Objectives: Students will be able to:
 * 1) Analyze the settings and social status of different societies.

Procedure for Teachers: Before class, the teacher will make worksheets "Reflecting on Modern Settings, Social Classes, and Material Representations" for the homework assignment. A. Are the two settings more similar or more different than each other? B. What makes the people different from each other? C. If the settings are more similar to each other, why is it so hard for Ariel to switch settings? B. For the next choice, you will have to reflect on a personal experience. You are to write about a time you tried to cross into a social group or society in which you did not belong. Did anyone warn you not to cross over? If so what was the warning and who was the person who warned you? Were there any consequences for crossing over? If so what were they (The consequences can be good or bad) Did you successfully cross over? If not explain why? What was the setting like in the social group you tried to or succeeded in joining? How was this setting different from the setting that you are still or that you used to be in? 14. The teacher will tell the students that this assignment is due tomorrow.

 * 2) The teacher will tell the students to take out their papers which have the six themes that fairy tales reinforce about societal rules.
 * 3) The teacher will spend some time going over the themes just to refresh the memory of the students.
 * 4) Once finished, the teacher will explain with will be done today: Today we are going to look at the setting and social statuses of the two different societies: under water and land soceities. I will count you off by twos. Everyone with the number one will focus on finding information about the setting under water. Everyone with the number two will find information in the story about the Land
 * 5) setting. Be sure to include the way the palace looks, what people where to show royalty, what events people put on to show royalty, and any other information about the setting of the water and land society.
 * 6) The teacher will count off the students by twos.
 * 7) The teacher will write on the board the main things that the students are to look for in their assigned society: The way the palace looks, what people where to show royal statues, what events do people put on to show royal status, and any other things that are in the setting. The teacher will tell the students to take out a sheet of paper and start looking for things in their assigned settings. The teacher will allow the students to look TLM to find information about the settings.
 * 8) The teacher will remind the students that they should have read the first 12 pages of TLM by now. The teacher will also remind the students that they must have textual evidence to support what they write about the settings.
 * 9) As the students write their description of the settings, the teacher will walk around to see if the students are on track. If any students are having problems the teacher will refer the student to the page in which they can find the answer. Once enough time has passed, the teacher will stop the students and tell them to pair up.
 * 10) The teacher will tell each student to pair up with another student with a different number. The ones should pair with the twos
 * 11) The teacher will tell the students to compare and contrast the two settings. The teacher will tell the students that they have to take notes on the setting that they did not focus on. The teacher will tell the students that they can use the back of the paper that they wrote their assigned setting on. As the students talk to each other, the teacher will walk around to listen to the students' thinking process.
 * 12) Once enough time has passed, the teacher will call the class attention. The teacher will call on some students to stand up and share their comparisons of settings. The teacher will ask the following questions to lead the discussion: The teacher will also use this time to clear up any misunderstanding that the class had as a whole.
 * 1) After the students share, the teacher will give the following wrap up: As you all can see, these two setting are similar to each other. The only major things that are different from each other is one setting is under water and the other setting is on land. People use materials things in each setting to show their social status. People in each setting also have social rankings. It is obvious to see that the more we look at these two settings, the more they seem to be alike. However, even with the similarities, the one thing that divides Ariel from the Prince (her fish tail) is so minor yet so major. In all, minor aspects can keep you from moving to another setting. For homework, you will have the chance to tell your story about how settings influence your life.
 * 2) The teacher will tell them to first, place all work back into their assigned folders and second, second get ready to hear the homework assignment.
 * 3) The teacher will pass out a worksheet and explain the following: For homework tonight you have a choice. The first choice is watching a reality tv which involves wealthy people. For this assignment you will have to make a list of all the things the characters use in this show to show their wealth. You are then to reflect on how materials things are use to associate people with social status. In your reflection you are to answer the follow: Why do you think people really want to have materials things that they do not need? Why are certain material things are a sign a wealth? As a high school student, what material things characterize the popular students?

Overt Instruction: The teacher will first do a recap of yesterday to refresh the students' memory. The teacher will then explain to the students that they will be focusing on the two different settings found in TLM. The teacher will guide the students as to what they should be looking for by writing down things to look for on the board. As the students began to look for the things on the board, the teacher will walk around, look at the student's progress, and help those who need help. The teacher will pair the students up and while the students are paired up the teacher will just walk around to listen to the conversations. Here the students can help each other if need be. If the teacher notices that a lot of students are confused, the teacher will use the discussion time to straighten things out.

The teacher will be looking for comparisons between the water society and the land society. By writing the descriptions, the teacher is making sure that the students are having properly envisionments of both settings. The teacher will also be looking for examples of both settings taken from the text.
