  1. Expeditionary Learning Grade 8Module 1Unit 2 Case Study: WHY DO PEOPLE FLEE HOME?

  2. Lesson #14 Analyzing the Significance of the Novel’s Title: Connecting the Universal Refugee Experience to Inside Out & Back Again, Part 3

  3. Learning Objective: • Students will make connections and relate the process of mourning by the real-life refugee children to Ha’s experiences when she arrives in Alabama by doing a close read, taking notes, and answering text-dependent questions. • CCLS: • I can cite text-based evidence that provides the strongest support for my analysis of literary text. (RL.8.1) • I can cite text-based evidence that provides the strongest support for an analysis of informational text. (RI.8.1) • I can read above-grade informational texts with scaffolding and support. (RI.8.10)

  4. Lesson Vocabulary • Process of mourning • “Not the Same” (page 232): pouches • “Can’t Help” (page 173): solitude, jasmine, ashy, inhaling, yearning

  5. LEARNING TARGETS: • I can use the strongest evidence from the novel and from the informational text to support my answers to questions. • I can make connections between evidence of the universal refugee experience and the title of the novel Inside Out & Back Again.

  6. Jigsaw Part I: Pairs Reread Paragraph Four of “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison” and Connect to a Poem from the Novel with Text-Dependent Questions • Focus on the second sentence in Paragraph Four: “It is only natural that refugee children, along with their families, go through a process of mourning those losses.” Share with your partner: What do Ha and her family mourn the loss of? How do you know?

  7. “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison”: Paragraph Four Text-Dependent Questions, Part B Pages 102-103 in E.L. Workbook Today you are going to use these questions and make notes to dig deeper into Paragraph Four and better understand the mourning process for refugee children. You are going to relate the process of mourning by the real-life refugee children to Ha’s experiences when she arrives in Alabama. This column is for answers from the informational text. This column is for details from your assigned poem. You will work in pairs. Each pair will be assigned one poem from the novel to connect to the real-life refugee experiences in “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison.”

  8. Poems • The following poems will be assigned to pairs from different groups: “Not the Same” (page 232) “Can’t Help” (page 173) “Eternal Peace” (page 251) Directions: • Reread Paragraph Four of “Refugee and Immigrant Children: A Comparison.” • Think about the questions. • Discuss your thinking with your partner. • Then write your thinking down in the center column. • On your own, reread your pair’s assigned poem. • With your partner, discuss your thinking about the key details in the poem. • Then write your thinking down in the right-hand column. Ignore the synthesis question at the bottom of the form for now; you will come back to this in the second part of the Jigsaw.

  9. While You Work • Vocabulary you may need to know: “Not the Same”: pouches “Can’t Help”: solitude, jasmine, ashy, inhaling, yearning “Eternal Peace”: You should be familiar with the words in this poem. • Questions to think about while you read: What evidence of mourning can you find experienced by Ha in your poem? What is the strongest evidence of mourning that you can find in your poem?

  10. Jigsaw Part II: Group Discussion to Share Answers and Revisit Our Prediction • Share with your Numbered Heads group for five minutes. • Record new evidence from other poems on your question sheets. • Discuss and record an answer to the synthesis question on pg. 104. • *Look back at the predictions you made a few lessons ago about the similarities and differences between how refugee and immigrant children adapt. What similarities or differences can you now add to your original list? Which of the differences seem most important? Why?

  11. Closing: Adding to the Inside Out and Back Again Anchor Charts • Share some of your details from the informational text and the poem and justify whether you think the details show turning “inside out” or “back again.”

  12. Homework A. Remember that for the end of unit assessment, you are going to be writing about how the novel’s title, Inside Out & Back Again, relates to the universal refugee experience of fleeing and finding home, using Ha as an example. In order to describe how Ha turns “inside out” and “back again,” you first need to describe who she was before. Reread pages 18–49 and on your homework recording form, continue to collect the strongest evidence you can find to answer this question: “Who was Ha before she was forced to flee her home?” (This homework question was distributed in Lesson 12). Pg. 96 in your E.L. Workbook.
