Learning Plan for Finding the Facts in Historical Fiction Unit

Where, Why & What

Goals: In addition to learning traditional literary skills, students will also independently work on finding fact in a historical fiction by utilizing various forms of resources including the internet and then compiling the information into a multimedia presentation. To understand essential questions in the unit: How can information on internet enhance a reading experience? Does history have an impact on literature? How can the truth be told through fiction? Why is historical fiction important? How accurate are facts used in historical fiction? What are some of the techniques authors of historical fiction use to make reading their stories feel authentic to the time period? What are some of the historical references made in, Bud, Not Buddy?

Expectations: To better understand these goals students will:

Read the historical fiction, Bud, Not Buddy. (Narrative Entry Point) Keep a double entry journal to reflect on ideas brought up in the readings. (Aesthetic Entry Point) Use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the historical settings in the novel and the students life. (Logical Entry Point) Create a Body Biography (character analysis) paired with an aspect of the Great Depression that is associated with the character in the novel. (Experiential Entry Point) Create a PowerPoint presentation connecting the historical fiction of Bud, Not Buddy to factual, historical information found on the internet. (Experiential Entry Point) Complete assignments that further illustrate how literary devices are used by an author to enhance a reading experience. (Foundational Entry Point) Accurately cite resources off the internet. (Logical Entry Point)

Access historical information. (Experiential Entry Point)

Relevance and Value: To appreciate literature and other creative expressions of information. Create products that capitalize on the various formats strengths. Demonstrates comprehension and shows evidence of a warranted and responsible explanation of a variety of literary and informational texts. Identifies and analyses sensory details and figurative language. Identifies the speaker and recognizes the differences between first and third narration. Relates a literary work to historical events of the period.

Prerequisite Skills: Students already do most of their daily work on personal lap tops and have adequate keyboarding skills, work with the program, Word, daily, and all have worked with PowerPoint in numerous other classes to present projects. Students have prior knowledge of literary devices (simile, metaphor, irony, imagery, etc.). The activities in this unit will be reinforcing that knowledge. Evaluate students knowledge of the Great Depression with a True or False questionnaire and KWL chart.

Hook & Hold As a result of the event of the Great Depression, over 250,000 children found themselves homeless. Many became nomads, traveling the highways and railways. While the character Bud, cant be labeled as a nomad, he is homeless early in the story and making his way across Michigan towards an uncertain future. Investigate the plight of children during the Great Depression and answer the following question in your journal. Do you think you could make it alone on your own? Why or why not? Include everything that you could carry that you would need to make it on your own.

Explore & Equip Provide the students with agendas (see calendar) that include the assignments they will be expected to complete by the end of the unit. List of websites that are relevant to the aspects of the Great Depression that are mentioned in Bud, Not

Buddy and even used as settings for investigation. Students are not limited to using only these websites for their assignments. Provide each student with a copy of Bud, Not Buddy Handout with MLA citation instructions for resources from the internet. Self-assessment rubrics for double journal entries and PowerPoint Presentation assignment. (see Stage 2) Have daily class discussions about readings. Have students do several homework assignments that focus on a particular aspect of the Great Depression mentioned in the story. Have students complete homework assignments and in class assignments that explain and clarify the use of various literary devices throughout the novel.

Rethinking, Reflections, & Revisions Students will write daily in their double entry journal. Specific topics or free writes in relation to the reading will be assigned. Students will be given a KWL chart two times during the unit to see what theyve learned as theyve progressed through the unit. Assignments, two quizzes and a final test will be given to monitor comprehension reading and grasp of various literary devices used in the novel. Continuous research will be conducted individually to enhance and build on the students knowledge of The Great Depression. Daily class discussion will be held to clarify any questions that might come up during the reading. Two final journal entries will be assigned asking the students to reflect on how reading Bud, Not Buddy helped them understand more about the impact of The Great Depression.

Encouraging Self-Evaluation Journal Entry Topics: Discuss your thoughts on the story Bud, Not Buddy. How did reading this book help you understand more about the Great Depression? Do you think that reading historical fiction can help you better understand historical events? Why or Why not? Double Journal Entry Rubric and PowerPoint Presentation Rubric will be provided to guide students and give them the ability check their progress as they go through their assignments.

Tailor to Students Needs Two different handouts with websites that will be used as part of their research for several projects in this

unit will be given to the students. One handout has websites with more in depth information. The second handout has websites, while the content is essentially the same as the more in depth websites the information is more pared down for the learners that arent as advanced and lower readers. Bud, Not Buddy will be read as a class, with the exception of three chapters that will be read as homework. I chose to do this not only to facilitate discussion, but as a way to engage the lower readers in class that have been known to become frustrated with reading novels this length. Ample classroom time has been set aside to complete the final PowerPoint presentation so the teacher can assist all students with any help they may need. Several homework assignments (Chapter 4 Worksheet and All That Jazz Activity) will be adjusted to accommodate advanced and lower learners.
