lesson, students will listen to the song Children of
War by Abdullah Rolle
Students will be asked what the focus of the song is
o Anticipated response: children in war and their families
Students will be told that they will be participating in a Gallery Walk that asks
them to consider children in war and their loss of innocence
Instruction: (How will I present new material and make learning relevant? Bullet the
order and content you plan to teach in the lesson. Include proposed questions and
anticipated responses from students.)
Guided and Independent Practice: (How will I get students to practice/apply what
has just been taught?)
Guided
o Groups will participate in the Gallery Walk
o At each drawing, students will answer the following questions:
How old do you think the child that drew this was?
Do you remember what you were thinking about when you were
around that age? If so, what were your concerns? If not, what do
you think they might have been?
What do you normally expect children of that age to be
concerned with?
Based on the drawing, how do you think war affected the child
artist? What about the drawing makes you think that?
o Students will be instructed to write at least one complete sentence per
question.
Independent
o Students will be asked to write a paragraph, using complete sentences
and proper grammar, that explains their thoughts about how war
affects children as a whole. They will be asked to consider what might
happen to children who fight in wars as well.
Closure: (How can I bring closure to summarize learning and enhance retention of
the material?)
Alternate Plan B: (What will I do if students do not understand the material? What
will I do if technology doesnt work?)
If students do not understand the material, then time will be given to wholeclass discussion about children and war and/or loss of innocence
If the iPod and/or speaker does not work, students will be provided with a
transcript of the song lyrics.
During the Gallery Walk, the instructor will be able to monitor student
discussion and assess for understanding. If needed, some students and/or
groups will be given additional assistance.
Students will turn in their Gallery Walk papers to the instructor for
assessment. Students must cite evidence from the drawings and relate
If needed, students will be given extra time to discuss and write about each
drawing
If needed, some students may be required to answer fewer questions about
each drawing
The instructor will be available to provide assistance as necessary
Students with IEPs and 504 Plans will be accommodated as necessary.
Remediation
Enrichment
Students who require enrichment will be asked to think about what happens
to children who experience war (generally) as they grow up and how this
experience affects them later in life. They will be given the opportunity to
look at articles about specific groups of children in wars and/or short memoirs
by adults who are reflecting on their experiences in war as children.
