MY CART
I use this lesson with my 11th grade American lit/intensive reading class; however, it would work just as well in any reading or literature class. On the first day, each student works with a single stanza of the poem and then on the second day, we present and discuss the poem as a whole.
Each of the eighteen stanzas is printed on a single page. Students define unfamiliar words and phrases, complete text reformulations, analyze their stanzas, and build fluency with repeated readings.
The students enjoy seeing how their "piece of the puzzle" fits into the larger poem and each student was intimately involved in the process, rather than a passive receiver of a summary of the poem.
The lesson plan comes with more detailed instructions and classroom procedures (see the preview below).
Thanks for checking out my lesson; both my students and I really enjoyed this one. I hope you will, too. If you do decide to buy, please leave feedback and let me know what you thought about the lesson. I'm always looking for ways to improve and would like to know how the lesson worked for you.
Sincerely,
Julie Conlon

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Over the last 19 years, I have taught 7th grade through junior college English and reading and I am currently working as the literacy coach in a high school. The lesson plans that I share here could come from any of those grade levels and cover a variety of subject areas. With the push toward the Common Core, I have been focusing on helping the teachers at my school incorporate more reading, writing, and higher-order thinking into their lesson plans. I am reworking my TpT profile/lessons to align with this goal also. Thus, the creation of HOT Shot: Soar into the Common Core with Higher Order Thinking. However, despite the catchy-logo/title, I am now (and always will be) a teacher first! I assure you that the lessons you're purchasing on this site are lessons I have used successfully with students. I hope that your students will get as much out of the lessons as mine do.
