Name: Hailey Spratte Lesson #7

Student Learning Objective(s) and Related Assessment(s): Students will be able to

learn about greed. This means that students look for greed within the text, and whether or
not it is positive or negative.
Students will be able to determine whether or not a narrator is reliable or not. This means
that students understand characteristics of narrators, and are able to draw on story aspects
to determine truthfulness.
Students will define greed, narrator, supernatural, reliability, etc. This means that students
fill out their INB vocab section with these words and their descriptions.

Materials/Resources:
Students will need their INB, and their “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” text. The
students will also need a writing utensil.

Learning Activities:

Initiation:
Today’s lesson would start with the students writing in their INB’s. Students will
be asked to write about a dream that they have had that was so realistic that they
thought that was actually happening in real life. If this has not occurred for the
student, they must write about a realistic even that has never happened to them,
but realistically could. (10 Minutes)

Lesson Development:
Today we will start reading “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” by Washington
Irving together. I will be reading today, and I will stop when the text is
challenging and will use the time to talk with students about what is going on. In
addition, we will stop and add words to our vocabulary bank in our INB as they
arise in our reading. (30 minutes)

Closure: To end, students will write again in their INB. Students will be asked to
write about their first impressions of the text, and any questions that they have at
this point. Once the students are finished with this, the rest of the time will be
used to read their out of class reading novel. (20 Minutes)
Individuals Needing Differentiated Instruction: Some students may have more words
that they need defined than what we cover in class. In this case, students will highlight
the word and work on this during independent time. Advanced students would benefit
from using the words in a sentence in their vocabulary banks after defining the term.
