The identity of a country is vast. It lies within all the values of its people. There are hundreds of ideals that America has chosen to base its country around. The values that the United States chose to focus on were very important to shaping the way people saw the nation and the way the people saw themselves. It remains important to this day for the people to make sure their values are correct. We will go through a couple of the most important values that America is built upon and we’ll hit on some others in our pieces of literature. This identity is still being built and modified to this day so this topic can certainly be looked throughout the entire time period in question.

Students learn how to annotate texts through the process of C.A.T.C.H. Then, they will use their annotations to make meaning by inferring/interpreting and evaluating/making judgments. Through this 10 1/2 minute video instruction and three handouts students will learn and practice an easy to remember 3-step process to critical thinking that will make their learning visible and help them discover how and why they can make meaning out of everything they read, see, and hear. Now they will have ready answers for discussions, questions, essay-writing, and quizzes.

In this lesson various quotes that are stated by characters in Hidden FIgures are written on chart paper. Students will use the chalk talk protocol to write explaing their thoughts, connections, and questions about the quote first and then respond to what their classmates have written. Students will move in small groups from paper to paper guided by a timer. After they have finished, students will discuss big ideas on the chart paper and then discuss and share out how this quote teaches us about the person based on inferences we have made with this activity. Do we think this what the author intended us to think? This protocol can be used for any book or topic in many subject areas. There will also be reflection as an informative assessment.
This lesson is designed for a sixth or seventh-grade English Language Arts class; however, can be used in other classes where character analysis is necessary such as a drama class, history class, etc. Learners will work through a series of tasks incorporating text, pictures, and videos to define character analysis, compare and contrast direct and indirect characteristics, describe character traits using direct characterization, and analyze characters using indirect characterization. This lesson can be tailored to fit individual students’ interests and hobbies by changing the pictures they are describing in the introduction activity. The resources used to create this lesson are a hybrid of resources—online videos are used to capture the learners’ attention and interests and a Word document with a chart identifying direct and indirect characteristics that will need to be printed out for each student and a piece of paper will be necessary for students to complete the first activity as well. Students will also have extra practice with analyzing characters by completing the activity in the “Challenge Yourself” section. This section ensures that students are transferring their learning of character analysis from video to literature selections.
The attached Lesson Plan is for kindergarten or first-grade students. Students will tell about their favorite part of a fiction book, draw a picture, and write sentences/words to describe.
