     Maine Learning Results A. Reading A2 Literary Texts 9-Diploma The Romantic Period. Students read text, within a grade appropriate span of text complexity, and present analysis of fiction, nonfiction, drama and poetry using excerpts from the text to defend their assertions. d. Evaluate the themes in a literary text.      A FMQ will be given at the end of class asking the students, "What is your favorite movie? In this movie, who are the characters? What is the setting? What is the conflict? What do you think the theme is?"   Puzzle - Each student will be given a section of Frankenstein. The student must create a puzzle piece using Comic Life for the class "Frankenstein" puzzle. They will write a short summary on the puzzle piece and will put it into the class puzzle. That way, there is a visual summary for the students of "Frankenstein" They must also write on the puzzle piece who the characters are in this chapter, any themes they think might be forming, the setting, and the conflict. If there is not a conflict yet, the student may leave this blank. This product will be graded uses a checklist rather than a rubric. This project will be done in partners. Each chapter will be written down on two pieces of paper and placed into a bowl or hat. The students will each pick two pieces of paper (this may be slightly adjusted depending on class size). I will write on the board all of the chapter numbers. Starting with chapter one, I will ask who has the chapter and write it on the board. This way, the students will see who their partners are for each of their chapters. Students’ puzzle pieces will be graded on creativity, the accuracy and richness of their summary, and their coverage of the elements of the novel that apply to their chapter. I will grade their piece using a rubric, but the students may edit their puzzle pieces as they wish until the puzzle is complete.  <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">History: I will be giving a brief description of Mary Shelley and her life. Art: Designing the puzzle pieces will take artistic ability and design. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Each chapter will be written down on two pieces of paper and placed into a bowl or hat. The students will each pick two pieces of paper (this may be slightly adjusted depending on class size). The students will find their partners without using words (so, they may use their fingers or even draw to communicate with their peers). These will be the pairs for each of the chapters of “Frankenstein”. Groups will be formed by having the students line up according to shoe size (smallest to largest) and them breaking them into groups of four. Another way I will create groups is by giving each student a playing card as they enter the room. The groups will be created by having the even numbers together, the odd numbers together, and the royality numbers together. The groups will be split up further according to suit or color (depends on the class size) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Absent students - Handouts will be put in the class folder with the date and the name of the absent <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">student.

The students will make sense of and find meaning in literature from The Romantic Period. Students will be able to compare the themes of Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" to the themes of the other Romantic texts that have been covered in class. We will have class discussions about what a Gothic novel is, why it makes sense that Gothic novels are related to Romantic literature, and how “Frankenstein” fits into the definition of a Gothic novel. The elements of a novel will be understood by the students so that they can more easily make comparisons between contemporary and Romantic novels. The facet for this lesson in perspective, and by understanding what point of view means in terms of a novel, the students will have the ability of knowing from what point of view this novel was written and why it is effective (or ineffective!). <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Prior to the first class of this lesson, the students were given a paper to fill out on what movies they have seen and which are their favorites. After collecting these, I will find which is the most popular favorite that every student has seen. I will use this for my hook. My hook will be done on the first day of this lesson and will be my way of pre-assessing what the students already understand about the elements of a novel. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> A FMQ will be given at the end of class asking the students, "What is your favorite movie? In this movie, who are the characters? What is the setting? What is the conflict? What do you think the theme is?"

 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

Puzzle - Each student will be given a section of Frankenstein. The student must create a puzzle piece using Comic Life for the class "Frankenstein" puzzle. They will write a short summary on the puzzle piece and will put it into the class puzzle. That way, there is a visual summary for the students of "Frankenstein" They must also write on the puzzle piece who the characters are in this chapter, any themes they think might be forming, the setting, and the conflict. If there is not a conflict yet, the student may leave this blank. This product will be graded uses a checklist rather than a rubric. This project will be done in partners. Each chapter will be written down on two pieces of paper and placed into a bowl or hat. The students will each pick two pieces of paper (this may be slightly adjusted depending on class size). I will write on the board all of the chapter numbers. Starting with chapter one, I will ask who has the chapter and write it on the board. This way, the students will see who their partners are for each of their chapters. Students’ puzzle pieces will be graded on creativity, the accuracy and richness of their summary, and their coverage of the elements of the novel that apply to their chapter. I will grade their piece using a rubric, but the students may edit their puzzle pieces as they wish until the puzzle is complete. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Day 1 Prior to this class (so, the previous lesson) I asked the students what their favorite movie is out of a list of choices. They will also write beside each movie whether they have seen this movie or not. After reviewing these, I will pick the movie that is the most common favorite and that each student has seen. At the beginning of class, I will hand out their T-chart organizers for taking notes on definitions. I will write on the board the words "Players, Problem, Place, and Idea". We will have a class discussion about what fits into each of these categories. I will then write above these words "Characters, Conflict, Setting, and Theme". This will lead into our discussion about what each of these elements are (15 minutes)
 * __<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Teaching and Learning Sequence __****<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">: **

I will give a brief background on Mary Shelley. Each student will then receive a copy of "Frankenstein" (if the school does not have it, I have the online text). (20 minutes)

I will have the students pick their chapters for the puzzle project. I will explain the puzzle project and hand out the grading checklist for them. Each class, the chapters that have been read previously will be presented to the class. I understand that this is a lot of reading, which is why I am having the students complete the puzzle. This way, if a student falls behind they will still understand what is happening in the novel because each chapter is to be presented to the class. (15 minutes)

Since this is a difficult text, we will begin reading chapter 1 in class. If chapter 1 is completed, the students may continue reading. Their work outside of class is to read chapters 1-4. Chapters 1 and 2 only will present next class. I will hand out letters that the students must get signed from letters in order to watch the 1994 movie of "Frankenstein". The students may read at their own pace since this is a pretty lengthy and difficult novel, but the students are responsible for their chapters and for summarizing the chapters well enough so that if a student is struggling with the reading, they can understand what happened in the chapter. I am always available to assist the students. (20 minutes)

Day 2 Chapters 1-3 will present their puzzle pieces. We will hold a discussion about these chapters of the novel thus far. (20 minutes)

I will make sure everyone has gotten their permission forms signed. We will then begin to watch "Frankenstein". I will ask that the students really pay attention to the film so that we can compare and contrast the film to the book we are reading. (45 minutes)

I will allow students to work on their reading (chapter 5-8) and will allow the groups for next class (4-7) to work on their puzzle pieces. (15 minutes)

Day 3 Chapter 4-7 will present their puzzle pieces. We will hold a discussion about the novel so far. Who are our characters? What is the setting? Can we see a conflict yet or a theme?? (30 minutes)

Watch "Frankenstein" (45 minutes)

Assign the students their chapters (8-11) (5 minutes)

Day 4 Pop corn activity. Have each student write a question about the novel on a piece of paper, crumple it, and throw it in the center of the room. A student will pick a question, read it out loud, and as a class we will answer the question. (10 minutes)

Chapters 8-11 will present their puzzle pieces. We will hold a discussion about the novel. (30 minutes)

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Discussion about the film we watched. How was it different than the novel? Why do we think that the director decided to change what he did? What did the students think of the movie overall? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(20 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> Students may work on their reading. Students may see me at this time with any misunderstandings about the novel. Chapters 12-15 are due next class and they make work on their puzzle pieces. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10-20 minutes)

Day 5 <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Are there any clarifying questions about the reading? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Chapters 12-15 will present their pieces and we will have a discussion about the novel thus far. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(30 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Have the students line up from smallest shoe size to largest shoe size without words. Break the students into groups of 4 and give each group a sheet of poster paper. Ask the students what the word “Gothic” means to them. Have them write down their ideas. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(15 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Have each group present what their ideas on the word “Gothic”. Present to the students what a Gothic novel is. Why is “Frankenstein” considered a Gothic novel? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(15 minutes)

Students may work on their reading or see me with any misunderstandings about the novel. Chapters 16-19 are due next class and these students may work on their puzzle pieces. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes)

Day 6 <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Have the students ask questions about the novel to try to stump me (or, ask any questions that you would really like the answer to). This way, I can see how the students are doing with the reading and the novel in general. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> Chapters 16-19 will present. We will discuss the novel thus far. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(30 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">FMQ – Why is “Frankenstein” considered a Gothic novel? Can you give some examples to support this? Can you think of any other books or movies that might be considered Gothic? Why is this so? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes)

Students may work on their reading. As always, I am available to the students for questions. Chapters 20-24 are due next class and these students may work on their puzzle pieces. Ask the students to bring their graphic organizers to our next class! <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes)

Day 7 <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">As the students enter the classroom, have them each pick a card from a typical deck of cards. Have them set these on their desks for later. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(5 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> The remaining chapters will present their puzzle pieces. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(30 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be grouped using the cards they picked at the beginning of class. Even numbers will be in a group, odd numbers will be in a group, royal cards (jacks, kings, queens, aces…) will be a in a group. If the groups become too large, we will narrow them down by suit as well. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(10 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Each group will receive a large sheet of paper and markers. The students are to write down all of the elements of a novel that we talked about in this lesson (they may use their organizers). Then, they are to apply these to “Frankenstein” by drawing pictures. If drawing representations of each is too hard for the verbal students, they may use single words. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(15 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Groups will present their posters to each other. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">(20 minutes) <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be given graphic organizers which they will be encouraged to use for note taking. I will always have extra copies of these for any students who need more room or who would like to start over. There will be a popcorn activity in which the students each write a question they have about the novel on a piece of paper, crumple it, and throw it in the center of the room. A student will then pick one out, read it out loud, and we will all answer the question as a class. **Students will be able to do** compare a novel from The Romantic Period to contemporary novels. Since this lesson is fairly long, there will be a lot of group activities. Students will be grouped for one activity by asking them to line up according to shoe size. For another activity, the students will be put into groups according to a playing card they choose as they enter the classroom. The students were grouped for the puzzle activity by picking out of a bowl. The students are welcome to alter their puzzle pieces at any time. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">By completing the FMQ's, students will see what they know and what they don't know about the content. After reading the FMQ's, I will know whether or not I need to recover any information for the students. Since I allow my students to change their puzzle pieces, if I notice something is incorrect on their piece I can have a conversation with them. The grading for the puzzle will not be done until it is complete. The last group that presents will be given an extra week to make any changes to their puzzle pieces to be fair. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Theme – the moral of the story <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Characters – the reader should care about the characters in the novel.

 * Students will understand **<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> the elements of a novel by being familiarize with "Frankenstein" by Mary Shelley. By being able to analyze a text, the students will be strengthening their problem solving skills and will be more likely to solve problems in everyday life. By having the ability to make comparisons between Romantic literature and modern literature, students will be able to see how much has changed in that time period. //**Students read text, within a grade appropriate span of text complexity, and present analysis of fiction, nonfiction, drama and poetry using excerpts from the text to defend their assertions.**// Prior to this class (so, the previous lesson) I asked the students what their favorite movie is out of a list of choices. They will also write beside each movie whether they have seen this movie or not. After reviewing these, I will pick the movie that is the most common favorite and that each student has seen. At the beginning of class, I will hand out their T-chart organizers for taking notes on definitions. I will write on the board the words "Players, Problem, Place, and Idea". We will have a class discussion about what fits into each of these categories. I will then write above these words "Characters, Conflict, Setting, and Theme". This will lead into our discussion about what each of these elements are.

An FMQ will be given at the end of class asking the students, "What is your favorite movie? In this movie, who are the characters? What is the setting? What is the conflict? What do you think the theme is?" This way I will see where all of the students are at with the material. My on-going group/class project with the puzzle will show me that students are doing the reading and understand what the elements of a novel are. Students will know a little background information on Mary Shelley and her creation of the novel "Frankenstein". The students will also be presented with information about Gothic novels by working in groups. By allowing the students to think about what the word “Gothic” means to them, it will be easier for them to relate their meaning of the word to the literary meaning of the word. The students will use their knowledge of The Romantic themes to help them understand what the themes are in "Frankenstein". (see content notes)
