• Prior to the lesson, set the classroom up in four stations.

For larger classes, set up two sets of stations or consider adding a fifth station for students to complete the homework task: completing the ethos and pathos entry on their unit graphic organizer (scribed into their reading response journal in Lesson 4) for “Chapter 14.”
