1 Lesson 2: Inferences in Stargirl Grade Level/Content Area: 8th Grade English Language Arts Date: 10/1/2014 Common Core Standards: R.S.L.1.: Cite the textual evidence that most strongly supports inferences drawn from the text. R.S.L.3.: Analyze how particular incidents in a story reveal aspects of a character. Student Learning Objectives: 1. Students will cite relevant pieces of textual evidence from Stargirl that support inferences made about Stargirl s feelings, personality, and/or character during incidents in the story when Stargirl and the narrator do not explicitly note her inner thoughts, motives, and emotions. 2. Students will analyze how key events from Stargirl give the reader insight into Stargirl s feelings, personality, and/or character. 3. Students will infer, using their knowledge of text, how Stargirl would react to a situation they experience. Language/Vocabulary Information: In order to be successful in this lesson, students will need to understand the language function and term inference, which they learned in Lesson 1 and will continue to have practice with in this lesson. Students will also need to understand the terms point of view and perspective as we try to understand Stargirl s unheard perspective. Sentence frames will again be available to help students correctly engage in academic discourse and frame their thinking. Instructional Plan Materials & Resources: electronic whiteboard powerpoint presentation anticipation guides extra sentence frame copies inference graphic organizers for each of the 4 major events being analyzed observation data collection sheet a walk in Stargirl s shoes assignment a walk in Stargirl s shoes guided outline Learning Activities: Orientation/Engagement/Motivation (5 minutes): As students enter the room they will be prompted by a slide projected on the electronic whiteboard, to complete the first column of the anticipation that will be handed to them as they walk into the classroom. This will help students pre-assess their current perceptions of Stargirl and evaluate how they have changed by the end of the lesson. Students will evaluate the following statements for the anticipation guide at the beginning and end of class and circle whether they agree or disagree with the statement:
2 Stargirl is weird. I relate to Stargirl. Stargirl has not been upset or bothered by anything that has happened to her in the book so far. Students will also be instructed by the slide to place their homework (inference practice homework from Lesson 1) in their period bin and copy down tonight s homework into their planners. I will verbally remind students to keep the anticipation guide on their desks so that they can complete the second column and question at the end of the period. Presentation/Explicit Instruction (5 minutes): I will review with student s what point of view the story is told from (first person point of view/leo s) and ask them to consider how at this point we have not heard much from Stargirl. The story is not told from her point of view, nor does Stargirl have any best friend relationships in the story, where we are able to hear her speak about her thoughts and feelings. That being said, we can infer, as we learned how to do yesterday, what Stargirl is thinking and feeling by putting ourselves in her shoes and looking at the book for hints and clues in the form of textual evidence. Some questions to prompt student thinking are: What point of view is the story told from? How do we know that? Who is the narrator? What is he like? How accurate do you think his portrayal of Stargirl is? Think about how difficult it is to understand the actions of others or to know what they are thinking. We can t read other people s minds. In the novel we are stuck in Leo s head, how does that affect our perspective? What types of information can Leo tell us about Stargirl? What things is he unable to share because he is not her? I will then introduce the next activity by telling students that in order to better understand Stargirl we will use our inference skills to infer what she is thinking and feeling during pivotal events in the story. I will ask students to review what an inference is prior to the beginning of this activity as well as model for them how to use the inference graphic organizer with a text through a think aloud and by displaying my example on the electronic whiteboard as follows: What Do I See? (Textual Evidence) Leo asks Stargirl to go on the Hot Seat and much to his surprise she says yes. Stargirl says she thinks Leo is What Do I Know? (Put myself in Stargirl s shoes) I know that teenagers, like Stargirl, generally say a boy is cute when they like them. I also know that when you like someone you often do things to My Inference (conclusions/deductions) Stargirl must have agreed to go on the Hot Seat because she has a crush on Leo.
3 cute. please them. I will explain to students that based on this scene, even though we never explicitly hear Stargirl tell anyone this is her reason for going on the Hot Seat and we cannot read her thoughts because of the novel s point of view, I can infer the reasons for her actions. Exploration/Expression/Guided Practice/Independent Practice/ Feedback/Application (15-20 minutes): Students will be placed in mixed ability groups and assigned one of the following major events that have happened to Stargirl so far in the novel: Stargirl on the Hot Seat (p.62-67) Stargirl is left behind at Red Rock High School (p ) Stargirl gets tomato-faced when cheering at a basketball game (p.70-72) Stargirl goes to Anna Grisdale s grandfather s funeral and Anna s mother attacks her (p.44-46) In order to help keep students on task and to keep the groups to 3 or 4 students, some classes may have multiple groups working on the same event. Each group will be asked to use the text as well as their own personal experiences/knowledge to infer what Stargirl was thinking and feeling during their assigned event. Students will record these feelings on their groups event specific inference graphic organizer. Groups should also think about what Stargirl s motivation for doing things such as attending the funeral or cheering for the other team might have been. I will tell students to try to put themselves in Stargirl s shoes. How would they feel if this happened to them? I will randomly choose a member of each group to recap their event for the class and summarize what was discussed and what they inferred about Stargirl. Students who do not have the inference sentence frames from the last lesson will be given an additional copy in order to aid them in this process. Closure (10 minutes): Students will fill out the second column in their anticipation guides and compare their new answers to their answers from the beginning of the lesson and jot down their answers to the final question on the anticipation guide, which asks students to explain how their perceptions of Stargirl have changed from the beginning of class. Students will then complete a think, pair, share with a partner of their choice and we will discuss how our perceptions of Stargirl have changed in a teacher-led, whole class discussion. Some questions I will ask during the discussion are: What did you think of Stargirl before this activity? What did you think of Stargirl after? Have your views changed? Why or why not? Homework Overview (5 minutes) To delve further into Stargirl s unheard perspective, students will be able to choose a Stargirl-esk task or a random act of kindness and then write a short paragraph about their experience.
4 Modifications/Accommodations: Copies of class notes for students with messy handwriting and who have the specific modification included in their 504s/IEPs. Sentence frames for students who have trouble engaging in academic discourse. Graphic organizers to break down the complex process of inferring into smaller steps and demystify the process. Guided outlines for the homework for students who struggle with organizing their thoughts in writing.
