Flipped Classroom Model is the model that would be utilized for this lesson. Students would be given the material first in a classroom environment to assist with differentiated instruction. The powerpoint below discusses Flipped Learning and how it is effective.

Learning Objectives
Students will examine one of the main characters of their choice from "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote.
Students will correlate specific text references from their character analysis to connect with Capote's personal life and his writing.
For this activity I will utilize the practice activity of guided analysis along with the discovery activity of a case study on Truman Capote’s “A Christmas Memory”. The first part of the activity will involve a character analysis. Guided analysis activities in e-learning are important because they guide learners through the process of analyzing complex situations or material while weeding out pertinent information and gaining further understanding of the subject (Horton, 2012). The guided analysis of “A Christmas Memory” characters should initiate conversation and in-depth analysis of all the characters present thus giving students greater understanding behind the creation of those characters. Technology that will be incorporated into this activity will be a blog that will allow students to communicate and share ideas and resources that they have found useful in the character analysis. Next students will perform a case study by researching Truman Capote’s life and finding connections between his upbringing and “The Christmas Memory”. A discovery activity such as a case study is good for teaching multifaceted material and allow learners to observer, connect and analyze the material in a more abstract way (Horton, 2012). Students will be provided with a video about Capote to get them thinking about what they'd like to research about him. Students will be able to present their study through a paper, mind-map, PowerPoint or video presentation. These two types of \activities are useful in continuing the further understanding of the knowledge that the student has already acquired and is conducive to David Ausubel’s Theory of Learning. Ausubel's focus was on meaningful learning where a person obtained new information to previously learned content thus forming new connections while also staying with the learner well after the lesson (Hannum, 2005). Ausubel’s theory would then suggest that this lesson will last even beyond that of just reading “A Christmas Memory” because they benefit from the knowledge of the text by adding it to further material and understanding, making for a more substantial and meaningful lesson.
