Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Identify character traits for Jessie and Evan and support each with proof drawn from the chapter, following the worked example about Jessie skipping third grade
Distinguish literal from figurative meaning, starting with the mother's advice to "give Evan space" in Chapter 1
Work out an unfamiliar word from its sentence using the five SAIDE context-clue strategies and record five such words from the novel
Teaching tips
Each teacher plan names its differentiation up front - the graphic organizer for students who need to plan an answer, and an unscaffolded short response for those who do not - so the split can be decided before the lesson rather than during it
The context-clues page comes twice: the first copy carries worked examples built around the word eccentric, the second is blank for students' own five words. Show the first, then hand out the second
The APE frame appears at Chapter 13, well into the unit, so earlier written answers are a good baseline to compare against once it is introduced
Skills covered
Character analysis with textual proof - students name at least two traits each for Jessie and Evan and cite the page and detail that shows it, following a modelled example.
Literal versus figurative meaning - Chapter 1 asks whether "give Evan space" is meant literally, and later pages ask students to identify figurative language in the chapter.
Context-clue strategy - the SAIDE page teaches synonym, antonym, inference, definition and example clues with worked sentences, then asks students to classify five unknown words from the novel.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How is each chapter's teaching plan laid out?
Four fixed parts. An Aim naming the skill and the question behind it, a Procedure that models the skill and gives the differentiated route, the chapter's comprehension questions with a worked example where one is useful, and an Assess line describing what to look for in the responses.
What does the culminating project actually require students to make?
A performed or filmed scene. Groups of five or six pick a scene, note its page numbers, list every character in it, build the characters from clay, play doh, construction paper or household items, make a background from a shoe box, cardboard or poster board, then reenact it and record it on an iPad as a mini movie.
What does the SAIDE page teach?
Five ways to work out an unknown word from its sentence - Synonym, Antonym, Inference, Definition and Example. The first copy demonstrates all five around the word eccentric; the second is blank so students can log five words they were unsure of from the novel under the strategy that unlocked each one.
