Activity 10: 25 minutesComprehension Quiz– Basic Comprehension (Recall Facts)This quiz checks for basic comprehension and recall of thestory. There are no higher order thinking questions on thisquiz, no inferring, no analyzing, no drawing conclusions, etc.so I do not recommend that students use a copy of the storyfor this quiz unless they need that as a testingaccommodation. Key included (not shown)2. Activity 11: 35 minutesVocabulary Guide: Analyze Word Choice. Students read anexcerpt from the story and must think critically about oneword in particular before formulating a constructed response.These are written to prepare students for the same types ofconstructed response questions they may encounter aboutvocabulary on a state or standardized test.Also included: paper-saver version.Activity 10Activity 11paper-saverversionDay 511. Activity 12: 35 minutesPlot Diagram Activity – Here comes another one of thosethat doesn’t quite FIT the mold so get ready. Well, it prettymuch does, EXCEPT it isn’t easy to pinpoint the climax inthis one since the ending is so vague. It actually depends onthe interpretation of the reader as to what the climax is.Does Billy realize his eventual fate BEFORE the finalcliffhanger? If so, that moment is the climax. BUT if he does,when exactly does he realize this? There’s so many options.SO there’s so many “correct” answers for the climax as longas it makes sense with this theory. And if the cliffhanger ISthe climax, then the falling action and resolution areimplied events as shown in the answer key. Have fun withthis one J2. Activity 13: 20 minutesMood – students read excerpts and analyze mood.3.

Activity 16: 50 minutesFull radio play and analysis – This is a big one forRL.7.7, so don’t skip it! Play it all the way throughwhile students complete the left side in note-takingformat. Then, give them 20-ish minutes tocomplete the right side questions, mostly. Finally,let them listen one more time in case they needspecific details from the audio for certain questionsand allow them a few extra minutes to finish up.This is a good one to take as an assessment,especially if you’ve been doing similar audioactivities on your own or the many within theprevious 7th grade units.

Activity 17: 90 minutesDeep Analysis of Short Film AdaptationToday will probably run into tomorrow, but therewill be a cushion in tomorrow’s time so that’ll beActivity 17totally fine.**PREVIEW before showing to students, esp.the last five minutes of this one.These questions ask students to go deeply into thedecision-making of the filmmakers, so before watching I’d lead adiscussion with students on how movies have to SHOW things,often through dialogue, that stories can simply explain in text.For procedure, I recommend watching one time through, then giving questions, andfinally letting students watch one last time to finish up details in questions, similar toprotocol before.

VocabularyShort Story of the Month"The Landlady" by Roald Dahl3.Focus: Analyze Word ChoiceHe had stayed a couple of nights in a pub once before and he had liked it. He had never stayed in anyboardinghouses, and, to be perfectly honest, he was a tiny bit frightened of them. The name itselfconjured up images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers in theliving room.Read this definition of conjure:verb - (1) to make something appear or seem to appear by using magic; (2) to make you thinkof something(A) Which of these definitions is used in the excerpt above? Explain.(B) Think about the connotation (feeling) of the word conjure in addition to the denotation(definition). Why do you think the author chose conjure instead of another synonym likecreated or brought to mind in its place? Hint: Consider definition 1 in your answer.4.And now a queer thing happened to him. He was in the act of stepping back and turning away from thewindow when all at once his eye was caught and held in the most peculiar manner by the small noticethat was there. BED AND BREAKFAST, it said. BED AND BREAKFAST, BED ANDBREAKFAST, BED AND BREAKFAST. Each word was like a large black eye staring at him throughthe glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away fromthat house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the frontdoor of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell.A talented author can foreshadow future events simply by choosing precise vocabulary. Findfour words in the excerpt above that foreshadow that something is not quite right. Explaineach of your answers.Activity 11 2018 erin cobbimlovinlit.com
