11th Grade English/Language Arts
Third Six Weeks: Week 1
Writer: Renee Sena
TEKS:
1B, 2A, 2B,
9A, 9B, 9C,
9D, 25, 26
Objective:

The students will analyze the author’s opinion and use of comparisons in a work of
transcendentalism to discover how the viewpoints and descriptions influence the author’s
tone, diction, and style.
 The students will create and present a powerpoint showing their evaluation of one of the
transcendentalist authors.
Overview:
This six weeks, students should observe the shift that takes place in literature, from Romanticism to
Transcendentalism to Realism. Students should also understand the correlation of events from history, primarily
the Civil War, which shapes the themes, tone, and style of writing.
Transcendentalism: an American literary and philosophical movement in the nineteenth century; based in New
England; believed that intuition and the individual conscience “transcend” experience and thus are better guides to
truth than the senses and logical reason; influenced by Romanticism (respect for the individual world and natural
world; divinity present everywhere, in nature and in people)
Additional pieces of literature that would correlate with the 1800s and civil war and would also serve as good
options for self-selected reading during this six weeks include:
 Across Five Aprils by Irene Hunt
 Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry by Mildred D. Taylor
 The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane
 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
 Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington
 The Autobiography of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass
 Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell
 Little Women by Louisa May Alcott
 Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier
Essential Questions:
What is transcendentalism?
How did transcendentalism influence American culture and society?
Suggested Lesson Ideas:
1.Emerson and Walden
Before reading
 Read about transcendentalism of pages 360-361 in the Literature Textbook
 Review academic vocabulary: romanticism, transcendentalism, realism/Literary terms: figurative language,
metaphor, simile, analogy, synecdoche, diction, tone, theme, style, allusion/ SAT vocabulary: (from
Emerson: perpetual, decorum, tranquil, conviction, chaos, aversion, absolve) (from Thoreau: dilapidated,
sublime, superfluous, magnanimity, expedient, alacrity)
 Journal: “What role does nature play in your life?”
During reading
 Divide students into small groups and assign each group either Emerson’s writing selections or Walden’s
writing selections.

371)
- Thoreau: Walden (pages 378-387) and Civil Disobedience (pages 388-389)
 Students should use two graphic organizers to collect information while reading. The first is to “Challenge
the Text” by collecting textual evidence, explaining the meaning of the evidence, connecting one’s
1
experience or questions, and concluding with a reaction statement to the author’s opinion. The second is to
“Find Comparisons” by writing the textual evidence of the comparison, plainly state what the comparison
is, and explaining the meaning of the comparison. The teacher can select how many challenges and
comparisons to find.
 Intervention: Use the ancillary material provided in the Reader’s Notebook: Adapted Version to provide
struggling students with skills instruction, a summary, and a note-taking guide.
After reading
 Students should discuss general information about the author’s purpose, style, and tone by answering the
Critical Reading questions at the end of each piece, using open-ended questions from the ancillary material,
or taking an open-book quiz or test as a group.
 Enrichment: Research and report on other accomplishments of Emerson and Thoreau; they both were
active in different ways in society.
2. Media Connection
Student small groups should each make a powerpoint on either Emerson or Thoreau.
 The powerpoint could discuss details of the author’s work including:
- Author’s purpose
- Writing style
- Tone
- Diction
- Use of rhetorical techniques (esp. metaphor, simile, analogy, allusions, etc.)
- Include quotations from the text
- Include pictures to enhance the information

poetry. His writing is similar to Whitman and Dickenson in several ways.
During reading
 Divide students up into four groups to each read one of Hughes’s poems, and analyze according to the
TPCASTT method.
 Intervention: Give struggling readers a graphic organizer, which gives the major quotes from the poem that

Third Six Weeks: Week 3
Writer: Renee Sena
Objective:




The students will brainstorm and plan for the literary analysis essay on a selected poem.
The students will write a first draft.
The students will revise and edit for lead-ins, embedding, correctly cited quotations, and
depth of explanations.
The students will produce a final, corrected draft.
TEKS:
13A, 13B,
13C, 13D,
13E, 15A,
21A, 21B,
21C, 23D
Overview
Although correctly analyzing a poem using appropriate descriptions found in the TP-CASTT method for the literary
analysis essay is important, the writing process remains the paramount skill to master: prewriting, planning,
drafting, revising, editing, and publishing.

English 3 students should develop their essays to a length of between 500-700 words and should use MLA
format when typing: Times New Roman, 12 point font, double-spaced, 1” margins, etc.
The details of a literary analysis essay should be discussed: formal tone, 3rd person point of view (he, she, it, they,
them, etc.), use of present tense verbs, use of quotations to support ideas, descriptions that use discussion of
literary elements, no contractions, etc. Grammar warm-ups would be an excellent activity to support editing skills.
Using one piece of literary criticism found in an online database or in criticism set of a library would be helpful in
writing their analysis. Encourage students to stay away from .com sits, including Wikipedia, Sparknotes, etc.,
possibly mandating them to get their source approved by use. Also, review citing sources and parentheticals
according to MLA formatting guidelines.
A standardized rubric should be used across grade levels with comparable features to the TAKS essay rubric. It can
be as holistic or specific as the department desires, but it should be used for each formal essay evaluation.
Essential Questions:
Why write about literature?
Why is literary criticism helpful in writing a literary analysis essay?
How well do you understand the point of view, tone, and theme of your selected poem?
Suggested Lesson Ideas:
Notes on the Literary analysis essay can be found on pages R18-R23 of the Prentice Hall Literature Textbook and
pages 196-216 of the Prentice Hall Grammar Textbook.
Brainstorming: Allow students to choose one of the poems read last week from one of the following authors:
 Emily Dickenson
 Walt Whitman
 Langston Hughes
 Paul Lawrence Dunbar
In addition to choosing a poet and poem, remind students that the same prompt applies to any piece:
 After analyzing a poem according the TP-CASTT method, synthesize the textual evidence and material from
one source of criticism to explain your poem’s point of view (and author’s connection or historical context),
tone and use of diction, and overall theme (central message).
Planning: An outline or other organizational plan should be completed before writing a first draft. Students can
even use 1) point of view, 2) tone, 3) theme as the three body paragraph descriptors.
6
Drafting: Students should use their outlines and an example essay to write a first draft
Revising & Editing: Separate sessions should be conducted for revising and editing.
 Revising can focus on evaluating the lead-ins, embedding, and incorporation of quotations.
 Editing can focus on grammar, spelling, capitalization, and punctuation errors, as well as minilessons (5-10
minute lessons) on removing passive voice, using present tense verbs, varying sentence structure, adding
details, being concise, and checking MLA citations, for example. This will give students a hands-on approach
to grammar.
 Many formats can be used to complete these steps: individual revision & edit/peer revision & edit/teacherstudent private conferencing.
 Ideally, students would produce 2-3 drafts and correct make many types of corrections before producing a
final draft.
Key Questions to ask about essay:
 How clearly are the ideas supported with textual evidence?
 How organized are the topic sentences and thesis?
 How interesting are your introduction and conclusion?
 How poignant are your explanations?
 How correct is your grammar?
Publishing: A final draft should be free from all errors and ready for grading.

Objective:



The students will identify the parts of the plot in a short story and analyze the
organizational pattern by looking at details of time and place.
The students will write a short story in the organization pattern of “An Occurrence at the
Owl Creek Bridge.”
The students will avoid and fix sentence errors like fragments, comma splices, and run-ons
and will be able to identify and use different types of phrases and clauses.
Overview
The parts of the plot are called:
 Exposition: introduces the setting, the characters, and the basic situation
 Inciting Incident: introduces the central conflict
 Rising Action: events that lead up to the climax
 Climax: the highest point of interest or suspense
 Falling Action: events that follow the climax
 Resolution (also called the Denouement): events or description that ends a story
Point of view is also important to understand in a story:
 1st person point of view: I, Me, My, Mine
 2nd person point of view: You, Your, Yours
 3rd person point of view: He, She, It, His, Hers, They, Them, Theirs
 Limited: the narrator only relates the inner thoughts and feelings of only one character and everything else
is viewed from this character’s perspective
 Omniscient: the narrator knows and tells about what each character feels and thinks
“An Occurrence at the Owl Creek Bridge” is written in 3rd person limited point of view (Peyton Farquhar).
Essential Questions:
What is the relationship between literature and place?
How is plot developed in the short story “An Occurrence at the Owl Creek Bridge”?
How do organizational patterns affect the telling of a story?
Suggested Lesson Ideas:
1. Ambrose Bierce
Before reading

incident, rising action, climax, falling action, resolution, omniscient point of view, limited point of view,
third person point of view, stream of consciousness/ SAT vocabulary: etiquette, deference, dictum,
summarily, apprised, ineffable
 Read about Ambrose Bierce on page 497.
 Review the plot chart and explain how the events of this story can be plotted on the chart, but they will be
read out of order.
During reading
 Read the account quietly and independently
 Fill out a graphic organizer for each section on the textual evidence that refers to the time and key events.
 Intervention: Struggling readers should receive a copy of teacher notes on the short story and should be
encouraged to listen to the audio version during class if possible.
After reading
 Share notes on the graphic organizer about each section.
 Write a one-paragraph response about how time and place were essential to the development of the story.
8

Enrichment: Make a list of details from the story that seems realistic and a list that seems romantic; write a
one-paragraph response explaining whether the short story is more romantic or realistic.
2. Writing a Short Story
 Students should brainstorm and journal some personal experiences they have had, in which to write a story
about. They can be simple experiences, but should rely strongly on the time and place in telling the story.
 Have students pick one story and plot it out according to the plot chart.
 Write a rough draft of their short story in the organizational pattern of “An Occurrence at the Owl Creek
Bridge.”
3. Grammar Focus
 Teach students to avoid common sentence errors: fragments, comma splices, and run-ons.
- Use the Prentice Hall Grammar Textbook to show examples and to get practice fixing these errors.
- Peer edit student short stories for these errors.
 Also, teach different types of phrases and clauses: (verb [participle], preposition, noun, adverbial,
adjectival, appositive, etc.)
- Use the Prentice Hall Grammar Textbook to show examples and get practice identifying the types
of phrases and clauses.
- Self-edit student short stories to identify and include a certain number of phrases and clauses in
their short stories.

The students will take and pass a TAKS milestone.
The students will take and pass a six weeks test.
The students will take and pass a semester exam.
Overview:
Another assessment for TAKS will indicate how well the objectives from this six weeks’ lessons have been mastered
and how prepared they are becoming for the EXIT TAKS test.
A six weeks test constructed by the teacher may additionally indicate the mastering of specific objectives for pieces
of literature, literary elements, academic and SAT vocabulary, grammar, and writing.
A semester exam constructed by the teacher may additionally indicate the mastering of specific objectives in a
comprehensive way, including all information from the entire semester.
Essential Questions:
Have you mastered the objectives this six weeks?
How well do you understand literature of transcendentalism and the Civil War?
How well do you remember what you have learned during the semester?
Suggested Lesson Ideas:
1.Six Weeks Test Review
 The six weeks test review can be a game of jeopardy, with categories including poetry terms,
transcendentalism, plot structure, civil war literature, and grammar.
 The teacher should create the answers and questions on pieces of 8 1/2 “ x 11” paper and tape them to the
wall or whiteboard.
 Students should be divided into groups as teams, switching representatives to “buzz in.”
 The questions should also closely resemble the test questions.
2.TAKS milestone:
 The Texas Test Preparation Assessment on pages 682-686 (The expository selection “Brave New World”
with multiple choice questions 1-7, the short answer question 8 (Does the author think the experience of
working and living in Lowell was positive or negative? Support your answer with evidence from the
selection), and the revising and editing selection “Abraham Lincoln” with multiple-choice questions1-4.
 An optional essay, “Write a composition about what you learning from experiencing something new,” may
also be included as a timed writing if desired.
3.Six Weeks Test
 The teacher-constructed six weeks test could be multiple choice, true-false, matching, fill-in-the-blank with
or without a word bank, open-ended, or essay in nature. It would be beneficial for all English 3 teachers to
collaborate, create, and use the same assessment to ensure the consistency of assessment and achievement
of students.
4. Semester Exam
 The teacher-constructed semester exam could be multiple choice, true-false, matching, fill-in-the-blank
with or without a word bank, open-ended, or essay in nature. It would be beneficial for all English 3
teachers to collaborate, create, and use the same assessment to ensure the consistency of assessment and
achievement of students. Teachers may want to discuss the possibility of allowing students to use notes
and materials on this test, thereby rewarding students for being organized and keeping up with materials
all semester long.
