Procedures
Warm-up/Motivator (8 minutes):
Students will sit in their assigned seats and copy down the homework.
The teacher will explain the days activities. The students will be grouped.
Guided Practice/Independent Task (25 minutes):
Divided according to chosen novel and then divided into small groups,
students will rotate between four stations.
The stations for both novels are as follows (6-7 minutes each station):
Read the first three pages of the novel
Explore author information on Chromebooks
Leukemia (Red Kayak) OR Chesapeake Bay (Drums)
Practice novel vocabulary on Chromebooks
Concurrent Hexagon Activity
At each station, students will choose three main/big ideas and write each of
those ideas on a hexagon, giving them a total of twelve hexagons upon
completion on the stations.
Exit ticket (20 minutes):
Students will watch a 1-minute video clip of students engaging in a
hexagonal thinking activity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxsN6yLUED4.
After an explanation by the teacher, the students will arrange the completed
hexagons to show connection between concepts they explored in the
stations and glue them to paper (see Appendix A for example). On the flip
side, they will write a paragraph explaining those connections and justify
their reasoning.
Summary/Closure (3 minutes)

Assessment
As students are working in small groups, the teacher will circulate, observe,
and check for understanding.
Formative Assessment: The students will complete an exit ticket that asks
them to make connections between what theyve learned at the stations.
Individually, they will write a few sentences explaining those connections
and justifying their reasoning. The exit ticket will be collected and assessed.
Summative Assessment: Students will be assessed on comprehension by 1)
taking a multiple choice question test on the novel and 2) completing a
differentiated choice board project.
Generalization/Extension Activity
Students will be engaged in reading, stations, and completing their
organizer. In the event that a student finishes the exit ticket early, they may
read their novel.
As students continue through the novel, they may add to the hexagons.
