What are some things that could push a person to such extreme actions?
teach that or why I am teaching it. Hopefully by the time my next lesson is due I will
have a clearer understanding of what is expected of me. I think this lesson effectively
uses a nonfiction primary source to understand and analyze a problem in this case
revenge. I think this lesson would go great at the later middle part of the unit when
students have already read examples of revenge in Hamlet. I think the activities
support the objective of the day by showing exactly how revenge affects real
individuals in real life situations as well as their motives behind it.
The Prezi ties all your activities together and makes it easier to see how each
element builds on the next. I appreciate you taking the time to make the
Prezi and identify clear talking points. As far as I can tell, your lesson plan is
also error freethank you!
Like I said in your initial plan, I like how you use relevant non-fiction texts to
initiate meaningful discussion and connect to a difficult Shakespearean text. I
encourage you and your other group members to sit down and hash out your
questions abovewhy are we teaching revenge? What is our goal? What do
we want students to get out of this? If you guys can all come up with a
shared vision for this unit, your lessons will be much more focused and
cohesive.
Overall, these are great changes that improve the quality of this lesson.
