Differentiating Instruction from
Pre-assessment
Students participate in a pre-assessment 'KWL' to respond to the questions:
1) What is satire?
2) How is it used in writing?
3) Can you give any examples of its use in books, cartoons, movies, or TV shows?
Students will be given 10 minutes to respond to these prompts. ELL and special education students will be given the definition of satire to help guide their completion of this pre-assessment.
After the 15 minutes is over, I will give students the opportunity to share some of their responses with the class. I will collect the responses from the KWL pre-assessment and try to summarize the ideas of the class to give a basic definition of what satire is, and how it is used. I will explain to students that each student has been exposed to plenty of satire in popular culture, but it is possible that they have never recognized it.
I will show the class 2 youtube clips; the first will help answer the basic question of "What is Satire", the second is of a TV show called Family Guy, that uses lots of satire. The clip from Family Guy will help students see what satire looks like in television shows that they are hopefully familiar with. While students are watching the clips, I will sort through students KWL papers to determine homogenous groupings for differentiated instructions.
The students will be split into groups of about 5 students each based on levels of understanding. There will be 4 different stations for students to rotate through with an optional 5th station. The 5th station will allow advanced students to test their knowledge and challenge themselves. Each student will have the opportunity to experience each learning station.
Differentiation will occur through:
The order in which student groups experience the learning stations
The amount of support needed by each group
The complexity of the questions asked at each station depending on which group students are in
Formative assessments I will use:
Fist to Five- students hold out fingers to represent their understanding; 5 for complete understanding, fist for no idea what is going on
Kahoot- I will use one learning station to check for understanding using kahoot. I will make this the last station for students who struggled the most.
Exit Slip- Students will identify 3 things that they learned, 2 things they found interesting, and 1 question that they still have.
The 5 learning stations will be:
Performance Art- Students will take turns role playing satirical characters dictated by note cards (this station will be optional)
Watch a Video- Students will watch a video about satire and answer a few questions. This will help students see how satire is used in video media.
Comic Strips- Will be given a blank comic strip with some suggestions for satirical characters and places where they could possibly interact.
Read a Passage with Questions- Students will read a satirical article and answer questions. This will help students see how satire is used in writing.
Kahoot practice- Students will test their knowledge using a kahoot quiz. This will be a fun formative assessment for the students, and it will inform me on their understanding of the central concept.
