Turns out, R/F/D/S isn't enough. It's a good starting place, but we need to go deeper.
Today, students skipped over writing a personal response to Speak, and instead, took a serious note on Character Analysis.
"But, Tidyman, why do we even have to do this?
Didn't we just do character analysis the other day?
Wasn't that the R/F/D/S thing?"
No. Don't be silly. That's Character Classification. It's basic. It's a good first step.
But that just means you know something about a character. And knowing, if you recall, is quite low on Bloom's Taxonomy. You deserve better.
We must seek to understand.
And so, students took notes on this powerpoint.
We then looked at S.T.E.A.L. as applied to Theodor Geisel's seminal work, The Cat in The Hat.
Due to copyright law, I cannot link to my copy of The Cat in the Hat.
I paid 6 dollars for it.
You're welcome.
To see the framework, as well as the applied example, I present this .pdf file.
It's got a little more info than we worked with today in class, but hey, whatever.
Tomorrow, students are going to practice applying this framework to other stories. They'll work in groups.
HW:
- Bring Notes notebook to class
- YOU MUST BRING BACK THOSE 2 FORMS YOUR 7TH PERIOD TEACHER GAVE YOU. #FRFR.
"Awww nawwww! He didn't!

into his blog!"
