| Evaluation of Teaching
Resources:
All of the resources used to facilitate
the teaching of this Interdisciplinary Unit were very useful. The
resources were both age and grade appropriate. The writing resource
guides (Writing Workshop Survival Kit, Writing Resource Activities Kit,
Writing: Grammar, Usage, and Style, The Art of Teaching Writing, and Craft
Lessons: Teaching Writing K-8) provided quick little mini lessons I could
tailor to the novel. Such activities gained from these resources
were the symbol activity centers, critical analysis of the novel, and point
of view journals. The glossary I used to better emphasize the importance
of literary terms was extremely helpful. Many times throughout the
course of the unit, students encountered multiple literary devices.
The definitions and examples from this resources were easily understood
by the students. The Fahrenheit 451 resource guides provided
reproducible handouts and notes that were used to supplement my lessons.
This enabled me to ask students additional questions to ensure full comprehension
and knowledge retention. The Resources used from the web were given
to the students to review and discover how Nazi Germany related to aspects
within the novel. Other books were also used to connect Nazi Germany
with the novel. These books at first glance seemed to be a bit complex
for the students. However, after review and reading them on my own,
I realized that the content and information presented in the books was
suitable for student review. Students eagerly searched through the
books to gain information supporting this projects.
