Grade 5: Module 1: Unit 3: Lesson 8
■ Consider that some students may be able to rely on background knowledge about plays and theater when discussing the programs and Directors’ Notes. Spend extra time contextualiz- ing these concepts if necessary. Display photographs or brief videos of plays and directors working with actors. Also consider inviting students to share experiences with plays and theater in their home languages and cultures.
■ The Opening of this lesson is designed for students to use internet sources as texts. If the technology necessary for students to complete the reading is unavailable, provide them with a printed copy of the texts.
■ In the Closing, students generate criteria for reading uency on the Fluent Readers Do These Things anchor chart in preparation for Part III of the End of Unit 3 assessment and performing their monologues as part of the module performance task (RF.5.4).
■ This lesson focuses on the following habits of character: working to contribute to a bet- ter world and working to become e ective learners. The characteristics that students are reminded of in this lesson are: apply my learning when discussing the module performance task and perseverance before reading the model Directors’ Note.
■ Students practice their uency in this lesson by following along and reading silently as the teacher reads the model Directors’ Note in Work Time A and by developing criteria for u- ent reading in the Closing.
■ The research reading that students complete for homework will help build both their vocab- ulary and knowledge pertaining to human rights. By participating in this volume of reading over a span of time, students will develop a wide base of knowledge about the world and the words that help describe and make sense of it.
How it builds on previous work:
■ Throughout the rst half of the unit, students wrote monologues based on an event from Esperanza Rising in which human rights were threatened. Students refer to the simpli ed version of the UDHR and the How Were the Human Rights of the Characters in Esperanza Rising Threatened? anchor chart as they begin planning their group’s Directors’ Note, which will explain how the human rights of the characters in their group’s monologues were threatened.
■ Throughout Unit 1, students were introduced to various total participation techniques (for example, cold calling, equity sticks, Think-Pair-Share, etc.). When following the directive to “Use a total participation technique, invite responses from the group,” use one of these tech- niques or another familiar technique to encourage all students to participate.
■ Continue to use Goal 1 and 2 Conversation Cues to promote productive and equitable conversation.
Areas in which students may need additional support:
■
Much of this lesson is discussion-based, so some students may need additional support with oral language and/or auditory processing. Consider providing sentence frames for stu- dents to refer to during discussions or a note-taking template for them to take notes during discussion.
