WEEKLY LESSON PLAN - HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH DEPARTMENT

TERM: I WEEK: 2 Date: MARCH 11 - 15

Subject: LITERATURE Grade: 7th Year: 2024

Teacher: Gibson Marval

Date: Monday 03/11 Topic: ACE METHOD (TEXT EVIDENCE)

Materials/Resources
● PPT with different definitions and examples.
● Post-its
● ACE method prompt cards
● Letter A, C and E to paste on 3 corners.

Objective: Time
● To recall the components of the ACE method
● To recognize the ACE method importance in constructing well-supported responses.

Teaching:
● Lead a discussion on why providing evidence is crucial in responses. 12
● Present the ACE method visually and explain each step. Using the PPt. The SS take
notes in their notebooks.

Activity 1:
● The teacher asks the SS to form groups of 2 to practice applying ACE to provide 18
prompts.
● Students respond individually to a simple prompt using the ACE method. The teacher
checks their progress and gives feedback when necessary.
● Discuss responses and emphasize the significance of evidence.

Activity 2:
● Ask the students to summarize the ACE method in their own words on a post-it, 10
including the basic components of it and the importance for using it. Finally, they paste it
in their notebook. The teacher asks some students to share their answers.

Assessment:
● Formative - 3 corners: The teacher shows a paragraph with a correspondent question,
then he shows an answer “including” the ACE method. The SS need to confirm if the
answer includes all the elements of the method (A: answer, C: Cite evidence from the 5
text, E: Explanation). If they consider that any of these is missing from the answer, they
have to choose the corner (previously marked with the letters “A, B or C in order to
answer which element is not completing the answer. The teacher confirms and provides
explanations.

Differentiation:
For students who need extra support, provide visual aids for visual learners.
For students who excel, challenge them to read longer texts.
Date: Tuesday 03/12 Topic: ACE METHOD (TEXT EVIDENCE)

Materials/Resources
● PPT with different definitions and examples.
● The “ACE method” video.
● ACE method template

Objective: Time
● To recognize the ACE method basic components.

Procedure:
● The lesson will begin with a short video clip illustrating the importance of providing
evidence in responses. Following the video, students will participate in a brief class
discussion on why citing evidence is crucial in literature. Prior knowledge 7
Activity 1:
● To introduce the ACE method, students will receive a handout outlining the Answer, Cite,
Explain process. A common misconception to address is that providing an answer
without evidence is sufficient to support a response..

Activity 2:
● During guided practice, students will work in pairs to analyze short passages from a text. 15
They will practice identifying key points, citing evidence, and explaining their reasoning.
The teacher will circulate to provide support and feedback.

Activity 3:
● For independent practice, students will individually respond to a prompt related to the 16
text. They will use the ACE method to craft a well-structured response. The teacher will
assess student responses for mastery of the concept.

Assessment:
Formative - 5-minute pause: The teacher shows a paragraph with a correspondent 7
question, then he shows an answer “including” the ACE method. The SS need to confirm if
the answer includes all the elements of the method (A: answer, C: Cite evidence from the
text, E: Explanation). If they consider that any of these is missing from the answer, they
have to raise the right amount of fingers in the air based on the missing element. 1 for A, 2
for C and 3 for E.

Differentiation:
● For students who need extra support, provide visual aids for visual learners.
● For students who excel, they can choose a new text excerpt to analyze using the ACE method.
They will present their responses to the class for discussion.
Date: Wednesday 03/13 Topic: ACE METHOD (TEXT EVIDENCE)

Materials/Resources
● PPT with different definitions and examples.
Strategy
● Index cards

Objective: Time
● To apply the ACE method independently.

Procedure:
● Briefly review the ACE method and its components. Shown on the PPt. 8
● Discuss the importance of using ACE for effective responses.

● Model an example using the ACE method on the whiteboard.

● Have students practice identifying the main components (Answer, Cite, Explain). 10

Activities:
● Distribute handouts with examples of responses without using the ACE method.
● In pairs, students will rewrite the responses applying the ACE method. 12
● Provide a scenario for students to independently write a response using the ACE
method on index cards.
● Peer review: Students will exchange cards and provide feedback on the application of
ACE.

Assessment:
Formative: Index cards Review the index cards to evaluate the completeness of their 5
responses.

Differentiation:
● For students who need extra support, provide sentence starters for each component of ACE.
Offer additional examples and guided practice before independent application.
● For students who excel, challenge students to apply the ACE method to real-world scenarios
beyond the classroom.
Date: Thursday 03/14 Topic: ACE METHOD (TEXT EVIDENCE)

Materials/Resources
● Response examples for peer review
● Rubric for evaluating responses
● Peer review feedback forms
● PPt with examples and explanations

Objective: Time
● To evaluate responses through peer review using the ACE method.

Procedure:
● Recap the ACE method and its components.
● Explain the importance of peer review in improving responses. Prior knowledge 10

● Model a response using the ACE method and explain the criteria for evaluation.
● Break students into pairs or small groups. 7

Activities:
● Distribute response examples for peer review.
● Students will evaluate the responses based on the ACE method and provide
constructive feedback using the rubric. 23
● Rotate the response examples for multiple peer reviews.
● Encourage students to discuss their feedback and collaborate on improving the
responses.
● Facilitate a class discussion on the benefits of peer review and how it can enhance their
own responses.

Assessment:
Formative: Peer feedback Review peer feedback forms to gauge the depth and quality of 5
feedback given.

Differentiation:
● For students who need extra support, provide sentence stems for giving feedback.
● For students who excel, encourage them to provide specific, actionable feedback to their peers.

● Blank posters
● Rubric

Objective:
● To create a writing prompt (poster) about using the ACE method.
Time

Activities:
