Novel+Expertise+Week+3+Lesson+Plans

** Monday, day 11: **
 * Novel Expertise Unit Plan **
 * Week 3 **
 * Distribute [[file:MLA Format Essay.doc]] and [[file:NovelExpertiseRubric.doc]].
 * These materials help the students know exactly what the teacher is looking for. Having the rubric and various guidelines allows them to ask pertinent questions and do their best work. They should not have to guess what you want them to do.
 * Spend rest of hour in library researching.
 * Know your library’s system.
 * Have the librarian talk to the kids about the school’s Online archive/database, if any.
 * Be prepared to make copies as more than one student may need the same article.


 * Homework: **
 * Draft of introduction.

**
 *  Tuesday, day 12:
 * Free-write: “Some questions I have about getting started are:…”
 * Have students share some questions.
 * Collect the free-writes so you can assess common questions and answer them.
 * Check introductions.
 * Don’t collect, just give 10 points for having the assignment done.
 * Discuss final project.
