class).
Their Do Now will be to figure out what a portmanteau is and write down as many as they
can think of alone or with a partner.
We will read through Jabberwocky as a class. On the first read through, students will just
listen and silently try to figure out what the poem is saying.
The second time through, they will circle all of the words that they dont knowthere will
be a lot of them.
After their second read-through, they will work through their Chunking and Inferences
graphic organizer.
They will then meet with a partner and compare their answers and try to create a better
reading of Jabberwocky together.
Their Ticket out the Door will be to write down a one sentence summary of what happened
in Jabberwocky.
Desired Understandings: Concepts and Skills
Data Collected
I want for them to start recognizing that words they
come across that they dont know could be
combinations of words that they do know. Along with
that, the ability to define words using context words is
essential, the chunking graphic organizer will help
them with both of these skills.
To tackle a new poem while learning how to define words through context clues.
