2. AAP texts are listed by text title: always start with the CSO. So many CSOs are listed for each anthology alignment lesson, so… No need to rush (depth, rigor, fun!) Some CSOs will take primary focus Adjust scaffolding, rigor and task to differentiate

3. First, I needed to target a student weakness according to formative data – “citing text evidence to support inferences.” Based on the curriculum map, we still had yet to go in depth to “determine the meaning of words and phrases and the impact of word choices on meaning and tone” in a literary text.

4. Fuzzy Side: your prediction based on context Scratchy Side: Find a dictionary definition that makes sense Used in a previous unit to incorporate academic and technical vocabulary in scientific texts…

5. Welcome to the 7 th grade!

6. W E WILL cite text evidence to support our responses and inferences, determine the meaning of words and phrases and the impact of word choices on meaning and tone, demonstrate command of capitalization, punctuation, and spelling.

7. Read the poem independently. Follow along as the teacher reads the first stanza. With your team, take turns orally reading the remaining stanzas.

8. REWRITE STANZA ONE IN YOUR OWN WORDS… For the next set of questions, we will jigsaw; use text evidence for each question you investigate!

9. Describe the scene in the first stanza… What is the tone or feeling of the scene? Explain what is happening in stanza 2…

10. Describe the scene in the first stanza… What is the tone or feeling of the scene? Explain what is happening in stanza 2… In stanza 3, who is “he” and what is he doing? Write a description of the jabberwock. You can even draw a picture! List 2 parts of the text that helped you describe the jabberwock…

11. Explain what happens in stanza 4… In stanza 6, who “chortled his joy”? Reread stanza 6: what mood does the author convey?

12. Why do you think the first and last stanza are the same? Compare your answer to others and discuss. Chart out some of the possibilities together on your paper.

13. W RITING ASSIGNMENT Use the chart to trace the events of the poem and list the text evidence that you feel proves what is going on. Then, write 1-2 paragraphs carefully summarizing what is happening in the poem using your text evidence from the chart to prove your conclusions. Finally, write 1-2 paragraphs about the following: What personal “Jabberwocky” have you had to overcome in your life? Tell the story using an epic tone, just like in the poem!
