The objective of this small group learning experience is to design a preliminary sketch for a text set.
- Identify an anchor text and discuss it within your group.
- The emphasis of your text set is to build on factual knowledge and to develop conceptual understanding of the anchor text.
- Use Bloom’s taxonomy to write a learning objective with an active higher order verb: By the end of the lesson, I will be able to…
- Design the lesson to be relevant and engaging for students.
- Identify five (5) texts (monomodal and multimodal) to include in your text set.
- For each text, write a sentence discussing how it relates to the anchor text and/or other included texts.
- Briefly discuss how your Text Set Lesson Sketch is designed to scaffold student learning.
I invite you to collaborate in a shared Google Doc environment and to post your Preliminary Lesson Sketch Google Doc to your blog. Please title the post “Preliminary Lesson Sketch,” include a brief description and a still image that represents the lesson sketch.
