This lesson plan is for teaching a chapter from the novel "A Tale of Two Cities". The main aims are for students to write the main ideas of the chapter and connect events related to different characters. The teacher will help students highlight important parts and fill in a table showing characters and related events. Students will then answer questions in their copybooks to demonstrate their understanding of key events and passages. The lesson involves refreshing students' background knowledge, group work analyzing the chapter, and individual writing to summarize the chapter's key information.
