I'm new to 5th grade and next week, we are supposed to begin ccss 5.7 "Analyze how visual and multimedia elements contribute to the meaning, tone, or beauty of a text (e.g. graphic novels, multimedia presentation of fiction, folktale, myth, or poem.)" Any lesson ideas? Thanks!
I assume you Googled this already... but in case you didn't: http://ccss5.watchknowlearn.org/Category.aspx?CategoryID=15583 http://rpdp.net/pdfs/NACS_ELA/Fifth Grade/Reading Literature/RL.5.7.pdf https://www.engageny.org/ccls-ela/rl57 http://www.shmoop.com/common-core-standards/ccss-ela-literacy-rl-5-7.html http://betterlesson.com/common_core...he-meaning-tone-or-beauty-of-a-text-e-g-graph I'm sure there are other resources out there too.
This is when you can praise Marzano's thinking. You can compare and contrast the two different presentations of the same material. Read the novel The Phantom Tollbooth with the class, and then watch the movie.
Provide copies of various graphic novels along with the traditional text format of the same story for comparison. To demonstrate deeper understanding, have kids create their own graphic novels based on novels they've read then explain how graphic novel format contributes to the story telling. After watching a movie of a book they've read, they can also create their own movies based on novels they've read and explain how the movie format contributes to the "meaning, tone, or beauty" of the text.
