  Case: Did the student get it?
A 9th grade teacher planned a great lesson. She was excited about teaching her favorite author and era, Shakespeare. However, the students had little to no exposure to the author and became a bit overwhelmed with the teacher's approach. Parents called the school administrator and complained that the teacher was not preparing the students for real-world reading and writing. What happens when the teacher prepares a great lesson and feels the wrong kids showed up?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I feel parents sometimes but in a little to much, what is real world reading? Shakespeare is our history and if we were to teach real world reading that teacher would have had the administrator called, because the real world is so much worse than Shakespeare. The teacher might have needed to introduce the time of Shakespeare and his writings first. I am not sure what her lesson plans had in them, but depending on when the phone calls started coming in she could adjust her plans to include research for the students to do to build that background knowledge.
