  3. The Fighting GroundbyAvi One day can change everything!

  4. Background Information for Review

  5. Reading Literature balanced with related Informational Text

  6. Plus Primary Source Selections • “Emerson Describes the Stand at Concord Bridge” Describes the battle from an American colonist’s viewpoint. (a famous author) • “British Account of the Battle at Concord Bridge” Describes the battle from a British soldier’s viewpoint.

  7. Guided Highlighted Reading • Prompts • Multiple-Choice • Summary From Guided Highlighted Reading: A Close-Reading Strategy for Navigating Complex Text, Weber, Nelson, and Schofield, 2011, Maupin House.

  8. Guided Highlighted Reading: • is text-driven and meaning-based • focuses students on the content of text • guides students to read for one reading purpose at a time • invites and guides students to revisit the text more than once • guides students to return to the same text for multiple purposes • targets the acquisition of skills needed for close and critical reading • builds fluency and stamina in readers • uses multiple senses: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic From Guided Highlighted Reading: A Close-Reading Strategy for Navigating Complex Text, Weber, Nelson, and Schofield, 2011, Maupin House.

  9. Explanatory Prompt Based on the excerpt from The Fighting Ground, predict what will happen next in the novel. Explain what will happen if Jonathan decides to go off to war. Give evidence and details from the two accounts of the Battle of Concord Bridge to support your explanation of what going to war might be like for Jonathan.

  10. Scaffolding Think about the following as you plan, write, and revise: • Begin by explaining why Jonathan decides to go off to war using information from the excerpt from The Fighting Ground. • Explain what will probably happen next using evidence from the two accounts of the Battle of Concord Bridge. • Conclude by predicting what will happen to Jonathan and why you think it will happen.

  11. Scaffolding: Graphic Organizer

  12. Sharing with Data Walls • Groups of four • Data Walls for supporting examples • Students individually make a list. • Group list on Post-it notes • Students place their Post-it notes. • Teacher shares

  13. Preparing for Reading • Vocabulary before, during, or after • Focus for Reading/Listening • “Walk Through” Book Features • Genre Defined

  14. Vocabulary In this instance, read the excerpt aloud to students while they follow along on their numbered copies. (See Appendix 1f.) Then read the prompts and have students highlight as directed. Because this is primary source material, you will need to explain the following vocabulary: celerity (“speed”), prudent (“careful”), fickleness (“indecisiveness”), and quitted (“left”).

  15. Focus for Reading/Listening Focus for Listening: What does Jonathan decide to do? (He decides to go with the Corporal. How does he get the tavern owner to lend him a gun? (He misquotes his father.) How does the length of the gun compare to Jonathan’s height? (The gun is longer that he is tall.) What do the other men seem to be concerned about? (More men are needed.)

  16. Scaffolding forGuided Reading and Discussion Guided Reading (If students are having problems, do Shared Reading or Read Aloud. Point out some or all of the problems and questions Jonathan and the men have: • Pp.19-20: The gun, cartridge box, and powder horn are making it difficult for Jonathan to travel. • Pp. 20-22: The men have questions about the number of enemy soldiers they will be fighting and how they will fight. They seem to prefer ambush. (p. 22) • Pp. 22-24: Jonathan’s father’s friend does not seem to have answers. Jonathan decides to lie to him about his father’s permission. • Pp. 24-27: The weather is hotter, the men are tired, and the men are still questioning the Corporal—now about where the other soldiers are. One man challenges the Corporal for being “…overfond of killing.” (p. 27) • Pp. 28-31: Jonathan wonders when they will get to the fighting ground. The men encounter a woman who gives them water and is then frightened by their report. One soldier shoots his gun; nobody approves.

  17. Discussion and Review • Focus for Reading (parenthesis) • Guided Reading (notes) • Focus Questions

  18. Focus Question #5 Consider the decisions/choices Jonathan makes (not to shoot the soldiers, to try to escape with the boy, and to leave the gun behind). Are these good choices? Why or why not?  Possible Answer: • If he shoots the soldiers while they are sleeping, he is just as much of a murderer as the person who killed the boy's parents in cold blood. • If he doesn't shoot them, he may die himself because they will kill him. • If he tries to escape with the boy, and the soldiers see them, they will probably both be killed. • If he doesn't try to escape with the boy, they could both be murdered in cold blood the way the boy's parents were. • If he takes the gun, travel to escape will be much slower, because he will not be able to carry the boy. • If he doesn't take the gun, he will not be able to defend himself or the boy.

  19. Research

  20. Research Opportunities Loading and Firing a Flintlock • Place the rifle on "half cock" (Safety) and open the pan by pushing the "frizzen" forward. • Reach into the cartridge box and grab a single cartridge. (These are twisted paper tubes with enough powder and ball for one shot.) • Bite the cartridge open. • Prime. (Place some powder in the pan of the lock.) Close the frizzen. Leave the rifle at half cock. • Charge with powder. (Pour the remaining powder down the muzzle of the barrel.) Then insert the paper-wrapped ball. This ball was NOT patched for speed in loading. • Draw the rammer. (Pull the ramrod from the stock.) • Ram. Push the ball and paper ALL THE WAY DOWN until it is resting firmly on top of the powder. • Return the rammer. (Replace the rod in the stock.) • The rifle is now LOADED. HANDLE IT WITH THE CARE DUE A LOADED WEAPON. (elapsed time: 15 seconds) • Make ready. (Bring the hammer to "full cock.") • Fire. (Squeeze trigger.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpzIb3XjyyY&feature=related

  21. Writing • Common Core Genres • Reading/Writing Thematic Prompts • Focus Questions • Quick Writes

  22. Reading/WritingThematic Prompts Coming of Age • Matt from Sign of the Beaver • Jonathan from The Fighting Ground

  23. Reading/Writing Prompt Both The Sign of the Beaver and The Fighting Ground are coming-of-age novels because the two main characters have grown up into responsible men over the course of the book. In coming-of-age novels, the main characters learn to take responsibility for their decisions and their actions. Matt from The Sign of the Beaver has to survive over four months alone in the wilderness while he waits for his family. Jonathan, who has dreamed of the glory of being a soldier, learns through experience in just one day that war is not so glorious and that he should be at home where he is needed. Writing Prompt Explain what coming of age means as it applies to Matt in The Sign of the Beaver and Jonathan in The Fighting Ground. Use evidence, details, and quotations from the two novels, especially the two excerpts you have just read, to support your explanation.

  24. Graphic Organizer Example Development: • Give evidence (SBAC) that Jonathan has come of age over the course of The Fighting Ground. • Give evidence that Matt has come of age over the course of The Sign of the Beaver.

  25. Writing Prompts • Explanations and ideas • Checklist (CCSS) • Writing Process • Graphic Organizer • Peer Editing Questions

  26. Speaking and Listening • Come to discussions prepared, having read or studied required material; explicitly draw on that preparation and other information known about the topic to explore ideas under discussion. • Follow agreed-upon rules for discussions (e.g., gaining the floor in respectful ways, listening to others with care, speaking one at a time about the topics and texts under discussion). • Ask questions to check understanding of information presented, stay on topic, and link their comments to the remarks of others. • Explaintheir own ideas and understanding in light of the discussion.
