Lesson #2 Previewing the Anchor Text & Discussing Identity Sixth Grade ELA / Mr. Kelley / Northeast Middle School

Jaguar Jumpstart Today, we are discussing the concept of identity. Let’s discuss your identity. Write five sentences telling us about yourself.

Yesterday, we: .. Read “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost . Learned that… LITERAL MEANING = what is actually happening in the poem FIGURATIVE MEANING = what it could represent or connect with in our lives

METAPHOR = comparing two things without using like or as Yesterday, we:. . Learned that… METAPHOR = comparing two things without using like or as . . . EXTENDED METAPHOR = keeping that comparison going for most of the poem

Read “The Road Not Taken” again . Today, we will:. .. Read “The Road Not Taken” again . Preview The Witch of Blackbird Pond. . Discuss the meaning of the word “identity.” . .

Let’s Preview! For the fourth quarter, we are studying a novel entitled THE WITCH OF BLACKBIRD POND, by Elizabeth George Speare.  We will be transported to the time of the Puritans, when rules were strict, and non-conformity was often mis-interpreted as witchcraft. We will read about Kit, who has grown up on the island of Barbados, loved and pampered by her grandfather.  But after his death, she must leave.  It is not proper for a sixteen-year-old girl to live by herself.  Alone and desperate, she sets sail to join her aunt and uncle in Connecticut. When she arrives, she is shocked by the grey, damp landscape, but even more by the Puritanical lifestyle of her uncle's home.  The colonists begin to think that Kit is a witch.  Kit has made one friend by the name of Hannah Tupper.  If the colonists discover that Kit and Hannah are friends, they will suspect Hannah is a witch as well.   ​How will Kit handle this dilemma?  

Let’s Preview! Meet Kit!

What life lessons can we gather from “The Road Not Taken”? Let’s Discuss! What life lessons can we gather from “The Road Not Taken”? . The choices we make in our lives are important because they can change the directions of our lives, for good or bad. Since our choices have an important impact on our life, they can also be a factor in shaping our identity. Parts of our identity are defined by the choices we make. Sometimes we can allow others’ perceptions--including our family, our church friends, our society--to influence how we view a decision we have to make.

In this lesson, we defined “identity.” Let’s Close! . In this lesson, we defined “identity.” We learned that our identity can be shaped by the choices we make.

TCAP Preparation INFERENCES Making an inference involves using what you know to make a guess about what you don't know. It is also called “reading between the lines.”. (text + what I know)

TCAP Preparation CENTRAL IDEA The central idea in a piece of writing is the point that the author wants you to remember most. The central idea can be found in three places: 1. in the beginning of a text 2. near the end of a text 3. not stated but implied through most the sentences The majority of the details given will be explaining or describing the main idea.

TCAP Preparation CENTRAL IDEA

TCAP Preparation PLOT and CHARACTERS Every story is a series of events (plot). Events lead to new feelings in the characters. New feelings lead to changes. This means the characters are dynamic. People do not stay the same.

TCAP Preparation TEXT STRUCTURE

TCAP Preparation POINT OF VIEW the way the author allows you to “see” and “hear” what’s going on. Skillful authors can fix their readers’ attention on exactly the detail, opinion, or emotion the author wants to emphasize

TCAP Preparation POINT OF VIEW First-person point of view is in use when a character narrates the story with I-me-my-mine in his or her speech. Second-person point of view, in which the author uses you and your, is rare; authors seldom speak directly to the reader. Third-person point of view is that of an outsider looking at the action.

TCAP Preparation POINT OF VIEW

TCAP Preparation Compare and contrast the written version of a story to an audio or video version. _____________________________ They usually tell the same story, but they focus on different aspects. They tell it in different ways.

TCAP Preparation GENRES Two main categories of genres: fiction and non-fiction: NON-FICTION: Biography Autobiography Speech FICTION: Drama Poetry Fantasy Humor Science Fiction And many more…

TCAP Preparation GENRES When they say to compare and contrast two different genres, they will give you a sample of each. Then they will want to know how they are alike and how they are different.

TCAP Preparation GENRES

TCAP Preparation CLAIMS and EVIDENCE A claim is a statement about something, which should be supported with evidence.  Claims are usually controversial, in the sense that not everyone agrees with them. That is why they require evidence.
