Weep Not, Child Lesson Plan

Character Search History

Kind of Activity:

Technology

Objective:

Students will be able to infer meaning from the text and draw on explicit and implicit meaning to define qualities of character.

Common Core Standards:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.3.e

Structure:

Students are going to select a character from the story whose Google search history they have access to.

Ask students to imagine that Ngotho, Mr. Howlands or Jacobo (or some other character in the story they'd like to explore) has a computer or smartphone and is capable, therefore, of Googling things to search for clarity in their world of confusion.

Ask them to imagine coming across the search history on that...
