The
reason for teaching this lesson is to make sure students understand the
vocabulary and order in representation of plot and using it in a plot diagram.
This lesson matches requirements for sixth grade language arts under Arizona’s
College and Career Ready Standards.

III.
Implementation
a.
Procedure:
·
The
teacher will introduce the objective of the lesson and review what plot is.
·
Then
the vocabulary for the lesson will be posted on Google Slides on the Smart
Board and the teacher will have a discussion with the students to talk about
what each one of the vocabulary terms is.
·
The
teacher will then move on to the next slide and ask the students at random to
place the vocabulary terms where they belong on the plot diagram.
·
The
teacher will post an already filled out plot diagram on the board and have it available
on the board for the students to reference to as they complete their
assignment.
·
The
teacher will introduce the assignment to the students and explain what is to be
done on Pixie
·
The students
will be able to use their creativity to create the structure of the plot
diagram how they wish and fill in the information of each vocabulary term based
on their choice of book or story.
·
The
students will be required to include a title and insert their responses for
each vocabulary term in text boxes.
·
The students
will then answer the reflection questions and include them on their page on
Pixie wherever they would like.
·
The students
will then get to do a gallery walk and review their peers work and learn a
little bit about the other books or stories.
b.
Technology
Integration
·
The
teacher will use Google slides to present the new vocabulary words to the
students. The teacher will have preset slides with the words and fill in the
definitions as she/he collects ideas for what the word could mean from the students.
·
The
teacher will also use Google slides to show the students the format and usage
of a plot diagram.
·
The
students will use Pixie to create their own plot diagram. They will do this by
using their own creativity to decide how to make and design their plot diagram.
c.
Differentiated
Integration
·
Cognitive
Delay: For students with cognitive delays there will be provided a key guard to
prevent the hitting of unwanted keys. They will also be given the opportunity
to work on the reflection questions about their plot diagrams with a peer that
can assist if needed (working in pairs will benefit the class as a whole)
·
Gifted:
Students who are gifted will be challenged by being asked to include 3 major
themes that occur throughout their book/story. They will be encouraged to
choose a full-length chapter book to create their plot diagram off of.
·
ELL:
Students who are English Language Learners will be given support by being given
extra notes on the book/story they choose to create their plot diagram on to
help them guide their thoughts into their work.
