In a snapshot narrative paragraph, describe the context of the instructional group. Describe major areas such as cultural, family structures, ELL levels. SES, etc.? What are the most important details that may inform your instruction and support your learners?

Lesson Objective/s: The objective of the lesson is for students to understand how to effectively integrate quotes into their writing. This means setting up the quote, picking a quote that will effectively enhance their argument, and providing a proper analysis. State Standard/s:
CC.11-12.W.1.c Text Types and Purposes: Use words, phrases, and clauses as well as varied syntax to link the major sections of the text, create cohesion, and clarify the relationships between claim(s) and reasons, between reasons and evidence, and between claim(s) and counterclaims. CC.11-12.W.2.b Text Types and Purposes: Develop the topic thoroughly by selecting the most significant and relevant facts, extended definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audiences knowledge of the topic.

ELD Standard/s Formative Assessment/s: Check for Understanding, discussion along with powerpoint
about what makes certain quotes work and what makes a quote ineffective. This includes examples we provide as well as discussion from quotes presented in a Stephen Colbert clip we showed the class. Summative Assessment/s: Students will receive a sheet listing 10 quotes, they need to choose one or two of the quotes provided and provide an introduction and effective analysis for the quotes they chose. This will be turned in at the end of the period.

The instructional group is a 50/50 split of white females and males. There doesnt appear to be any major cultural or socioeconomic differences, all students appear to come from similar backgrounds. It is a Junior English class, all students appear to know how to read and write with no major issues in that respect, with no IEPs or 504s indicating learning disabilities. The school is set in a small farming community and follows the pattern of the class, being almost entirely white and of the same socioeconomic background. That being said, as instructors, we are both female and from the suburbs of Chicago, and so come from a slightly different socioeconomic background than most (if not all) of the class.

IEP Goals Directions: List students goals as they apply to this lesson. Large Group/Whole Class Instruction Select 2-4 students for instructional focus. Small Group / Individualized Instruction (< 5 students)

LESSON PLAN & PROCEDURES

Lesson Elements
Lesson Introduction (connect & build background knowledge) Identify Formative Assessment as it occurs in the lesson Time What are the students doing? Students are listening. What is other adult doing?
Other adult is at the computer, pulling up the Colbert clip and setting up the powerpoint as needed (both adults switch on and off leading discussion/manning the technology).

5 min 1. Introduce lesson by explaining that today, were going to work on integrating quotes fluidly into papers. To start, were going to watch someone who happens to be an expert at fluidly integrating quotes into his work. (Leave out that it is a Colbert clip until we put it up on the projector.) Ask students to be on the look-out for what he does before the quote, and what he does right after the quote during the clip. Advise them to take notes 2. Turn off lights, show 1 minute clip from 1:50: http://vimeo.com/46314038.3. Turn lights back on, go over quickly that this is from one of Colberts sponsortunities, in which he takes the task of giving a message from his sponsors to a satirical extreme. a. Ask students what Colbert did before the quote he uses from the memo (introduces what the memo is for context, gives a lead-in sentence). b. Ask students what Colbert does after the quote [takes a concrete part of the quote (Wheat Thenis go great with anything) and demonstrates, furthering his point of why Wheat Thins are awesome].

During clip, students are actively observing for examples of integrating quotes, taking notes if they need to.

Check for Understanding Observe students responses to what they observe him doing before and after quotes use this as formative assessment on prior knowledge

LEVELS OF STUDENT OUTCOMES Remember the model of instruction, the instructional setting and the students needs, goals and objectives. All students will be able to look at the different All strategies and receive the information needed to integrate quotes. In addition, all students will get the chance to practice integrating quotes and receive personal instruction. Some students will be able to answer questions about the Some video clip we have shown in class, some will understand the material right away and some will need extra help. These students that require extra help will receive more one-on-one attention by a teacher during individual work time. A few students will struggle to integrate quotes and Few access the material, and will only focus on the lead-in sentence. A few other students will have already mastered the skill, and will be pushed to improve their samples in other ways.
