Learning Outcome:By the end of the lesson, 8th-grade students will demonstrate improved reading comprehension skills by analyzing characters, identifying key plot
elements, and making inferences based on textual evidence from the excerpt of "The Secret Garden." Through the completion of the character analysis worksheet, students
will be able to describe character traits, motivations, and relationships, as well as analyze character development and significance within the context of the passage.
Additionally, students will engage in text-based discussions, providing evidence from the passage to support their interpretations and deepen their understanding of literary
elements and themes.

5. Text-based discussion questions
Duration: 50 minutes
Lesson Plan:
1. Introduction (5 minutes):
Begin by discussing the importance of reading comprehension at an advanced level. Explain how understanding characters, plot elements, and making inferences
enriches their reading experience and critical thinking skills.
Introduce the objectives of the lesson: to analyze characters, identify key plot elements, and make inferences based on textual evidence.
6. Closure (5 minutes):
Summarize the key points of the lesson: understanding characters, identifying plot elements, and making inferences enhance our comprehension and critical
thinking skills.

Example Response:
Character's Name: Mary Lennox
Traits:
At the beginning of the passage, Mary is described as sour-faced, healthy, and self-centered. She dislikes everyone and is disliked by others. However, as the
passage progresses, Mary's disposition softens, and she becomes more caring and compassionate, especially towards Dickon and Colin.
Motivations:
Mary's motivation stems from her loneliness and boredom upon arriving at Misselthwaite Manor. She is drawn to the secret garden as a place of solace and escape
from her dreary surroundings. Her desire to bring the garden back to life reflects her newfound sense of purpose and connection with nature.
Development:
Throughout the passage, Mary undergoes significant development as she transitions from a sour and self-centered child to a caring and compassionate friend. Her
interactions with Dickon and Colin, as well as her efforts to restore the garden, contribute to her personal growth and emotional transformation.
Relationships:
Mary forms close relationships with Dickon and Colin, who play crucial roles in her journey of self-discovery. Dickon's deep connection with nature and Colin's
vulnerability help Mary recognize the beauty and healing power of friendship. These relationships enable Mary to overcome her loneliness and find happiness in
the company of others.
Significance:
Mary is the protagonist of the passage, driving the plot forward through her exploration of the secret garden and her interactions with other characters. Her
transformation from a lonely and unhappy child to a joyful and compassionate friend illustrates the central themes of renewal, friendship, and the transformative
power of nature.
