Lesson #10
Name of Lesson: The Attack Game
Goals and Objectives:
Goals: Students will review and discuss the book in detail.
Objectives: Students will review questions about the book and discuss with their group what the
correct answer is for the question.
State Standards:

Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explici

tly as well as inferences drawn from the text. (910.RL.1)

By the end of grade 9, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poe
ms, in the grades 9 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as

needed at the high end of the range. (9.RL.10)

Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing whether the r
easoning is valid and the evidence is relevant and sufficient; identify false statements and
fallacious reasoning. (910.RI.8)
Materials and Tools:

Materials: Students will need dry eraser markers, a white board, sheets of construction paper, and
crayons.
Procedures:
Motivational/ Anticipatory Set: (8 minutes)

The teacher will write on the board What do you think about the book so far? What are

common predictions that you are making about the book?

Students will walk in the classroom, complete their daily journal prompt and quickly talk
to their dialogue partners about the previous reading.

When they have completed both of those tasks, the teacher will start putting students into
groups randomly. Seven students in a single group and there should be about four groups
total.

Activity 1: The Attack Game (42 Minutes)

After students are placed in their groups, the teacher will give five minutes to the groups
to draw a shape, object, or castle on a piece of paper. After completing this, students will

place their drawing on the white board with regular tape.

The teacher will discuss the game with the students. The teacher is going to have the
review questions and the answers.
o The teacher will randomly pick a group to go first and ask them a review question
for Graceling. The group gets the question right then they chose another group to
attack (to signal an attack, the teacher will draw an X next to the groups picture).
If the group gets the question wrong, their group will be attacked instead.
Whoever has the least attack points wins and will be awarded with candy, free
homework passes, or something that the students agree on (that fits the budget).

Closing: Exit Ticket (5 minutes)

Students will write on a piece of paper if this game was a good review or if they think it
did not go well. Students will also write suggestions to improve this game, like more time

or less time or better prizes.

Homework: Students will read chapter 21 and chapter 22.
Reflective Assessment and Evaluation:

Evaluation/ Assessment: The assessment will be the attack game because students are going to
have to answer questions about their readings in order to do well.
Troubleshooting: Provide an extra copy of the questions and answers and if students are being
too rowdy, their group will be attacked for misconduct.

Reflection:

From an Atlas of the Different World:

By Adrienne Rich
I know you are reading this poem
late, before leaving your office
of the one intense yellow lamp-spot and the darkening window
in the lassitude of a building faded to quiet
long after rush-hour.
I know you are reading this poem
standing up in a bookstore far from the ocean
on a grey day of early spring, faint flakes driven
across the plains' enormous spaces around you.
I know you are reading this poem
in a room where too much has happened for you to bear
where the bedclothes lie in stagnant coils on the bed
and the open valise speaks of flight
but you cannot leave yet.
I know you are reading this poem
as the underground train loses momentum and before running
up the stairs
toward a new kind of love
your life has never allowed.
I know you are reading this poem by the light
of the television screen where soundless images jerk and slide
while you wait for the newscast from the intifada.
I know you are reading this poem in a waiting-room
of eyes met and unmeeting, of identity with strangers.
I know you are reading this poem by fluorescent light
in the boredom and fatigue of the young who are counted out,
count themselves out, at too early an age.
I know
you are reading this poem through your failing sight, the thick
lens enlarging these letters beyond all meaning yet you read on
because even the alphabet is precious.
I know you are reading this poem as you pace beside the stove
warming milk, a crying child on your shoulder, a book in your
hand
because life is short and you too are thirsty.
I know you are reading this poem which is not in your language
guessing at some words while others keep you reading

and I want to know which words they are.

I know you are reading this poem listening for something, torn
between bitterness and hope
turning back once again to the task you cannot refuse.
I know you are reading this poem because there is nothing else
left to read
there where you have landed, stripped as you are.

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LPNvATtE3vA&index=3&list=WL

Activity 1: Profiling Terms Activity (12 minutes)

Warn students ahead of time, stating that this activity will be about serial killers and
descriptive terms to analyze that said killer. If a student is very uncomfortable with this
activity, they will be able to leave and go to the library, however they will have to turn in
a makeup assignment, such as brainstorming their final project or a worksheet that goes

over the chapters covered.

Students will group into pairs by whoever is closest to them or by numbering off the
students. The students will then read over the terms and pick at least five terms that can
be used to describe King Leck. His serial killer tendencies show up on page 293-294. The
students need to use a quote for each term to support their claim.

Activity 2: Creating their own Serial Killer/ Villain and Victim Activity (25 minutes)

Students will then work individual and start working on their villain/ serial killer for a
part of their final project. Students will pick terms from the profiling page and start
creating said fictional character. After they have a main idea of what terms they are going

to use, they are going to create the perfect victim that goes along with their killer.
Remind students that this is a fictional creative writing assignment. They are going to
create a good versus evil story using their scenes and hero/ heroine from previous
activities started. Students will write how the hero found the villain and how the hero
saves the victim, like how Po and Katsa saves Bitterblue. It is not expected to be graphic

nor is it expected to go into great detail about these serial killer tendencies. It is expected

to simply use the terms mentioned while making sure the victim fits.
When it appears that everyone has decided on terms, students are going to start
brainstorming their fictional story by focusing on beginning, rising action, climax, falling
action, and the ending. It has to be at least five pages.

Closing: Exit Ticket (5 minutes)

Students will write on a piece of paper what terms they are planning to use for their story

and their overall map of their story.

Homework will be to continue working on their story.
