English 2
OBJECTIVE: By the end of class,
students will practice parts of speech, make predictions and make real life connections to non-fiction literature (using cause /effect and situational irony).
DO NOW:
In "The Leap," the mom's risky behavior killed her first child (when she was on trapeze at 7 months pregnant). She then selflessly risked her life to save her second child from the fire. Does it make a difference if TAKING RISKS IS SELFISH OR SELFLESS? DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE RISK TURNS OUT TO BE SUCCESSFUL?
DIRECT INSTRUCTION
WORD SPLASH -Write down 5 adjectives (descriptive words) and 5 nouns (person, place, thing) that relate to the following photo.
From the picture and the words you wrote, what do you think this story is going to be about?

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE (ON NEOS):
Answer CRQ's and Make Connections:
1. Do you think climbing Mt. Everest is similar to the flying trapeze as far as RISK is concerned?
2. Tell us something that happened as a direct result of your actions this year. How did you cause it to happen? Was the effect positive or negative and was it the effect you wanted? Would you do it again?
3. Participatory journalists take great risks to report accurate information to the public. Would this be an interesting career for you? Is the excitement of risk-taking worth the danger?
4. Write down 10 facts you’ve learned on pages 350-351. Pair with another student to compare and add any facts you may not already have. SPELL CHECK!
EXIT PASS: In the passage we will begin tomorrow, a leader goes against his own rules and makes a decision that results in devastation. When, if ever, is it OK to go against the rules?
