Module 1, Unit 3, Lesson 1 Learning Targets I can explain how the author of A Long Walk to Water compares and contrasts Nya and Salva to convey ideas about how people survive in Sudan. We are reviewing these ideas to prepare for our assessment tomorrow, which will ask you to compare and contrast Nya and Salva.

RememberingJuxtaposition Remember that to juxtapose means to put two things next to each other, in order to compare and contrast them. Compare usually means finding similarities between two things. Contrast usually means finding differences between things.

Remembering Juxtaposition (from Lesson 4) What two images are juxtaposed here? What is the same about the images? What is different? Why did the artist want you to compare these two images?

Juxtaposition in A Long Walk to Water Today we will practice evaluating how Linda Sue Park juxtaposed Nya and Salva in the book A Long Walk to Water. Turn to your neighbor and take one minute to answer the following question: What are two ways in which Nya and Salva are juxtaposed?

Further Partner Discussion Turn to your seat partner AGAIN and specifically discuss how Nya and Salva’s experiences are THE SAME Make some notes in your readers notebook about how they are the same

Further Partner Discussion Now turn to your seat partner AGAIN and discuss how Nya and Salva’s experiences are DIFFERENT Make some notes in your readers notebook about how they are different

Juxtaposition Review Go to the “Reviewing Juxtaposition” worksheet pages and complete them SILENTLY…

Juxtaposition Practice Discussion What two roles that Salva has in the book does the author juxtapose? How does this help you compare Salva as a teenager and adult? What does this comparison say about his ability to survive? How does adding Nya to the story help show us traits of survival? How does juxtaposition help you compare the characters Nya and Salva?

Learning Target Review I can explain how the author of A Long Walk to Water compares and contrasts Nya and Salva to convey ideas about how people survive in Sudan. Turn to your neighbor and tell them to share how confident they fell about being able to compare and contrast Nya and Salva.

Module 1, Unit 3, Lesson Two MID- UNIT ASSESSMENT . . . You will receive all of your notes back to use for this assessment. Be sure to circle all of the items for which you need factual evidence from your book to support your answers. List all the materials you will use for this assessment, and get them out. Work SILENTLY on your assessment. When you are done, you will begin to prepare a “Two Voice Poem.”

Unit 3, Lesson 3 Learning Targets I can cite text-based evidence to support the juxtaposition of Salva and Nya in my two voice poem. I can analyze a model two-voice poem using a rubric. I can plan my two voiced poem.

Grading Scale for Two Voice Poem 4 3 2 1 The main idea of the poem and the comparison of Nya and Salva are developed with well-chosen and concrete evidence and quotes from the texts The main idea of the poem and the comparison of Nya and Salva are developed with relevant evidence and quotes from the text Some evidence and quotes from the texts help compare Salva and Nya and partially develop the main idea of the poem. There is an attempt to use evidence and quotes from the texts, but they are generally invalid and irrelevant to the scope of the peom. There are not quotes or evidence from the texts or they are completely irrelevant to the scope of the poem.

Goal for Our Poem The main idea of the poem and the comparison of Nya and Salva are developed with relevant evidence and quotes from the text. What does the word developed mean in our scale? What does the word relevant mean in our scale? What is the difference between relevant evidence and quotes? Which text are we using to find our evidence and quotes? How do we find the evidence or quotes?

Analyzing the Model Poem and Planner Read the “Sample Two Voice Poem” of your student packet to yourself. Now compare it to the “Two Voice Poem Planner: Model Poem ‘I Would Do Anything’” Do you see the similarities between the two paged? Third, look at the Two Voice Poem Planner Side A What are the squares with the “x” marked across them?

Write Your Own Model Poem Using the Two Voice Poem Planner Side A, select and insert the following into your planner Two things Salva says or does Two things Nya says or does Two things they both say or do Be sure to review your Checklist before submitting your written poem

Exit Ticket – Reflection The final page of this week’s packet has a reflection page in it. Please complete it by identifying: 1) what skills you think you mastered in the work you did on A Long Walk to Water; 2) what you still need to work on…
