Instructional Ideas

  • Ask a class member to prepare a masterful reading of the section of the short story under study 

Classroom Considerations

  • The 10th in a 13-lesson unit that uses Ethan Canin’s short story “The Palace Thief” as an anchor text
  • Some readers may need additional support to keep up with their Accountable Independent Reading (AIR) assignment

Pros

  • The 17-page packet includes a list of the Common Core standards addressed by the lesson, the plan, discussion questions with sample responses, a vocabulary list, and a homework assignment

Cons

  • All the lessons in the unit follow the same procedures

Common Core

RL.9-10.3 W.9-10.9.a SL.9-10.1.a SL.9-10.1.c
