Participation, Graphic Organizer, Performance of Skit
They heading to 12th grade and they are currently in 11th grade. I will set class and
individual goals for the students.
A quote from Tell Tale Heart
Skits, Graphic Organizers, Presentations, Analogies, Group Discussions, Foldable for
Vocabulary
Know and recalling the symbolism and themes of his work, and by making
connections back to his life
By doing exit slips daily and by doing reflections on their presentations
I could try to incorporate all the different learning styles. For visual, I would model in
the information. For social, I would have them work in groups on their Presentations.
For kinesthetic, it would be performing the skits.
I would use multiple strategies with the students so that they get a variety.
