Instructor: Christal Lord/Isaac Chen

Class 706A/706B

Purpose:

The purpose of this lesson is to read and discuss chapters nine, ten and eleven to make text-to-self, text-to-text, and text-to-world connections.

Objectives: 

1. Students will learn that there are three kinds of connections they can make when they read: text-to-self, text-  to-text, and text-to-world.

2. Students will make connections from Peter Pan to their own life, to other texts they have read, and to things   going on around them.

3. Students will look at Chapter 9 and write down one thing that happened and their connection to it.

4. Students work will be monitored using IPAD by Distance Learning Teacher.

Lesson Plan:

1. Opening Question (3 minutes).  Write the following questions on the board and give students 3 minutes to answer in their notebooks.  Does this story remind you of any stories you have read before?  Explain your answer.

2. Mini Lesson (10 min). In today's mini lesson, students will be making connections. Explain to students that there are three kinds of connections.  Chart on the board while explaining to the students. The first is text-to-self which means that something in the story reminds you of something that has happened to you.  The next is text-to-text which is when something in the story reminds you of another story you have read before.  The third type of connection is a text-to-world connection, which is when something in a story reminds you of something you have seen around you but has not happened to you. 
3. Think-Pair-Share (5 minutes).  Ask the students to share their answers with their partners.  Ask for a few volunteers to share their answers with the whole group.  After each share, ask the students which of the three types of connections the sharer’s specific connection is.  Keep sharing until all three types of connections have been shared.
4. Independent Activity (7 min). Ask students to look again at Chapter 9 and write down one thing that happened and their connection to it.  Give about 5 minutes to do this before TPS and WGS.  If the content of their whole group share does not fully review what happened in Chapter 9, solicit the action of what happened in order to review the chapter.
5. Independent Activity Continued(10min) Have students work in pairs and  go through chapters 10 and 11 and fill out a chart using this example:

Picture or Passage	Connection	Type of Connection
Pg. 84 “Wendy, let us go home,” cried John and Michael together.	I remember one time when I went to my grandmother’s house when I was five, I cried to go home because I missed my mother.	Text-to-Self

After they are finished have students share out some of their work.

6.  Review/Introduction of Homework (2 min). Tell students that for homework, they will read chapters 9 and 10, and 11 independently.  They will take a quiz on Moodle on these chapters.  

7. Close the Lesson (1 min).  Tell students that next week, they will continue reading and discussing Peter Pan.
