Big Idea(s)Use the fi rst week of class to get to know your students, establish expectations for the course, and begin practicing the critical-thinking and literary-analysis skills that students will need for academic success. Students will explore their perceptions of what it means to be an American.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will learn to read and analyze literature and poetry that refl ect the American experience. Special attention will be given to reinforce their understanding of literary and poetic terms. Students will explore and refl ect on their own uniquely American experiences. Using the writing process, students will write refl ective essays and/or refl ective poems that reveal their perceptions of America. Students will work collaboratively to respond critically and creatively to the reading selections. Students will review writing a Constructed Response, the use of the Scoring Guidelines for Constructed Response Items, the use of QNTs, journal writing, and how to create and maintain a writing portfolio. Students will begin to explore topics for novel-based research. By collaborating together, students are able to
understand more fully the vast array of ideas and perceptions that contribute to the American experience. Reading and writing about their own perceptions and those of their peers will infl uence their creativity, lifelong learning, and self direction.
By the end of this unit, students are able to analyze the use of catalogs in poetry and are able to read and recognize free verse as a poetic form. Students are able to write refl ective essays and critical analyses of poems. Students are able to showcase their originality and creativity in their refl ective essays and poems. By collaborating together, students are able to understand more fully the vast array of ideas and perceptions that contribute to the American experience.

ENGLISH 3UNIT 2: Getting to Know the PuritansBig Idea(s)Understanding America is not really possible without getting to know the Puritans fi rst. Th eir attitudes, habits of mind, and customs all continue to infl uence Americans, regardless of race or culture. Th ese people initially came in peace and lived in peace with the indigenous folk already on these shores. Nearly two generations passed before the peace was broken, and John Winthrop’s “city upon a hill” was no more.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will analyze the philosophical, political, and religious beliefs of the Puritans and their impact on American society. Th ey will analyze elements of drama, character motivation, archetypes, and symbols. In addition, they will examine Puritan plain style, inversion, the rhetoric of persuasion, and the use of fi gurative language. Small-group discussions will enrich students’ understanding of the course readings as they learn from and work with individuals representing various cultures and viewpoints. Students will write persuasive essays using a variety of persuasive techniques. Students will work in groups to collaborate and give feedback
as they edit each others’ work. Th ey will review subject and verb agreement. Students will learn to understand Latin and Greek roots, prefi xes and suffi xes, and use context clues to determine the meaning of words.
By the end of this unit, students are able torecognize and understand the social and ethical foundations of Puritanical thought and its infl uence in American history. Students are demonstrating eff ective work habits as they successfully complete group assignments and work productively to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Th ey are able to compose persuasive arguments using logical, ethical, and emotional appeals. Th ey are able to edit for subject and verb agreement. Students are able to determine the meanings of words through context and knowledge of Latin and Greek root words. After reviewing Benchmark results, students are able to demonstrate personal accountability as they design personal learning plans during student ownership sessions.

Big Idea(s)After the Puritans, the next important group of American writers is the Colonials. Th ey planned and executed their work in “meetings” like the Puritans and Quakers, and they were infl uenced by the writers of the Enlightenment.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will evaluate the philosophical, political, religious, ethical, and social infl uences of the Colonial period by analyzing authors’ purposes and beliefs. By examining authors’ use of text organization and content, students will evaluate theses, accuracy, thoroughness, logic, and reasoning. Using the writing process, students will write persuasive essays with a clearly stated position or opinion that includes the use of emotional and logical appeals. Students will continue to plan, refi ne, and shape their novel-based research. Th ey will select and use appropriate information technology to increase their knowledge and fulfi ll their learning needs. Th ey will continue to respond critically and creatively to the course readings working collaboratively with their peers in large-and small-group venues to negotiate meaning
in text. Students will learn to use coordinating conjunctions and to avoid sentence fragments and run-on sentences.
By the end of this unit, students are able todetermine and analyze author’s purpose, modes of persuasion, use of argument, and elements of style as refl ected in Colonial America.

Big Idea(s)American Romanticism emerged after the Colonials, as did American cynicism. Th ese voices pose a contrast to those of the Colonials. Th e cynics’ writings have had signifi cant infl uence on modern writers, and they have helped to shape the soul of America.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will learn to evaluate the philosophical, political, and social values refl ected in American Romanticism and Transcendentalism. Attitudes toward nature, free thinking, and social activism refl ected in the readings will impact students’ lifelong learning, self direction, ethics, and their understanding of individual social responsibility. Th ey will analyze theme, persuasive techniques, and the use of fi gurative language in fi ction and nonfi ction texts. In small-group analysis of text, students will learn from and work collaboratively with individuals who provide a variety of diff erent perspectives. Additionally, they will evaluate the use of sound devices in poetry. Th ey will learn to identify adjectival and adverbial clauses. Students will revise and edit their writing as an integral part of the writing process. Students will continue
working on the research process, selecting and using appropriate information technology.
By the end of this unit, students are able torecognize the style and voice of the Dissenters. Th ey are able to understand and recognize the persuasive techniques used by non-conformists to voice their philosophical, political, and social beliefs. Th ey are also more aware of their infl uence on American literature and society. Students are able to write in response to their reading using persuasive writing techniques. Students are continuing to demonstrate personal accountability as they manage their time in order to meet individual and group goals. After reviewing Benchmark results, students are able to demonstrate personal accountability as they design personal learning plans during student ownership sessions.

••••••••••
Big Idea(s)If we are to understand the country’s move from the plural “the United States are” to the singular “the United States is,” we must take a look at the beautiful writing produced during the tumultuous Civil War era. Whether we are reading slave narratives, letters home from the war, or biting satires after the war, the texts we encounter here are both heartbreaking and eye-opening.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will learn to critically examine literature that revolves around the Civil War. Th ey will analyze author’s purpose, political points of view, theme, use of symbolism, and poetic features. Th ey will also make cross-genre connections using primary source documents to enrich their understanding of this historical period. Students will work in teams to analyze and synthesize ideas across texts. In addition, students will write literary theme analysis essays, and begin to develop an introduction for a research report in preparation for novel-based research. Th e research tasks will give students experience selecting and using appropriate technology resources. Students will practice avoiding problems with subject and verb
agreement. After reviewing Benchmark data, students will demonstrate personal accountability and eff ective work habits as they design personal learning plans during student ownership sessions.
By the end of this unit, students are able to recognize and understand how literature refl ects the social, historical, and political attitudes that emerge and are expressed as a consequence of war. In their small-group interactions, students are able to work collaboratively to leverage the strengths of others to achieve common goals. Students are able to demonstrate personal accountability as they design personal learning plans during student ownership sessions. Th ey are able to set learning goals and understand how personal accountability and eff ective work habits develop a professional work ethic. Th ey are also able to write literary analysis essays. Students are preparing to write novel-based research reports. Students are better able to recognize subject and verb agreement errors.

••••••••••
Big Idea(s)Post-Civil War America looked very diff erent from the pre-Civil War version of the country. As the nation grew and changed, the romanticism of its early days gave way to the age of Realism. World War I was followed by a time of rapid change in our country, leading to literary creations that refl ected the changing face of America.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will learn the characteristic features of Realism. Th ey will analyze the philosophical, political, social, ethical, and religious ideas in the historical context of Post-Civil War America. Th ey will also examine the creative and artistic explosion of the Harlem Renaissance. Students will demonstrate the ability to eff ectively interact with diverse teams, negotiate, compromise, and work cooperatively for the good of the group as they continue to collaboratively construct meaning in response to the course readings. Th ey will learn to use transitional words and phrases to connect ideas. Students will review sentence style, avoiding misplaced and dangling modifi ers, and they will review Greek and Latin roots. In addition, they will write argumentative essays,
compare/contrast essays, and college application essays. Students will complete drafts of, edit, and revise novel-based research reports. Th ey will exercise time management and punctuality as they organize portfolios and prepare them for presentation.
By the end of this unit, students are able to distinguish between Romanticism and Realism. Th ey are able to analyze political and social infl uences of a historical period, compare writers’ attitudes and themes, and report historical research. Students are able to write for specifi c audiences and purposes. Students are able to work productively with others. Th rough their writing and group interaction, they are able to show their creativity and innovation. Success with these interpersonal skills demonstrates increased ability to communicate new ideas and to learn from others.

ENGLISH 3UNIT 7: Rejecting ConformityBig Idea(s)American society was altered again by World War II. Th e people prospered, but the use of the atomic bomb during the war, the Cold War of the 50s, and the start of the Civil Rights Movement gave cause to writers and poets to use their work to address the changing culture and societal structure.
During this unit, the goal of my teaching is that students will learn to analyze the eff ective use of literary elements in a novel. Special attention will be given to authors’ use of theme, symbolism, characterization, and point of view. Students will analyze and compare literary elements and devices across texts. Th ey will examine how World War II and the Civil Rights Movement helped to change the face of America. Students will learn from and work collaboratively with individuals representing diverse cultures, learning styles, and viewpoints as they negotiate meaning in text and explore the elements of literature. In small-group interaction, they will show their creativity in their verbal and written communication, and will work cooperatively to manage their time eff ectively. Students will learn to acknowledge the vast array of ideas and diversity that has infl uenced and
continues to shape American society. In addition, they will analyze the use of dialogue in fi ction and will write dialogue modeled on a literary work. Th ey will continue to hone their reading and writing skills using Constructed Response Items, and informational and persuasive writing prompts.
By the end of this unit, students are able to understand and recognize the nature of change and the voices of change throughout American literature. Th ey are able to analyze and compare texts across literary genres. Students are able to plan, draft, revise, and edit their writing. Students are able to leverage the strengths of team members and communicate new ideas to achieve common goals. Students continue to take personal responsibility for their learning and the roles they play in the eff ective functioning of the group. As students work collaboratively and share their responses to the course readings, diff erent viewpoints within the group enrich individual understanding of diversity and social responsibility.
