and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and audience. (Grade-specific

expectations for writing types are defined in Text Types and Purposes.)

strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or

trying a new approach, focusing on how well purpose and audience have

been addressed. (Editing for conventions should demonstrate command of

 the Language standards up to and including grade 8.)

ELA.8.25 Use technology, including the Internet, to produce and publish writing,

MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK

Describes how time is set to accommodate the lesson. Just give time and not details.

For example:

Overall Time - 60-minute lesson

Time Frame – 10 min. teacher intro and demonstration

40 min. student activity

10 min. regroup for assessment and closure

STRATEGIES]

Students will be graded on the descriptions of their senses, peer review/draft, and then

the final paper.

DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION/ ADAPTATIONS/ INTERVENTIONS

(Learning Styles, Students with Special Needs, Cultural Differences, ELL)

This is how you will accommodate students’ individual needs as these needs relate to

lesson objectives.

PROCEDURES

Description writing of the senses

Relating what they wrote to a life experience

Peer/edit/ write final paper

Introduction

In class go over the 5 senses/descriptive writing to the students in a 10 and have a ten

minute discussion.

Body & Transitions

 After discussion have the students get a pencil and paper and go outside.

 Walk the students outside.

 Separate the students and have them sit and write what they see, hear, feel,

smell, taste. Explain to them that noone will be grading these descritions. But

they will be graded as draft so anything is good.

 After 20 minutes bring students back inside the class.

 Have them look at what they wrote about what felt and have them relate it to a

past experience in their life. Give an example.

 Then have students write a story which is also a draft about the experience they

want to describe until the end of the class.

 The next class have them get into groups of two and peer read to create more

ideas, while they are working call out students individually and read their read

over each paper.

Closure
  After each paper is peered/teacher reviewed have them write their final paper

and turn it in next class.

ASSESSMENT

they will be graded on how they used their senses to contribute to the descriptions they

used in their writings.
