Lesson Plan Template : The LandLady
General content:
Detective
1.-Foreshadowing
2.- Learning Objectives: What should students be able to do at the end of this lesson? Is there alignment with course objectives?
To look for clues in the story that suggest future events and the outcome of the story.
To understand the foreshadowing technique
To relate with peers and work in a group setting
3.- Instructional Procedures: How will I…?
…gain students’ attention
Discuss the outcome of The Landlady with the class
Tell students to pretend they are detectives investigating this situation
Divide the class into groups of about 4
…recall prior relevant information?
Begin class by asking students if they have ever run into someone accidentally as they rounded the corner of a building. Ask students what might have helped them avoid the collision. In other words, how could they have known someone was there before they actually saw them? (You might hear them talking, whistling, or walking loudly)
2. Ask students to think of a situation in which they might know someone is coming without hearing them first. Elicit from them that if it is sunny and the sun is in the right place, you might see the shadow before you actually see the person. This shadow would hint at the person's presence before the person actually arrived. You see a shadow before you see the person.
5. Ask students to brainstorm a list of movies or T.V. shows that use foreshadowing. Discuss how foreshadowing can build suspense and also make stories more believable by partially preparing us for the outcome. As audience members, we want the foreshadowing to be present but not obvious.
4.- Material Needed: The T-chart
…present new material?
Provide students with the literary definition of foreshadowing: The use of clues or hints to suggest events that will occur later in the plot. Tell them that the clues in the story could be looked at as the shadow of a later event just like the shadow on the sidewalk
