A Taste of Blackberries Lesson Plans

Chapter One

We will be using what we know of characters and Venn diagrams to compare and contrast the narrator and Jamie. We will produce Venn diagrams (prewriting) and draft short (one page) compare and contrast paragraphsabout the two characters.

Chapter Two

Expanding on our Venn diagrams and compare and contrast paragraphs, we will draw up a character web of Jamie to discuss (in depth) what we know about his traits, point of view, actions, and motivations for his actions. We will use this information to write group essays pondering the question: “Why did Jamie and the narrator hitchhiked?”

Chapter Three

Reinforcing our work with comparison and contrast, we will use information from web links to make comparisions of Japanese bbeetles and bees.

  1. I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  2. Author, thank you very much. If you please, make the font on the blog slightly larger. And then the eyes already hurt.
