In this lesson, students read the story “Pyramus and Thisbe,” which is the story the mechanicals are rehearsing throughout A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Students closely read the text to gain a deeper understanding of the story before they read how the story is performed in the play within the play.

In this lesson, students read the play within the play, “Pyramus and Thisbe,” performed by Bottom and his group of players for Theseus, Hippolyta, and the lovers. They compare and contrast the two plays to determine why the play “Pyramus and Thisbe” was written into A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

In this lesson, students map out the narrative structure of the story “Pyramus and Thisbe” using a new narrative structure organizer.

In this lesson students compare the structure of the narrative as mapped out on the “Pyramus and Thisbe” Narrative Structure note-catcher from the previous lesson. Students reread Act 5, Scene 1 of A Midsummer Night’s Dream in parts, and as a whole group compare the similarities and differences in structure; whole group thinking is captured on an anchor chart.

This lesson focuses on Shakespeare’s craft, and allows students to think about how Shakespeare crafted a text in which other themes simultaneously come through.

The Mid-Unit 2 Assessment has two parts, taking two lessons to complete. In Part 1, students read a new myth and plot the narrative structure on the same Narrative Structure note-catcher used in Lesson 6 of this unit.

Although this is the first official lesson of Unit 3, students began preparing in Unit 2, Lessons 16 and 17. In this lesson, students complete an on-demand mid-unit assessment. The questions posed in the assessment have been discussed at length in previous lessons, so students should be able to answer them confidently.

In this lesson, students peer-critique the character confession narrative of a peer against the Character Confessional Narrative anchor chart.

In this lesson, students complete an on-demand end of unit assessment. They are required to write a commentary to answer specific questions about the connections between their narrative and the play A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

In this lesson, students have the opportunity to read-aloud a portion of their confessional or their entire confessional to a small group of peers. This is not a speaking and listening assessment, but rather provides students with an opportunity to further create a community of writers.

In this lesson, students analyze and describe embedded numbers (to 10) using 5-groups and number bonds.

In this lesson, student reason about embedded numbers in varied configurations using number bonds

In this lesson, students represent "put together" situations with number bonds. Count on from one embedded number or part to totals of 6 and 7 and generate all addition expressions for each total.

In this lesson, students represent "put together" situations with number bonds. Count on from one embedded number or part to totals of 6 and 7 and generate all addition expressions for each total.

In this lesson, students represent put together situations with number bonds. Count on from one embedded number or part to totals of 8 and 9 and generate all expressions for each total.

In this lesson, students represent all the number pairs of 10 as number bond diagrams from a given scenario and generate all expressions equal to 10.

In this lesson, student solve "put together with result unknown" math stories by drawing and using 5-group cards.

In this lesson, students solve "add to with change unknown" math stories as a context for counting on by drawing, writing equations, and making statements of the solution.

In this lesson, students solve "add to with change unknown" math stories using 5-group cards.

In this lesson, students tell "put together with result unknown", "add to with result unknown", and "add to with change unknown" stories from equations.
