1. State Standard(s):
 RL.6.2 Determine a theme or central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through
particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from person opinions or
judgments
 RL.6.10 By the end of the year, read and comprehend literature, including stories,
dramas, and poems, in the grades 6-8 text complexity band proficiently with scaffolding
as needed at the high end of the range
 SL.6.5 Include multimedia components (e.g. graphics, images, music, sound) and visual

2. Teaching Model(s):
 Whole group instruction
 Individual work
 Partner work

3. Objective(s)
 SWBAT design a movie poster or trailer based on the book, The Watsons Go to
Birmingham (Blooms Level: Create)
 SWBAT illustrate a movie poster based on one theme of the book (Blooms Level:
Analysis)
 SWBAT plan their movie poster or trailer in a group using the book to “sell” the movie to
an audience of their peers (Blooms Level: Synthesis)

4. Materials and Technology Resources:


 Paper
 Coloring Utensils
 Writing Utensils
 iPads
 YouTube
5. Instructional Procedures (35 min.):

a. Motivation/Engagement (10 min.) (LEMOV STRATEGY: STRONG


VOICE, TECHNIQUE 56, throughout the motivation, let students know
what is expected of them verbally. Stopping whenever necessary and looking
at students that need to be reminded to pay attention.) TW hook the students
with no words aside from playing the new Avengers 4 trailer from YouTube.
Then TW ask students what they noticed from the trailer that they can infer based
on the trailer alone. TW then show an ET movie poster and SW make
assumptions based on the poster as well.

b. Developmental Activities or Learning Experiences (30 min. total per class


period; 3 days):

Movie Trailer or Movie Poster (25 min.)


 TW allow students to choose to create either a movie trailer or movie poster
based on the book, The Watsons Go to Birmingham
 SW work independently if they choose to create a poster, SW work with
(approved) partners for their movie trailer
 Movie posters need to properly represent the book
 Movie trailers need to be at least 60 seconds long
 Both projects can be done in any interpretation by the student
 TW supervise while students work over a 3-day period

Closure (5 min.):
 TW check the students’ progress at the end of every class period to
determine if more days are to be added or not

c. Extension:
 If students need more than 3 class periods to complete their project, a
work day will be allowed for students to catch up

6. Accommodations, Modifications and Differentiations for Diverse Learners:

 IEP students: Students with IEPs will be allowed to choose their projects,
and can use the book or any means necessary to assist them when
completing their project
 Behavioral students: TW emphasize before the project that students are
to be on their best behavior and display good behavior. In the event that a
student misbehaves, they may be told they will no longer be allowed to
participate in group activities
 Modifications: If students would like to use their iPads to draw the movie
poster, that will be allowed. Paper will also be available for the students to
use. If a student does not have a partner but would like to create a trailer, it
will only need to be 30 seconds long. This won’t be advertised to the
students though, only if it occurs
 Differentiations: TW allow students to write a 1-page script if neither the
poster or trailer appeal to them. It will need to have a setting, at least 2
characters, and thorough dialogue throughout the entire page
7. Assessment and Evaluation of Learning:
 Formative: This assignment is formative. It is being given to assess the
students’ understanding of the book thus far, as well as their inferencing
skills based on what they don’t know yet from the text.
 Summative: SW complete the book and continue taking quizzes on the
chapters throughout the remainder of the book.

8. Homework Assignment: None

9. Reflection:

a. Strengths-.
This project has been an absolute success. The students began to work right away and
have enjoyed getting to express their creative side. I like that I am getting to introduce a
project that no one in the class has shown dislike for. I also like seeing what the students
are coming up with. Some of them are doing celebrities cast as the characters in the book,
some students are animating the characters, and some are using images that they found
from searching on Google. I am really excited to see the finished project. We will
actually be hanging the finished posters in the hallway and I think they excited them that
much more.

b. Concerns-
The only concerns I had for this lesson was keeping the students engaged, but that hasn’t
been an issue. The final project hasn’t been turned in yet, so I am assuming, from what
I’ve seen so far, that this project is a success. I suppose another concern would be waiting
to see what the final product will look like, but to be honest, from their enthusiasm, I’m
not nervous to see what they’re doing.

c. Insights-
My insights from this lesson so far are to try and continue letting students be creative. My
mentor teacher keeps to a pretty strict iPad classroom, and as great as the iPads are, I can
see how that gets monotonous after a while. I have a few more projects in mind that
students can do to keep everything interesting and I am excited to do that.
