 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: //**//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **It is important for students to be able to analyze literature and find emphasis and key points; this is stated in the CCSS. Also it allows students to be able to think beneath the surface when reading newspapers and seeing media images.** //


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Assessments: __****<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be assessed on their blog posts. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create Tumblr or Blog posts (links to students’ blogs will be on the class wiki) about the skit remake they did in class. They will also talk about the different forms of literature and critique them and discuss how they are created and why they are created as they are. Students will work on these, mainly in class, and have the opportunity to ask questions from peers and the instructor in class. While the students are working the instructor will go around and check on the students. Also as the students are working the instructor can leave feedback and comments using the “comment” feature on their posts.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">(**K**-**W**-L) [At the start of the unit] In a journal respond to the following questions; to you what is literature? What sort of literary devices were used in the last book you read? How did the author influence that book? What do you want to learn in this class? What is your favorite aspect of literature?
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Pre-Assessment: __**


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Formative (Assessment for Learning) __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section I – checking for understanding during instruction **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete an “As I See It” chart. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The "As I see It" activity consists of students writing a personal statement, an explanatory statement, prediction statement, and a confusion declaration down. These statements will be based on materials read in class so far and what we have discussed as a class. The statements do not need to be any longer than four sentences but can be as long as the students want.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">On an exit ticket (later can be inserted into students journals) reflect on whether you think your remake is better than the original, why? How does changing the form change the story? The emphasis? The meaning? Also near the beginning of this lesson students will be creating a short skit reenactment. The skit will show students understandings of critical details in the text and major events in the stories

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will have think sessions to when working on blogs, also teachers and peers will comment on blog postings. The blogs will be graded using a checklist, each component being worth on point. Each blog is graded individually.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher) **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create blog or tumblr posts talking about the skits done in class as well as how the emphasis affects the different Poe stories and versions. In the posts
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Summative (Assessment of Learning): __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> students will talk about the skit remake they did in class. They will also talk about the different forms of literature and critique them and discuss how they are created and why they are created as they are. Links to the student’s blogs or tumblrs for the class will be put in the class wiki.

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Tumblr Posts __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: Post your critiques on our readings, and comment on your peers posts.
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Integration __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Technology: **

__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Theater: __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> The students creating and performing their own skits based on Poe short stories allows them to work not only on their English skills but also on their public speaking and acting skills as well. __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Computer Literacy: __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> The students throughout the unit will be using new technologies and learning how to navigate them and get the most out of new tool found on the computer and internet.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Content Areas: **

This will work as a pre assessment done at the beginning of class. It allows students to see where they are and how they feel about the material and make a prediction. This allows students to work further into the material. They get a chance to think more about the material and edit it in a way that makes sense to them while still keeping the main meaning of the stories intact. This gives students a chance to share their thoughts and allow students to learn from their peers. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This also allows students to learn from their peers, both as the one who is commenting and the one who reads the comments.
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Groupings __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction **
 * “As I See It Chart”
 * Script writing and skit performing
 * Class discussions
 * Commenting on peers blogs, students helping their peers

Working in groups for the skits allows students to learn to cooperate with each other and compromise. Also this makes it easier for students to create skits and collaborate.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section II – Groups and Roles for Product **
 * Students will be put into their “form” groups for the skit

Creating blog posts allows students to share their opinions and thoughts in a space that is their own. It also makes commenting easier and more efficient.
 * Students will create blogs and be responsible for commenting on their peers blogs


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Differentiated Instruction __**


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">MI Strategies __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Natural: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will be going outside to reenact scenes to help them think about setting and even weather and what kind of role it plays in stories. Also students can use twigs and rocks to represent certain objects in the stories and use them as props.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Kinesthetic:** Students will have the opportunity to get up and move by getting into character and reenacting a scene.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Visual:** Students will get to watch their classmates’ skits. This will help reinforce major points and the critical details of the stories that they've gone over in class.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Intrapersonal:** Students will fill out an exit card which will give them an opportunity to reflect. They will also reflect individually with the “As I See It” sheet.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Verbal:** Students will have the opportunity to recite lines and listen to their peers listening to others recite their lines. There will also be multiple class discussions.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Interpersonal:** Student will be working in groups to create the skit. Students will create scripts and act out their scripts together.


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Modifications/Accommodations __**
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan) //**//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. //


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Plan for accommodating absent students: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Absents students will be given a copy of the readings as their homework and also asked to read their classmates blogs on the skits they missed in class. They will then write a blog about what they think of the skits based on the blog readings and complete the other blogs in the same manner as their classmates. **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> They will also be asked to make an extra blog acting as their “exit card” and send the instructor an email with any confusion on questions they have on the materials so far since they were unable to complete the “As I See It” chart.


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Extensions __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create Tumblr or Blog posts (links to students’ blogs will be on the class wiki) about the skit remake they did in class. They will also talk about the different forms of literature and critique them and discuss how they are created and why they are created as they are.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Type II technology: **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Gifted Students: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Gifted students will be given different prompt questions for their blog postings. They will not be given extra questions or asked to do extra blog posts; they will merely receive a different set of questions via email than the rest of the class. These questions will ask the students to go more in depth with the readings and begin making their own critiques and interpretations. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[Homework would have been to read “The Premature Burial” and “The Black Cat” for homework] **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Show students the image of bell and casket mechanism while students partake in the “buried alive” activity”. It after getting to know the class through the first week or previous lessons the “buried alive” activity” doesn’t seem like a good fit, do the “exquisite corpse” group writing activity. Discuss fears and how it can be a powerful literary tool. Graphic organizers will be handed out in case students want to take notes during the discussion. **

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">DAY TWO **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students will be put into groups using their “character” teams and together they will choose a section of a short story (that we’ve gone over in class) to remake and perform as a skit. They will tell the instructor what story and section they have selected and the teacher will write it on the board to avoid top much overlap. (15 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*The class will go outside to prepare their skits. Students can edit the stories, but need to keep the overall meaning intact. (35 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students will perform their skits, about five minutes for each skit (20 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students will go back inside and be told their homework (10 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> [The homework is to write up their thoughts and reactions to the skits] **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[]
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Day THREE **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students sit with their “form” partner/groups **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Tutorial on how to use tumblr (10 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students make an account and link their tumblrs to the class wiki (10 min **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students copy and paste (or type up if they’ve handwritten) their tumble post for the skits from last class and tag the post as “skit” (10 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*There is a class discussion on the process of transforming literature and vocabulary and new literary devices are gone over (20 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students are given time to create tumbles. The tumbles are on how authors transformed some of Poe’s short stories and poems. This can go as far back as the “Raven Rap” (20 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Students fill out an exit card (10 min) **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Questions on the board for students to answer on exit card: **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*Reflect on why you think the remake of one of Poe’s stories is better than the original. Why? **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*How does changing the form change the story? The emphasis? The meaning? **


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Section One __**


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The classroom will be in the same formation as the last lesson. Clusters will be formed in a “u” shape creating a semi-circle around the board. This allows students to be with their groups while still being able to see all their peers for class discussion and also they are all oriented towards the board and the instructor for when notes are being written or tutorials are being given. **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will understand that literature is very diverse and represents and emphasizes many different events, objects, and meanings.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Being able to deconstruct and closely examine pieces of writing is a skill needed in everyday life. Even when reading the newspaper it is wise to examine and think closely about what is being read. This allows students to become independent thinkers and keeps them from being subconsciously influenced by the media other sources.

//** Integration of Knowledge and Ideas **//

// As a hook an image of a bell and casket contraption will be put on the overhead projector and briefly explained. We will then have a brief discussion on fear and how fear and other emotions work as a powerful tool when creating literature. Students will be drawn into conversation by the image and also questions such as “Does anyone here like horror films? Films that are emotional or make you cry? Why is that?” //

// During the hook those who are visual will get to learn about how past fears of being buried alive were handled with an image and a description of the image with a diagram. Also those who are interpersonal will get to engage in a discussion with their peers about emotions and their power in literature and other mediums. //


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Where, Why, What, Hook Tailors: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Visual, Intrapersonal, Verbal, Kinesthetic, Natural, and Interpersonal**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Second Section__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete an “As I See It” activity individually. This shows the instructor what the students know, don’t know, and how they are thinking about the material. It allows the instructor to know all the confusions in the classroom and address them immediately. As for a cooperative learning activity, students will work together to create a skit remake of a scene from one of Poe’s short stories. This allows the teacher to see if students are able to recreate a piece of literature while keeping the overall meaning intact. After, each student will complete an exit card. This shows the teacher whether or not they were able to address the confusions of their students and whether any new questions have risen. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Kinesthetic learners are able to get up and move around and reenact a scene from the stories they’ve been reading in class. This gets them right into the material. Naturalist will get to move around outside finding the perfect setting for their skit remake as well as selecting different natural materials to stand for different objects and symbols from the stories. Interpersonal individuals will be able to work with their group to create a skit. They will also act with them and work through any issues they have with the material. Intrapersonal learners have time to reflect at the beginning and at the end of class. The “As I See It” activity allows them to share what they know, don’t know, and want to know. The “exit card” lets the teacher know if there is still any confusion or if any knew questions have come up. Both these activities also allow the teacher to check for understanding.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will know important people and events and critical details. This includes all of the characters in "The Tell-Tale Heart" and "The Oval Portrait". An example of a critical detail would be the milky eye in "The Tell-Tale Heart". (See Content Notes)

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **__Third Section__**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will be able to critique the different forms of literature and how they are created.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will get into groups using their “Form” partners. In their groups they will recreate a scene from one of Poe’s short stories into a skit. This gets students to understand the process of recreating something will drawing from source material in a hands on manner. Before the students perform there will be time for peer feedback and the instructor will also have a chance to go over their script as well. Students will also create a blog posts and comment on their peer’s posts which allow them to communicate in a new way with each other. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will complete an "As I See It" activity before they go outside and begin working on their skit. The "As I see It" activity consists of students writing a personal statement, an explanatory statement, prediction statement, and a confusion declaration down. These statements will be based on materials read in class so far and what we have discussed as a class. The statements do not need to be any longer than four sentences but can be as long as the students want. Pairs can help other pairs during the creating process to help with revisions. Ideas can be polished and explained in their tumblr posts.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> >”As I See It” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This sheet works as a pre assessment. It asks the students <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Do you feel confident about your knowledge of different forms of literature? What one is your favorite? Why? How does your favorite form/genre of literature compare to your LEAST favorite? What forms/genres of literature do you think will increase in popularity in the future? Decrease? <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">>Exit Cards <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This is an informal assessment to show the teacher where the students are and how they feel about the material so far. They will be asked to fill it out at the end of class and will have to hand it in before leaving the classroom. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">>Replies to blog posts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This helps students learn from their peers. Both commenting on a peers post and reading posts made by peers helps students gain skills in critiquing. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">>Reviews of scripts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">This allows students to think about what was done in class. It promotes further thinking and critique.

 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Content Notes __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will know vocabulary including catalepsy, lethargic, profundity, indubitably, etc. as well as critical details. If students are struggling on the vocabulary have them go over the graphic novel versions first so they can focus on the basic story and plot and symbols, then let the things like vocabulary come after wards. There are no vocabulary tests, but students should feel as though they are expanding their personal vocabulary.

// Day One //

// The tables should be in a similar fashion as last class. Cluster tables forming a “u” shape around the board. As students walk in there should be an image of a bell and a casket contraption //**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">( **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">URL:http://a2.l3images.myspacecdn.com/images02/13/ad93a6c40905477691b07f2204fe8301/l.jpg**) and a brief discussion on fear and using fear as a powerful tool in writing and literature should take place once everyone is seated and after the device is described (The device was created for those who feared being buried alive. A piece of string was tired to their wrist and the string led to a bell above the surface. If the person in the casket was buried alive all they would need to do was move their wrist and the bell would ring thus letting those nearby know that they were not yet dead.). After the discussion students will be put into groups using their “character” partners. As a group they will decide which part of what Poe short story they want to remake as a skit. Once they decide the instructor will put the groups “name” and their choice on the board to avoid too much overlap. Once everyone has chosen the groups will go outside to remake their skits. They can change the words and setting but the overall meaning must remain intact. Students can use their surroundings to get inspired, also branches and such can be used as props or to stand for something (Such as the raven or the bust of Pallas from “The Raven”). After students will perform, there will be about five minutes of performing time for each of the five groups. It should be suggested to the students that they write notes on other skits and what they changed and what changes were successful. After the skits are performed the class will go back inside and told to read “The Premature Burial” and “Black Cat” for homework.**


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Day Two **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will sit with their “form” groups. The teacher will go over a brief tutorial on blogger (which can be found here: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">[]**). Students will follow along and make an account. If a student already has a Tumblr account, they can use that instead. Once the accounts are made the students will link their accounts to the class wiki. Students will them be given time to create a blog based on the skits from last class. They should talk about what changes seemed successful and how the skits compared to the original text. Then a class discussion on the process of remaking and recreating skits will ensue. Literary devices and new vocabulary will be mentioned. Then students will be given more time to create blogs on how the authors remade some of Poe’s short stories and poems and drew from his work. Then before students can leave the class they will fill out the exit card questions on an index card. The questions “Reflect on whether you believe your remake is better than the original and why?, How does changing form change the story? The emphasis? And the meaning?” will be put on the board for the students to answer. The students do not need to copy the questions since the teacher will know them. Once they have finished they may hand their card in and leave, if it is time for students to leave for their next class but they are not quite done they can show the teacher what they have and then put their answers in a blog post before next class which the teacher can later check.**

//** Standard 3 – Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development. **//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Learning Styles**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Clipboard: The tutorials are step-by-step and blogs are carried out in a specific organized manner.**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Microscope: When creating the script students will get to go through the stories and search for key details and important events.**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Puppy: Students will have a chance to interact with their peers when they create and perform their skits. Also there are a lot of group discussions. Also there are a lot of group discussions. Students will also have the chance to share their feelings and thoughts and opinions on the text in a respectful classroom environment.**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Beach Ball: The class will be getting up and moving around and there are multiple activities that the class will be doing. There is constant change in the lessons.**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Rationale: It is essential to cater to those of all learning styles. This helps ensure that all students are given the opportunity to learn and understand.**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.**//

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> //**Content Knowledge: Literature; Reading**//

 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: Creating tumblr posts allow students to critique and make connections. It also allows students to work on their own online space. Commenting and peer critiques become more fast and efficient when done online. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs. //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">MI Strategies: //**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Natural: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> Students will be going outside to reenact scenes to help them think about setting and even weather and what kind of role it plays in stories. Also students can use twigs and rocks to represent certain objects in the stories and use them as props.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Kinesthetic:** Students will have the opportunity to get up and move by getting into character and reenacting a scene.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Visual:** Students will get to watch their classmates’ skits. This will help reinforce major points and the critical details of the stories that they've gone over in class.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Intrapersonal:** Students will fill out an exit card which will give them an opportunity to reflect. They will also reflect individually with the “As I See It” sheet.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Verbal:** Students will have the opportunity to recite lines and listen to their peers listening to others recite their lines. There will also be multiple class discussions.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;"> **Interpersonal:** Student will be working in groups to create the skit. Students will create scripts and act out their scripts together.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create Tumblr or Blog posts (links to students’ blogs will be on the class wiki) about the skit remake they did in class. They will also talk about the different forms of literature and critique them and discuss how they are created and why they are created as they are.
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Type II Technology: //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: //Creating blogs gets students to start publishing their ideas and creations. Also independent thinking allows students to expand their understanding of the material and gives birth to their own opinions, critiques, and interpretations.// //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner. //**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">On an exit ticket (later can be inserted into students journals) reflect on whether you think your remake is better than the original, why? How does changing the form change the story? The emphasis? The meaning? Also near the beginning of this lesson students will be creating a short skit reenactment. The skit will show students understandings of critical details in the text and major events in the stories.
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Formative: //**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Students will create blog or tumblr posts talking about the skits done in class as well as how the emphasis affects the different Poe stories and versions. In the posts students will talk about the skit remake they did in class. They will also talk about the different forms of literature and critique them and discuss how they are created and why they are created as they are. Links to the student’s blogs or tumblrs for the class will be put in the class wiki.
 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Summative: //**


 * //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Rationale: **Skits allow student to be actively involved in the material and gives them hands on experiences. The blogs allow students to have something of their own that they’ve created, and** **give them a place to critique, interpret, and explore the material.** //** ||  ||   ||
