GRADE 6 ELA EXEMPLAR LESSON – Teacher Copy Quarter 1, Weeks 6 7: 09/24/12 – 10/05/12 Learning Objectives The goal of this exemplar lesson is to provide students an opportunity to explore targeted passages of complex texts. Through teacher Read Alouds, audio listening, student independent reading and rereading, and scaffolded discussion of text-dependent questions, students will analyze the words and actions of the characters in “All Summer in a Day” by Ray Bradbury. Vocabulary is learned from context and writing fosters deeper understanding of text. The lesson culminates in an evidentiary writing activity. Teachers may need to further scaffold activities to address individual students’ needs depending on the intent of the lesson and specific learners’ needs. Rationale: This lesson explores character traits and how Bradbury creates characters with various personality traits and actions through the use of plot, conflict and setting. Students will conduct a close, analytic reading of this text to understand characters’ motivations, perspectives, and roles.
