I wasthoroughly impressed with how much thought students put into the assignment. I was worried that theywouldn’t understand what the assignment’s objectives were; however, they were beyond my expectations. Iwas even tearing up a bit as I was reading what my students wrote. It was definitely a proud teachermoment for this year. I did realize after introducing it to two classes that students could understand theconcept without a handout, much like we had in the ENG 725 class. I had them brainstorm a list of placesthat were important to them, saying only that they had to have visited them before. Then I showed themseveral Deep Map examples, and asked them to begin drawing a map of the places of importance to them.Everyone understood the assignment and worked diligently on it. I did allow them a week to complete boththeir Deep Map and their legend and that was exactly the right amount of time. (Student examples of DeepMaps, see appendix E).One thing that I do wish I could have been able to do was implement the unit solely after Spring Break, I amhoping that students will still be in the mindset of “place” after our break. I also wish that I was able to havehad the first full week in March as part of my unit, but in Missouri you can’t predict the weather, and we hadsnow days, which impacted what I could do the last week of the quarter.The rest of my reflection will be added upon completion of the unit.

Each day, you will record your classactivities in your journals or on a separate sheet of paper, as well as maintain a record of Tom’sobservations about the people around him and his surroundings. In additional, you will record your personalobservations/reflections about the novel and anything that inspires you.Each journal entry should be organized by Date.

Brittny CampbellPlace Conscious Unit Plan for “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”13Sample Journal Entry for The Diary of Anne FrankDATE: March 5, 2014Classwork:Describe Anne Frank:Anne is a middle-school aged girl. Her family is of Jewish heritage. She has one older sister, Margot. Sheand her family moved into an annex during the Holocaust to escape being taken to a Nazi ConcentrationCamp.Would you have gone into Hiding?I don’t think that I would have had the guts to go into hiding myself. I think I would have taken my chancesand just waited to see what happened. Unless my parents wanted to go into hiding, then I would have donewhatever they wanted me to do so that I could stay with them.Observations about the Text:Anne’s Observations about people:Anne notes how distant Peter is, really all of the Van Daans. She notes that Mr. and Mrs. Van Daan fight alot, even in front of the Franks. She also describes how Margot isn’t the same since moving into the annexand that her mother and father also seem stressed and/or worried.Anne’s Observations about her surroundings:Anne is happy to have her own space and room, even if it is small. She notes that the windows are blackedout in the annex. She is unhappy that she doesn’t get to see her friends or roam about much during theday. She seems to be a free-spirit and needs room to get up and move, and she doesn’t have that in theannex. She notes that she can sometimes hear the people downstairs, and even their radio.Personal Observation/Reflection:I think that Anne and her family were very brave to have gone into hiding, and in such a small space. I don’tthink that I would be able to live in a place where the windows are blacked out all day; I need sunshine! Ifeel like something romantic is going to happen between Peter and Anne since they are so close in age andin such close quarters for such a long time (at least I hope it’s a long time!). Although, I could be wrong,maybe they will just be best friends.
