In this lesson, students will be introduced to Edgar Allan Poe's theory on the “single effect” of the short story. They will read a passage from Poe as well as his short story “The Tell-Tale Heart.”Students will annotate the text to look for how the author uses Gothic elements to set a mood in the environment (the "single effect") and the changes or effects it has on the main character (the focus on the individual Poe is known for).

A short quiz on CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.9-10.5, featuring quotes from Margaret Atwood's book, The Robber Bride; Harper Lee's book, To Kill a Mockingbird; Leo Tolstoi's short story, "The Confessed Crime"; Anne Sexton's poem, "The Starry Night"; and, the TV Show, "Ben 10: Alien Force". Collected together, the quotes have a Dale-Chall text difficulty index of 4, and a Flesch-Kincaid level of 4.4.

This class focuses on reading a script theatrically with a view to mounting a coherent production. Through careful, intensive reading of a variety of plays from different periods and different aesthetics, a pattern emerges for discerning what options exist for interpretating a script. Students discuss the consequences of those options for production.

The Fall 2005 version of this course contains alternate readings and assignments sections.

Students will discuss and give reasons for their preferences and interests. They will practice discussing characters, plots, and elements of programs they already enjoy. Students will also decide appropriate ways to share their ideas in creating a new television program with a small group.

Students will be put into groups to create their own tv show using the vocabulary words provided on the slides.

Identify the plot elements of a fiction story and create your very own comic strip!

The superhero Super Flip is flipping out of comic books and flying to your rescue. This time, she’s helping you name the plot elements of a fiction story: character, setting, conflict, and resolution. She’ll even reveal her super power of turning the plot elements of a story into a comic!

Learning Objective: analyze plot elements, including the sequence of events, the conflict, and the resolution.

¡Identifica los elementos de la trama de una historia de ficción y crea tu propia tira cómica!

El superhéroe Super Flip está saliendo de los cómics y volando a tu rescate. Esta vez, ella le ayuda a nombrar los elementos de la trama de una historia de ficción: personaje, escenario, conflicto y resolución.

¡Incluso revelará su gran poder de convertir los elementos de la trama de una historia en un tira cómica!Objetivo de Aprendizaje: analizar los elementos de la trama, incluida la secuencia de eventos, el conflicto y la resolución.

Students learn about ultrasound and how it can be used to determine the shapes and contours of unseen objects. Using a one-dimensional ultrasound imaging device (either prepared by the teacher or put together by the students) that incorporates a LEGO(TM) MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT intelligent brick and ultrasonic sensor, they measure and plot the shape of an unknown object covered by a box. Looking at the plotted data, they make inferences about the shape of the object and guess what it is. Students also learn how engineers use high-frequency waves in the design of medical imaging devices, the analysis of materials and oceanographic exploration. Pre/post quizzes, a worksheet and a LEGO rbt program are provided.

Overview: In this lesson, students read background information on the life of William Carlos Williams. They closely examine and analyze a few of Williams' poems in order to understand his craft and the literary movement in which he formed his craft. Students explore different components of his poetry and then practice their own critical and poetry writing skills in an emulation exercise. 

Students will discuss and give reasons for their preferences and interests. They will practice discussing characters, plots, and elements of programs they already enjoy. Students will also decide appropriate ways to share their ideas in creating a new television program with a small group.

En este módulo, los estudiantes reconectan y profundizan su comprensión de las estadísticas y los conceptos de probabilidad introducidos por primera vez en los grados 6, 7 y 8. Los estudiantes desarrollan un conjunto de herramientas para comprender e interpretar la variabilidad en los datos, y comienzan a tomar decisiones más informadas de los datos . Trabajan con distribuciones de datos de varias formas, centros y diferenciales. Los estudiantes se basan en su experiencia con datos cuantitativos bivariados del grado 8. Este módulo prepara el escenario para un trabajo más extenso con muestreo e inferencia en calificaciones posteriores.
