Introduction I am not in the classroom so I will be “teaching” my lessons at the high school where I did my field experience observation. This high school is Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High located in Dade county. The class I will be teaching consists of twelfth-grade British Literature honor students. The classroom contains both 11 girls and boys and there are two students who are not English proficient; they operate at a B-proficiency level. My unit will be focused around the short story, The Horse Dealer’s Daughter by D.H. Lawrence. I will be using this extraordinary piece of literature to aid the students in analyzing literature in the years to come. My three lessons will be based off of this short story. I will use this short story to help the students understand and define dynamic characters, to assist them in finding sensory imagery, symbols, and metaphors that speak to the creation of the setting, and to finally aid them in discussing ideology and how it relates to the modern day. The Horse Dealer’s Daughter is relevant to the students’ lives because it is a story that uses a myriad of sensory imagery and metaphors to describe the setting and tone. My students will be able to use these skills when they are asked to identify sensory imagery in novels in the future. My students will also be able to
