I. SUMMATIVE ASSIGNMENT RATIONALE (2 points): My unit plan explores how literature can explore social issues and comment on
those prevalent issues in society. There are several overarching learning goals for the unit. They include determining an authors point of view or
purpose in a text, analyzing different parts of a text that portray the female character as a heroine, and citing evidence from the text that support
both of these skills. This assessment will be used around halfway through the quarter. It will require students to analyze a text and the
development of a selected theme and examine how social events affect the play. Students will be put into groups and assigned a section of the
play. They will then decide what themes they want to emphasize and adapt their section. They can change the time and setting of the play as well
as the language. Once they have finished adapting their assigned section, they will each write a playbill note. In this note, they will have to justify
the choices they made as a group. The last part of the assignment will be to present their adapted section to the rest of the class. This assessment
is helpful in checking student understanding; it allows for the students to show the depth of their knowledge and understanding of the play as well
as how society (in any time) can affect the writing of the story. This will be a criterion-referenced assessment.
Unit Plan Learning Goals
This assignment assesses student understanding of the following unit plan learning goals:
Analyze the development of two ore more themes or central ideas over the course of the text (RL.11-12.2)
Analyze a case in which grasping the point of view requires distinguishing what is directly stated in a text from what is really
meant (RL.11-12.6)
Develop and support a claim with textual evidence (RL.11-12.1, W.11-12.2, W.11-12.9))
Participate effectively in collaborative discussions (SL.11-12.1)
Adapt speech to a variety of contexts and tasks (SL.11-12.16)
Write narratives to develop events using effective technique, well-chosen details, and well-structured event sequences (W.11-12.3)
Produce clear and coherent writing in which the development, organization, and style are appropriate to task, purpose, and
audience (W.11-12.4)
Develop and strengthen writing as needed by planning, revising, editing, rewriting, or trying a new approach, focusing on
addressing what is most significant for a specific purpose and audience (W.11-12.5)
Task Description: Each person in your group will be assigned a role essential to the production of a play
(dramaturg, director, producer, designer, etc.). Using the examples provided in class, you will create your own
playbill note. In this note, you will explain the choices your group made and why you made them. Make sure to
include what you want the audience to take away from your performance and how your changes will help them
understand what is going on.

Task Description: You and your group will perform your adaption of A Dolls House in front of the class. As a group,
you will decide who is assigned what character. You will use the character analysis we completed earlier in the
quarter while reading the play to help inform your choices of how you portray them. I will be looking for your own
interpretation of the character throughout the performance. Make sure you are able to justify any choices you do
make. As a group, you may bring in props and/or costumes if you think they will help improve your performance.
