Expectations
This lesson was the first lesson of our Romeo and Juliet unit. Students
completed an activity in which they agreed or disagreed with broad
generalizations that pertained to themes in Romeo and Juliet. At the end of
the lesson, students were expected to make predictions about Romeo and
Juliet in the form of a Ticket Out the Door. After students completed the
Anticipation Guide, they did a Ticket Out the Door in order to make
connections with the text and develop their predicting skills. The prompt for
the T.O.T.D. was: Based on the topics from the Anticipation Guide, which we
discussed in class, make two predictions about Romeo and Juliet.

Standards
2.1.f. By the end of grade 9, read and comprehend literature,
including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 910 text complexity
band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range.
(CCSS: RL.9-10.10)

4.2.a. Analyze the purpose, question at issue, information, points of

view, implications and consequences, inferences, assumptions and concepts
inherent in thinking.

Evidence of Proficiency
Students showed their proficiency through their response in the Ticket
Out the Door. I asked students to make a prediction based on the themes we
discussed in the activity we completed in class. I mentioned that students
should align their T.O.T.D. with the specific subjects from the Anticipation
Guide (family, true love, violence, etc.)

Data
In my analysis of the data, I decided that in order to meet the
objectives, students had to make two predictions based off of the specific
topics from the activity. In order to partially meet the objectives, students
had to make two predictions (not necessarily related to our activity). Those
who did not meet the objectives are students who made one prediction or no
predictions at all; he/she simply stated facts about the activity and/or play.

There were 23 students total in class that day. According to my data,

65% of students (15 students) met the lesson objectives. 26% of students in
the class (6 students) partially met the lesson objectives. Around 9% of
students (2 students) did not meet the lesson objectives.

Next Steps
If I were to teach this lesson again, I would give students more time to
complete the Ticket Out the Door. Although they offered some fairly
thoughtful predictions, I think they could have elaborated more and provided
more detailed answers if they had more time. I would also like to do a mini-
lesson on predicting and how to make effective predictions. This would give
students the scaffolding they need to make their own predictions.

Id also like to give more explicit instructions for the Ticket Out the
Door. In this lesson, I just asked students to make a prediction about the text
based on our discussion. What I would say if I taught this lesson again is,
Using only our discussion today, make two predictions about Romeo and
Juliet. I would tell them that although they probably have prior knowledge
about this story, I want them to use just the clues from the Anticipation
Guide.
