Lesson Plan: What Happens Next with Vango?
# of Days
Prior
Knowledge
Students have read the Book Vango Between Earth and Sky and are familiar
with the content of the book. They have already studied various characters
personalities and development in the text; they have already begun thinking
about how the multiple characters add perspective upon Vangos identity.
Students have some understanding with literary elements characterization.
Students have already studied reader response theory. Theyve worked with
argumentative writing before.
Lesson
Objective(s)
Students take the role of author and director of Vango by furthering the story
thats already established with their own addition of what happens next.
Students engage with multiple characters (including Vango) using what they
already know about each character (their personality, motives, experiences,
ect.) cited with textual evidence to an argumentative piece that they believe
would likely have happened next in the story. In small groups creatively
engage in a format of their choice; such as a written-epilogue, a scripted skit,
a sneak-peak trailer of movie sequel, an essay, a poem, or a song. Students
will write a short authors statement afterwards to justify their choices for
their work, and how they further answer the question who is Vango by adding
meaning to his identity. Students interpretations of Vango and their choices of
how it would perpetuate reflects the reader response theory lens which they
are engaging the text with.
