Description
Learning stations are the perfect way to review the ideas and structure of a short story. With a little preparation and careful instructions, students can rotate through several text based activities with simply a “rotate” from the teacher every 9-10 minutes.
You get 9 literacy stations based on O'Henry's "The Gift of the Magi" . The stations include engaging lessons about characterization, plot, tone, allegory, textual analysis, author's intrusion,graphic organizer, irony, biblical allusion, archetypal symbolism, and a tiny Socratic Seminar.
Using stations with older students creates interest and adds engagement to any lesson. A student that was previously listless will sit up and take notice when asked to work as a team to accomplish several tasks in a timely manner. The stations are fast moving and usually produce a product. Upper-level students enjoy the fast pace and high interest of station work. This activity takes a little planning, but when in the process the educational component becomes a student-driven learning experience.
Learning stations require a little preparation. Read the station instructions for the necessary supplies: markers, construction paper, computer paper, scissors, or tape. Each one varies. If a station requires extra items I will note it with an asterisk at the bottom of the page.
