Develop a series of four lesson plans comprised of different strategies for teaching adolescents to decode words. Each lesson should address one of each of the following decoding-related skills: Greek/Latin words, affixes, phonics, and syllabication. Use standard lesson-plan format. Write an essay of 500-750 words on the following: Identify two effective pedagogical strategies to decode words using knowledge of phonics, syllabication, and word parts. Analyze, appraise, and explain why you think they are effective. Using examples, explain how you would transition adolescent students into writing by linking any two of the lesson plans developed for this assignment with two writing activities that further support the lesson content.

illustrate Anse’s and Darl’s points of view from William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying: From Anse: And now I got to pay for it, me without a tooth in my head, hoping to get ahead enough so I could get my mouth fixed where I could eat God’s own victuals as a man should, and her hale and well as ere a woman in the land until that day. Got to pay for being put to the need of that three dollars. Got to pay for the way for them boys to have to go away to earn it. And now I can see same as second sight the rain shutting down betwixt us, a-coming up that road like a durn man, like it want ere a other house to rain on in all the living land. I have heard men cuss their luck, and right, for they were sinful men. But I do not say it’s a curse on me, because I have done no wrong to be cussed by. I am not religious, I reckon. But peace is my heart: I know it is. I have done things but neither better nor worse than them that pretend otherlike, and I know that Old Marster will care for me as for ere a sparrow that falls. But it seems hard that a man in his need could be so flouted by a road. From Darl: Tull’s wagon stands beside the spring, hitched to the rail, the reins wrapped about the seat stanchion. In the wagon bed are two chairs. Jewel stops at the spring and takes the gourd from the willow branch and drinks. I pass him and mount the path, beginning to hear Cash’s saw. When I reach the top he has quit sawing. Standing in a litter of chips, he is fitting two of the boards together. Between the shadow spaces they are yellow as gold, like soft gold, bearing on their flanks in smooth undulations the marks of the adze blade: a good carpenter, Cash is. He holds the two planks on the trestle, fitted along the edges in a quarter of the finished box. He kneels and squints along the edge of them, then he lowers them and takes up the adze. A good carpenter. Addie Bundren could not want a better one, better box to lie in. It will give her confidence and comfort. How do the two narrators differ in how they tell the story of Addie Bundren’s impending death, and what does the reader learn about each narrator? Be sure to use specific details from the text to support your answer. 2. Read the following excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, in which the author describes the valley of ashes: This is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat into ridges and hills and grotesque gardens; where ashes take the forms of houses and chimneys and rising smoke and, finally, with a transcendent effort, of men who move dimly and already crumbling through the powdery air. What does the valley of ashes symbolize in The Great Gatsby? Which theme from the novel does the valley convey, and how does it convey the theme? Be sure to use specific details from the text to support your analysis. 3. Read the following excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, on Tom and Nick’s final encounter in New York City: I couldn’t forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. How does this excerpt contribute to the overall meaning of The Great Gatsby? What aesthetic impact is it meant to have on the reader?

Read the following paragraph from “Resistance to Civil Government” by Henry David Thoreau: This American government, —what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Analyze the rhetorical style of this paragraph. How does the style contribute to the essay’s power? In particular, consider its parallelism and figurative language in formulating your response. Be sure to include specific details from the text to support your answer. (10 points) 2. Read the following excerpt from Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Raven”: Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore!” This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”— Merely this, and nothing more. Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping something louder than before. “Surely,” said I, “surely that is something at my window lattice; Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore— Let my heart be still a moment and this mystery explore;— ‘Tis the wind and nothing more!” Analyze the effects of Poe’s use of literary devices in the poem. In particular, explain how the excerpt’s symbolism and personification are meant to affect the reader. identify two symbols you find important in The Great Gatsby. How do these symbols serve to develop the story’s multiple themes? Analyze the development of these symbols over the course of the novel, and describe the resulting effects on the reader’s experience.
