Good job in following the template here for your Stage 1 results. Your long-term transfer statement about knowing how to write a five paragraph essay is a good application; if they can write an autobiographical narrative, then they can write a 5 paragraph essay following a similar structure. You are using this one essay to teach students how to write essays in general. That is a transferable skill.
Christina, your lesson has many goals to be achieved, yet you set it up in a very simple, focused way that makes it easy for the teacher to understand what the objective of this lesson is. I also like what you wrote for what you specifically want your students to understand which to "show" their stories, not tell them. This is a key element in the Common Core standards for writing. Instead of summarizing, students will be expected to provide textual evidence or personal experiences to validate their writing. Great lesson plan :).
Well done Christina. Your goals are very clear and concise. Although the amount of standards you are using looks daunting, they do correlate with your overall lesson. In looking at your stage 1 plan I see some areas that I can work on and improve in my own lesson.
I love Sandra Cisneros! I especially like your question for the students "What moments in my life make me who I am today?" This prompt should draw out some great reflections! One type I saw - think you're missing a word under the Acquisition section, first box "Students will know..."
