IV. Implementation:
A. Introduction
1. The students will be given a Pretest for The Outsiders unit. This Pretest
will test their abilities and prior knowledge about making inferences,
discovering theme, vocabulary knowledge, and argumentative writing. I
will use the results to adapt my instruction during the novel and lessons.
For the introduction, I will be playing The Outsiders movie trailer.
B. Development
1. Day One: (53 minutes)
For day one, I will have the students, in assigned reading groups by
table, take turns reading aloud. I will give them the vocabulary
word list and they can work together to fill in the vocabulary
definitions using context clues. (We will review the definitions at
the end of each section.)
D. Accommodations/Differentiation
1. The third period class will need reading accommodations. The class is
small with only 15 students, so I will take turns with them reading aloud
to them. They also will need more guidance finding the vocabulary
words and I will provide scaffolding to them along the way.
E. Assessment/Evaluation plan
1. Formative:
a. Student includes
i. textual evidence from The Outsiders.
ii. what the dialogue reveals about the character(s).
iii. how the dialogue propels the action.
iv. how the dialogue may or may not provoke a
decision.
2. Summative:
At the end of the unit, the students will be given a final exam with
information from this lesson on analyzing dialogue on the exam.
V.

I have one student who did not meet acceptable performance on analyzing a quote. I will
remediate with individual instruction finding dialogue to analyze and making predictions,
revealing aspects of characters, and finding the decision being made.
B. Personal Reflection (Questions written before lesson is taught. Reflective answers
to questions recorded after lesson is taught.)
