    Interactive Phase

    9. Focusing Event: “Everyone think about what it may mean to be a Highway Man.” Discuss in whole group what they think of a highway man? Read together the biography of author (ELMO) and explain the meaning of a highway man to the setting of 18th century England. What would you call a Highway Man of the 21st Century? What makes you think that is true of a Highway Man?

    Formative Check: Ask each student their thought about a Highhway Man by choosing each student.

    Transition: This is an example of a Highway Man. Today we will explore the poetic expression and meaning of a Highway in the 18th Century.

    11. Active Learning

    Active Learning: Create a T-chart based on your past experience with poetry of any type, give three pieces of positive feedback and three pieces of negative feedback.

    Formative Check: Walk around to check answers on paper. Talk to them about the ease of poetry.

    Transition: Now that we know about past experiences with poetry let us move on the the Highway Man.

    Put below photo on the ELMO.

    Active Learning: Provide background information on what a “highwayman” was, his purpose, and why he was celebrated in song, poems and literature. Looking at the portrait, ask about the features that would help you identify a highwayman?

    Formative Check: Put students in a circle. Have student write down their answers and then go over answers around the circle.

    Transition: Now that they have an understanding about what and who a Highway Man is they can now separate into small groups of three or four and read them poem.

    Active Learning: In small groups of three or four students each student with get a stanza from the poem. In their small groups students will analyze their section on a sheet of paper to be handed in. I will circulate around groups to hear the discussion.

    Formative Check: Groups will now get into a large circle and collectively dissect the poem and discuss what each group had, meaning they will recite their section because no one else has that section and tell class what they thought.

    12. Closure: As a class, ask groups to share one word or phrase they learned no tow can be alike.

    13. Extending Activity: Develop a character sketch of a highwayman or update their stanza to a 21st Century language, so that you will be prepared to discuss it in class tomorrow.

    Post-Instructional Phase:

    14. Evaluation (Summative): The teacher will assess the students by keeping track of who asks questions and participates with group and class discussion during reading. Reading what was written in class and viewing homework the following day.

  • Urban Special Education Teachers?

    I am a grad student at LeMoyne College in Syracuse NY. I need opinions on the following questions:

    1. As an individual that works with students/special needs what is the hardest thing (in terms of the most difficult student) to change and/or help?

    2. How can we get more parent involvement before referring students for IEPs?

    3. How and what could educators/parents do to limit labeling (emotionally impaired/behaviorally impaired)?

    4. Why are so many minority students overrepresented in Special Education classrooms in inner city schools?

    5. As more minority students end up labeled do parents/school staff understood long term effects for child into adulthood? What do you think some of these long term effects are?

  • Grad student in my education class said the teacher dressed like a pim-.?

    She said I took it out of context but there are only 3 African Americans in the class. The teacher, me and my boyfriend. I think I am justified in saying that was wrong in any context. It's a Multi-diversity Education Class.

  • I would like weight loss program designed for overweight children that's not $6,000 a month. Live Syr. NY.

    I have located many programs but none of them were in a price range that wasn't under 4,000 a month nor was it in the upstate New York area. My son isn't that old (12) and he is shy and it would be easier to lose weight with people his own weight and age. I noticed many programs but they had horny kids that seems not really ready to lose weight. I seen the program on MTV.
