Hayley Weakley 6004.TX Assignment #5 Grade: Third ELA Texas State Standards: Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) 3.10 (D) describes how the author's use of imagery, literal and figurative language such as simile, and sound devices such as onomatopoeia achieves specific purposes. Lesson Plan: The focus of today’s lesson is to identify figurative language such as personification. I will have the students sitting at their desks where they can view the document camera where the mentor text will be displayed. The text I have chosen for today’s lesson is The Legend of Rock, Paper, and Scissors by Drew Daywalt. I chose this text because the story uses non-human characters and gives them human-like characteristics, which gives several examples of personification. We will begin by defining what personification is, which is giving non-human items human characteristics, and write the definition on the anchor chart. I will read the story with enthusiasm and exaggeration to engage listeners and I will stop to ask questions, such as “is a rock a person? How does a rock have feelings?” Once we read the story, I will go to the anchor chart where we defined personification, and page by page from the book, the class will identify personification and I will write those examples on the anchor chart. I will write a few sentences that are “boring” and ask the students to use personification to help make them more interesting. For example: - The sun is shining. - The wind is blowing. - My phone is ringing. Now, we will go back and look at the sentences we identified from the text and see how they used personification to make their story interesting and see what the class can come up with to help out with my sentences. Examples of what the students may come up with: - The sun is smiling down on the meadow. - The wind is dancing outside my window. - My phone is singing a melody of urgency. Students will then work with a partner on more “boring” sentences, that are provided, together and make them more interesting by adding in personification. If a student is struggling, I will read the original sentence out loud and refer back to the examples on the anchor chart that are provided from the text and the sentences the class came up with together. I will ask leading questions about how we can give human characteristics to a non-human item. For instance, I would ask about the five senses or feelings we have that they could use in their sentences.
At the end of the activity, I will have some pairs of students share what they came up with. Since everyone will have the same base sentences, it will be a good learning moment that there can be more than one way to add personification to a sentence.
