Unit Overview
Students will investigate these essential questions:
1. What does it mean to be male? What does it mean to be female?
2. How are gender stereotypes presented in literature?
3. How do we identify and analyze themes?
4. How do we write an argument to support our literary analysis?
Instructional Foci:
Students will learn to read a text closely, talk accountably, and be able to determine a theme and
back up their analysis with text evidence. They will learn the defined vocabulary, conventions and
sentence structured outlined in stage one of this plan. Students will be writing literary analysis
arguments comparing and contrasting texts. Students will begin to explore the relationships
between authors’ methods and the tone, theme, mood, setting and language of a text. Teachers
will continue to use independent reading and guided reading as a means to accelerate the reading
levels of students below grade level.
To ensure consistency across the school, our working definition of theme is.
“Themesare the big ideasin the text.These ideas are usuallyimportant to most people.Atext
may contain more than one theme,but there is usuallyone central, or main idea.
Themescan be general or specific.People donot always agree about the theme of a text .”
How is Theme Conveyed and Developed?

Texts:Students will read a number of complex texts using a short ACT process. Most of these
texts will be paired to enable students to engage in comparative analysis.
Complex Texts:
The Story of X, short story by Lois Gould
Knock Knock, poem by Daniel Beaty

grade levels
Students reading at levels N-Z, participating in book clubs reading a variety of fiction and
non-fiction texts, as well as select articles from NewsELA and Indy Kids Newspaper
*Note: Teacher may also select from a bank of CCLS aligned texts. Texts from the 6-8 complexity
band will be selected. Some lower band texts may be used in situations where UDL principles for
access are not workable
Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Access for students with disabilities and ELL
students.
Representation
Introduce complex ideas using highly accessible multimedia text (songs, animated
movie)
Visual scaffolds for unit language text structures displayed in all classrooms
Vocabulary recorded by students using Marzano Based template
Vocabulary displayed in classroom
Action/expression:
Teacher and student use of theme chart
Students identified with significant language processing issues will have access to
either predictive writing technology or text to speech software to support them in the
writing process
Provide Spanish translations for vocabulary words
Engagement:
Use of a common graphic organizer structure for organizing thinking
4. L7 U3 Literary Anaysis 4
Use of school-wide graphic organizers for essay structure
Repeated use of theme analysis chart by teachers and students
Engage students in regular self-reflection and use of writing tracker
Use of common rubrics

Ts will explain to students that we’re now starting
Unit 3. During the 3rd Unit, we’re going to continue

1. What does it mean to be male?
What does it mean to be female?
2. How are gender stereotypes presented in
literature?

4. How do we write an argument to support our
literary analysis?
Students willcount off by 8 (roughly groups of 3-
9. L7 U3 Literary Anaysis 9

Language
T will explain to Ss that we’velearned about
many different types of figurative language.
Now we’ll be listening to Katy Perry’s song,
Firework,where she uses all kinds of figurative
language to help convey her theme. Before we
think of her theme, we’ll look forexamples of
figurative language. T will quickly review key
with students.
-T willplay song and stop after the first stanza.
-Ask Ss to turn and talk at their tables, did they
find any examples of figurative language? Ss
will share and Ts willprovide feedback.
-T willkeep playing song and allow for stop
and jots as time permits.
-After the song, T will have the students work
independently to complete the theme chart. Ts
will monitor forCFU in circulating.
-Ts will lead short discussion/share if time
permits.
-Ts will extend fast finishers by having them
complete the extension question at the bottom

Mini-Lesson:Intro to
Knock,Knock
-Ts will explain that this week we’llbe
reading and studying about a poem called
“KnockKnock”
-Ts will remind Ss that we can figure out
theme/theme can be conveyedthrough 4
different ways.When weread “The Story of
X” we figured out the theme by looking
closely at the plot and character.
-When we read “KnockKnock,” we’ll be
using the twoother ways theme is conveyed
to figure it out--text structure and figurative
language.
-Today we’ll be focusedon figuring out
figurative language, and using it to help us
come up with a theme.
-This week will also end in us writing an
essay, but we’re going to workon this essay
as a whole class all week.It won’t count as a
test grade like normal--it will count for
classwork,but it will be worth a lot of points
so it’s important to stay on track, make sure
you’re in school every day,and following
along as we plan the essay.
-Ts will explain that students willhear the
poem twicetoday. The first time they hear
it, their job willbe to just listen to the poet
and watchas he reads because there is some
illustration that goes with the poem.
Guided&Group
Practice
T will explain that she is going to be reading
the poem again. This time, the students’ job
is to follow along in their texts and mark
examples of figurative language. Review
what figurative languagemeans!
Drabczykreads the
poem aloud, while
Cancila annotates on
doc cam.
51. L7 U3 Literary Anaysis 51
T will explain that before we decide on a
theme (and any of them could be right!), we
need to lookat our evidence. T willmodel
filling in the first evidence box.
Ss willhave 3 minutes at their tables to fill
in the second two evidence boxes.
T will model looking at evidence to select
theme, e.g. My evidence is _________________,
and that makes me think that the theme is
about ______________________________.
T will model for one piece of analysis. Twill
explain that often, writing in English is just
people making a convincingargument. Even
if youneed to make-up yourideas a little, as
long as they make sense--they count.
Group practice: students will work
independently or at their tables to complete
the analysis portion of their organizers. Ts
will circulateto support and help extend
thinking.
