  1. Unit 3:Short stories and question 28 ELA REGENTS PREP PD. 3

  2. Do Now: Monday, may 5th • Happy Cinco De Mayo! • Find your group from last week and look over the short story on your desk. • Look at the questions in the margins. Predict: What do you think we’re about to do?

  3. Why would we read short stories? • Short stories are fun and interesting short pieces of text. • They use lots of literary elements and techniques. Why do you think that? • You can use them on your Regents exam to write your critical lens essay. So, if you HATED Night, maybe you’ll like the short stories better.

  4. ‘AN Occurrence at owl creek bridge’ • We’re going to start our first short story today. We have 3 goals for today. • Goals: • 1. Select members of your group to read the story aloud. • 2. Read and answer the comments in the margin of the text as you listen. Help each other out when you get to a tough one. • 3. When you get to the stopping point for day 1, we will begin a small class discussion.

  5. Chipping in: discussion activity • Your Task: After you have read the first section of ‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge,’ use the questions below to discuss the story with your group. Here’s how it goes:

  6. WHAT THE COLORS MEAN… • Each group member has three poker chips. Each color represents a different contribution to the discussion • Green = You would like to answer a question or add on to what someone else has said • Red = You would like to respectfully disagree with what someone has said and offer a different idea • Blue = You would like to ask a new (follow-up) question to the group

  7. HOW YOU PARTICIPATE… • The object of the activity is that each member of your group gets rid of all three poker chips. • If you get rid of all your chips, you must wait for everyone else to give in their chips before speaking again…Respect the chips!!!

  8. Finally…reflection time! • One thing that was wavy about this activity was… • One thing that was wack about this activity was…

  9. Tomorrow: • We will finish the story and continue our discussion on ‘An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge’

  10. Do now: Tuesday, may 6th • Look at the images inside the folder • Use the sticky notes at your desk to identify a literary element or technique that you see in at least one of the pictures. • Use the example on the front of the folder if you’re stuck!

  11. Agenda: Tuesday, may 6th

  12. While you discuss… • Use the boxes to record one memorable answer, add on, disagreement, or question presented by each member of your group. • Example:

  13. WHAT THE COLORS MEAN… • Each group member has three poker chips. Each color represents a different contribution to the discussion Green= You would like to answer a question or add on to what someone else has said Red = You would like to respectfully disagree with what someone has said and offer a different idea Blue = You would like to ask a new (follow-up) question to the group

  14. Wavy & Wack Use the three questions on your half-sheet of paper to reflect on today’s reading and discussion. • 1. Were you able to get rid of all three poker chips during your discussion? Why or Why not? • 2. One thing I did that was wavy was… • 3. One thing that was wack about today was…

  15. Do Now: Wednesday, May 7th • What are some multiple choice test-taking strategies that have helped you in the past? Try to come up with 1-2 that you could offer to the group… • Use the sticky notes on your desk to write down a suggestion or idea.

  16. Strategies for Multiple Choice..

  17. Agenda: Wednesday, May 7th

  18. Quick note: • From this point on in the class, our week will flow something like this: • Monday-Short Story + Activity • Tuesday-Short Story + Activity • Wednesday-Multiple Choice/Listening Activity • Thursday-Writing Practice (Question 28) • Friday-Writing Practice (Question 28)

  19. Multiple Choice Practice We’re practicing multiple choice to get your speed up for the regents. • Time management: You should expect to spend about 15 minutes reading the passage and answering the questions. Since there are 2 passages, you should spend 30 minutes total on both multiple choice sections.

  20. Do Now: Thursday, may 8th • Select one of the quotes from your worksheet that you feel you could interpret. • Write down your ideas on what this quote means in the space directly below the quote. • Do worry about the other stuff on the page yet :]

  21. Wtf is a critical lens? • A 4-paragraph essay on the Regents Exam • Writing with a Critical Lens means: you look adopt the viewpoint of the quote and then analyze two works of literature from the viewpoint of the quote.

  22. Intro Paragraphs: • Sentence 1: (Author’s Name) once said, “_____(quote)_____.” • Sentence 2: This quote means that (interpretation of the quote in your own words). • Sentence 3: I agree/disagree (always agree) with this quote because (real-life example)… • Sentence 4: The two works of literature that can support this quote are (title 1) by (author 1) and (title 2) by (author 2).

  23. Body Paragraphs: • You need to include two body paragraphs in your critical lens essay. • The organizer in front of you will help you write your body paragraphs. • Use the sample essay in front of you to find an example on how to write each body paragraph. • Your goal for the remainder of class: Write one body paragraph in your organizer

  24. Body Paragraph Checklist • Topic Sentence • Example (give specific event from the book you chose—you may want to skim through old handouts and worksheets) • Interpret/explain-How does this part of the story connect to the quote? • Literary Element/Technique (just like question 27! The author always uses setting, conflict, mood) • Explain-What does this literary element help the reader do? • Conclude-Wrap up your ideas (refer back to the quote one last time)

  25. Conclusion Checklist Restate the quote: As (author) once said, (quote). Summary of Body 1: The author main character of Nightproved this quote to be true many times throughout the novel…. Summary of Body 2: Similarly, Atticus learns the lesson in To Kill A Mockingbird when… Final Remark- Why is this quote important to people in everyday life? How does this quote apply to every day life? Why should readers “remember” this quote/advice?
