The Collector

Lesson plan by Jamie Fein

Day 6

 

 

 

What’s on for today:

 

Students will explore the differences between Ferdinand’s language in the journal and Miranda’s language in the journal. Students will work in groups to create a dialog to each other through the use of the different journals.

 

 

What to do:

 

1. Students will learn that not only does Ferdinand have a journal, Miranda does as well.
2. Students will be broken into 4 groups

                        group 1: pgs 40-45

                        group 2: pgs  45-50

                        group 3: pgs 123-126

                        group 4: pgs  126-130

3. Each group will write a soliloquy of what is going on in the proper narrator’s point of view
4. Each group will pick a representative and read the dialog to the other groups
5. The groups will respond to each other as a dialog.  Group 1 will read, then group 3 will respond to group 1.  Group 2 will read and Group 4 will respond to them.
6. As a class compare what each narrator chose to leave out, what they elaborated on, and discuss why.

 

 

Homework:

 

Read pg 80-95.  Write a journal entry about who is a more believable character and why.

 

 

The class was a success if: 

 

-The students were able to communicate through dialog to each other to explore the different points of view and see what the other people are feeling
