Reflection: Spotlight on Strategies:
The instructional goal that the spotlight on strategies I created addresses Text Dependent Analysis through the use of identifying character
motivation. The project/lesson provides
students with the background knowledge of the author and instruction on
vocabulary used throughout the text to provide students with a discipline mind,
Gardner states, “Second, in the course of acquiring a disciplined approach to
consequential topics, individuals will indeed pick up useful information…”
(Gardner, 37). The SOS provides the goal
to create learning opportunities for students to develop their skill of text
dependent analysis and apply it to different types of writings. This allows for the student to take the
discipline approach and synthesize the concept.
Students will develop their own voice and learn how to take the
information in a written piece to help support their way of thinking on a
topic. Gardner states I’ve already noted the strong, indeed
ineluctable, tendency of young children to see, make, and even force connections.”
(Gardner, 67). This Spotlight on
Strategies provides these opportunities through explaining tone and voice and
providing students with the ability to make connections with the text they are
given. With the goal of the Spotlight on
Strategies for Text Dependent Analysis it provides teachers and students the
opportunity to, “Celebrate, don’t censor or curtail, the connections that are
effortlessly effected by the young mind.” (Gardner, 68). The next step to the spotlight is integration
the use of digital media. These
components provide individuals with addition mediums to understand and process
the information. Students watching video
segments on tone and mood also watching the characters interacted with each
other helps provoke the understanding of the characters motivation for students
that may not be able to understand through the text. The digital media provides students with
learning moments to achieve the goal for students in the Spotlight. The next step to this unit would be to
provide students with a project to activate their creative mind through a
project-based activity for example, one pagers for students to express their ideas of
the unit on the short stories of Poe.
