Learning Activities
The learning activities section is a way for you to sequence your students learning. Consider this as
your way of guiding them to understanding and scaffolding their learning. Be creative, use the right
tool for the right objectives and whenever possible integrate knowledge checks with feedback and/or
reflection. Be sure to provide an overview of each activity in the sequence and how it will help the
learner achieve the learning objectives. Add learning activities as necessary.
This is where you would insert lessons if you choose to use them: Lesson 1, Lesson 2, etc. See the
example below.
Be sure to delete from this template, any activities that you do not plan to use in this module. For
example, if you will not use a “Interactive Case Study”, then delete the entire activity on Interactive

“Literary Graphic Organizer”
Using graphic organizers is a great way to brainstorm ideas for a topic. Attached are two graphic
organizers- One for stories and one for poems. You may also do a search for a different graphic organizer
if you like (for example, if you know you are going to write about theme, you can Google “theme graphic
organizers” and find one you like.)
(attach graphic organizers: “Graphic Organizers for Short Stories” and “Graphic Organizers for Poems”)
Directions:
1. Find the graphic organizer you are going to use (either one of the above, or one you found on your
own).
2. Keep in mind, if you choose one that is a pdf file, you will not be able to type in it, so you will need to
print it off. If you use a Word document, you may be able to type directly in it.
3. Fill it in with evidence and ideas from your story or poem (by hand or typed if you are able).
4. Save (or scan and save) and submit.

“Literary Analysis Outline”
You need to create an outline for your literary analysis essay (due next module). Your outline should be
typed and should follow the guidelines from both videos and handouts.
You have chosen a story or poem to write about, brainstormed possible topics, and learned about literary
analysis essays in this module. Now you need to decide on your topic, your thesis, and all the
evidence/support you are going to use in your essay and organize that information into this formal outline.
You will use this outline to write an essay that will be due next module. Here are the guidelines for that
essay:
 Needs to follow the basic essay structure discusses in Module 1
 Needs to be in MLA format. This includes font, spacing, etc.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=27&v=3Qf8AfiCcD4
 Should be between 700-1200 words (This ends up between 2-3 pages in MLA format. Your word
count shows in Microsoft Word on the bottom left of the screen).
 You do not need to do any outside research, but if you do include any, you will need to list the
sources in a Works Cited Page. https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/05/
