Lesson-Plan-reading Huck Finn Aug 19

This lesson plan involves students reading excerpts from Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and making predictions about the plot, setting, and characters based on clues. Students will work individually and in groups to answer questions about what they've read, write summaries of the events, and provide feedback on each other's work. The objectives are for students to display their comprehension of the text and ability to infer details not explicitly stated through guided and independent practice analyzing chapters from the novel.

Huckleberry Finn, Chapter
titled Exploring the Island
Excerpts from the chapter

Lesson Objectives

Students will show their understanding of


the text by answering closed and open
questions
Students will be able to guess the setting,
plot development, and characterization by
making predictions based on cues in the
story

Warm-up and Objective Discussion


Warm-up (5minutes)
Ask students
Have you ever camped alone or with others?
What was the occasion?
Where did you go?
What things did you need?
Did you experience any problems?
Did you enjoy it? Why?
How old do you need to be to camp alone?
Objective Discussion: (5 minutes)
Explain that the class will read a small chapter from a famous novel. The chapter
will be about a boy who goes camping, away from home. Students will be able to
make predictions about the development of the plot, using cues in the text, and
the lesson will try to solve the mysteries of who the boy is, why he is away
camping, where he is, and what the date of the episode may be. Explain that in
works of literature, the writer does not always answer all these questions, but
gives enough information to understand the answers. With enough practice,
students may build up this skill and use it in all their reading.
Instruct and Model

( 15 minutes)
Read the first excerpt (Huck Finn 1)
https://tr.scribd.com/document/321242234/Huck-Finn-1 aloud, projecting the
text on the screen. Then ask:
Where is the protagonist, how do you know?
What else can we know about him?
Get answers from students, and write them on board. Ask if the others agree.
Read the second excerpt (Huck Finn 2)
https://tr.scribd.com/document/321242235/Huck-Finn-2 aloud, projecting the
text on the screen.
Then ask:
Where is the protagonist?
Who is he?
What is he doing?
What is happening?
How old is he?
Get answers from students, write them on board. See whether previous answers
are validated or negated.
Have a discussion about possible answers, what can be inferred from the text,
and give your ideas on answers and your reasons.
Guided Practice

(10 minutes)
Ask students to form triads and project the third excerpt, Huck Finn 3
https://tr.scribd.com/document/321242236/Huck-Finn-3 on the screen. Have
them go through the same questions and see what additional predictions they can
make.
Have each group write a short paragraph summarizing the events of the previous
days.
Requirements:
3-5 sentences
Use minimum 2 new words from the story
First, give 2 sample sentences, like
Huck told his friends that he was going swimming alone. When he didnt come
back in the afternoon, they went looking for him..
Independent Practice

Project the fourth excerpt, Huck Finn 4
https://tr.scribd.com/document/321242238/Huck-Finn-4 on the screen. Ask
students to go over the text and see what else they can learn from the text.
Have them write down their predictions, discuss their ideas in their triads.
Then, ask students to write a revised summary of the previous day, individually.
Requirements:
5-8 sentences
Use at least 5 new words from the story
Students may invent new characters
Assessment

( 10 minutes)
Each student will read and give feedback to another students summary, chosen
randomly. Use these guidelines in giving feedback:

Is the content logical? Does it make sense? If not, point out problems
Are new words used properly? If not, point out mistakes
Are grammar structures appropriate? Point out mistakes
Do not correct, and do not rewrite

Give an example feedback, commenting on a discrepancy between what is learned


from the plot and what one imaginary student may have written.
The teacher will move along students, giving them support as they plan and write
their feedback.
