Tindley Accelerated School Grade/ Subject: 7th Grade ELA Collaborator(s), if applicable[1]: Objective Please write your lesson objective below. Then, indicate which standard(s) are addressed. You should include the tag and the text of the standard (e.g., RI.7.1: Cite several pieces of textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text). Reading lesson objective: SWBAT read to understand chronology of events and to learn more about what most motivates Hamilton (That motivation being his political reputation) Rationale for Text Selection and Strategy:Think Aloud Standard(s) addressed: RL8.3, Analyze how particular lines of dialogue or incidents in a story or drama propel the action, reveal aspects of a character, or provoke a decision Text and Stopping Points Please indicate the text you’ve selected for your think aloud. Then, record the last sentence before each stopping point and, in 1-2 sentences, explain your rationale for stopping there. Because the number of stopping points will depend on the length of the text, you may add rows. Title of text: Hamilton The Revolution by Lin Manuel Miranda Page numbers:25-27 Stopping Point “Almost a thousand dollars, paid in different amounts” Rationale What’s that Thousand Dollars for? What is it for? Who’s this Reynolds guy? Who is paying? ELA-301 © Relay Graduate School of Education.

What about virtue? - Right, so virtue means And the evidence suggests you’ve engaged in speculation `What does speculation mean? Speculation means to form a belief based on no evidence. In this context, speculation means to put money into, or invest, in something that has the chance to winning someone money but also makes it likely that they will lose money. In real life, Reynolds speculated using the wages of revolutionary war soldiers, which he was in jail for. He accused Hamilton of doing the same, which Jefferson says here. An immigrant embezzling our government funds This part of the text tells me that Burr hates people who are not from America since immigrant means someone who moves from their country to live in another, in this case America. It is as though Hamilton is not American and Burr is verbally “expelling him” from the country “How do I know you won’t use this against me” As the song ends, this lyric tells me that Hamilton’s nightmare of a scandal ruining his reputation has ended, but he has to make sure that his enemies won’t bring it up again and further hurt his position in society Reflection If you filmed a video synchronously with your students, please identify one strength and one area of improvement in your think aloud or questioning. Include specific evidence of each, and make clear connections to student proficiency. What lessons are learned? How are they transferable to future instruction? If you filmed a video asynchronous for your students, please review the recording and review any follow up student work to help you identify one strength and one area of improvement in your think aloud or questioning. Using the student work, include specific evidence of each, and make clear connections to student proficiency. What lessons are learned? How are they transferable to future instruction?
