Dr. Miller T.E. 432/5432 How Persuasion Leads to/Effects Oppression: Night Name of course: Communication Arts 2 Number of students: 25 Your name: Room number: 202 Date of learning: December 2nd 2013 School name: Ruskin High School Grade level and ability group: Sophomore English CMT name: Kelly Pittard Meeting time: 9:14-10:01 Time period: 3rd Unit Rationale: This unit, built upon the PAR (Preparation, Assistance, Reflection) framework, will begin the preparation phase through a “cultural identity bag.” This activity will allow students for exploring their self-identity/culture, setting them up for understanding of themselves within society and gaining insight into their ancestors’ roles in society, as well as giving the chance to acknowledge and celebrate our difference, but also recognize how those differences have been exploited to develop oppression. This activity will not only allow me to get to know the students better, but for the students to know each other better as well. This unit will also incorporate the constructivist theory, as students will construct knowledge for themselves as they work through the text of “Night,” writing their thoughts, questions, feelings, etc. in their student journals. They will also be constructing knowledge for themselves through literary worksheets to identify different literary devices in each chapter, allowing for multiple examples to be reinforces throughout the duration of the text. Collaborative learning will also be frequently taking place throughout this unit with daily classroom discussions. With these discussions, student will be able to hear other students’ thoughts and opinions, and may be exposed to a perspective they would not have considered otherwise. The learning styles of kinesthetic, auditory, and visual will frequently be addressed through different letters, articles, journals, photos, videos, and guest speakers that relate to the themes in the text. Culturally responsive teaching will also be taking place, as students have the ability to express and affirm their own viewpoints and experiences with the cultural identity bag, as well as with what they can relate from the story. Through engaging in active dialogue and writing, students will develop a deeper understanding of writing a persuasive essay and how to correlate and incorporate it into their future writing and reading. This will strengthen them academically in their writing and vocabulary, as well as socially in being able to effectively communicate in more thorough dialogue. They will gain experience in analyzing their word choices by creating persuasive essays, developing the critical thinking skills needed to interact in a higher education setting and professionally in society.
