Lesson Topic
"The Ashen Guy" Reading and Discussion
Lesson Outline
Before beginning our reading of this article, Josh and I discussed the definition of a Narrative, and I explained to Josh that Narratives aren't just stories about events, but stories that lead readers to particular feelings and ideas about subjects. To spearhead this discussion, we conducted a "close-reading" of a picture of Obama interviewing several dogs. After much discussion, I had Josh tell me a "story" that he thought this picture was trying to communicate and cite evidence for his beliefs. Afterwards, we worked on Josh's reading and comprehension with the story "The Ashen Guy." Josh is good at recalling some very specific details, but there are moments in the narrative shift from p.o.v. that Josh could not keep track of. For every detail that he recalled from the text, I had him cite specific examples/lines that supported his ideas. In this way, Josh was able to catch some of the details that he made-up in his head. With a subject like 9/11 it was hard to keep Josh focused, and I had to tie every bit of un-related information back to the story at hand.
