Lesson Title: Character Creations (Demonstrating Knowledge)
Length of time needed: 1 1/2 hrs.
CCSS ELA Standards Addressed: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.3.3 Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.3.4 Report on a topic or text, tell a story, or recount an experience with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking clearly at an understandable pace.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.SL.3.6 Speak in complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation in order to provide requested detail or clarification.
Objectives: I can:
Describe characters in a story (e.g., their traits, motivations, or feelings) and explain how their actions contribute to the sequence of events.
Report on a text with appropriate facts and relevant, descriptive details, speaking clearly at an understandable pace.
Speak in complete sentences when appropriate to task and situation in order to provide requested detail or clarification.
Materials needed: Small sheets of Poster Board (for each student) Markers Glue Colorful paper shapes Magazine photo clippings Mason Jar Popsicle sticks with students’ names on them
Hook: Who is excited about their character creation?
Teacher Input/Modeling: Students will be given poster board, markers, crayons, glue, paper shapes, magazine photo clippings, etc. They will use any of those materials to design their poster board so that it represents the character traits of the main character. I will guide them as they create their posters. (They will have 30 minutes to do this.)
After posters are complete, students have 20 minutes to gather their notes, materials, etc. for their oral report.
Students will be selected at random (by pulling a popsicle stick out of the jar) to share their report with the class.
Independent Practice: Students share their reports one by one.
Closure: Today you demonstrated your knowledge of character traits and their effects on the events of the story, by giving your oral report and presenting your character creations.
