Dick and Carey systems approach model

Instructional models can vary widely. While some may focus on how to make the lesson plans and others focus on the delivery of the content itself, the Dick and Carey instructional design model (*also known as the Systems Approach Model*) is one of the former. Despite the seemingly complicated diagrams that pop up when searching for an image (see below), the steps are often only connected as far as what they do to help you figure out what to teach and how to teach it. All ten steps are connected, and some influence others indirectly while they may influence others directly.[1]

[1]

When looking at the Dick and Carey system, they list out 9 stages that make up the instruction model and are as follows:

1. Stage 1 - Instructional Goals
	1. Develop the ability to identify what your students need to learn in your class
2. Stage 2 - Instructional Analysis
	1. Understand what type of skills the students in your class will need to possess to properly comprehend the subject matter
3. Stage 3 - Entry Behaviors and Learner Characteristics
	1. Assessing the skills of the students and which ones are specifically needed for the lesson you are working on
4. Stage 4 - Performance Objectives
	1. For you lesson, you need to develop specific goals and objectives that you want to achieve with your class to measure their performance
5. Stage 5 - Criterion-Referenced Test Items
	1. Creating a test that will effectively cover all the material you have taught is key to reflecting how well the students learned and retained data
6. Stage 6 - Instructional Strategy
	1. Before you begin teaching the lesson, you need to outline a strategy on how you will deliver content and add any activities that you feel will help aid in learning from your students
7. Stage 7 - Instructional Materials
	1. Evaluate and verify that you have all needed materials to teach your lesson so you are prepared and use your time with your students efficiently
8. Stage 8 - Formative Evaluation
	1. Creating an evaluation method so you can monitor how well students took to your lesson will help you revise it to be more effective going forward
9. Stage 9 - Summative Evaluation
	1. Based on the results of your evaluations, you make revisions to your lesson and strategy for your next class

November 9 (song)

"**November 9**" is an original song performed by Griffin Peterson.

The song was specifically written for the book November 9.

## Lyrics

You got scars, so do I

If I could, I take them all and make them mine

But for now, I play the part

And let you in just far enough for this to start

For this to start

I remember everything, when the fire of your heart begin to sting

I couldn't tell you all my sins

Much too scared of what the truth might bring

I've been lying from the start, you know it's tearing me apart

Would you really want the whole truth?

When I finally tell it all, will it be a wrecking ball?

Or a bitter taste you try to hide as smooth

I know I took it all away

So let me give it all back to you

You, oh, you, you

Give it all, give it all back to you

You read the truth, I tell no lies

Every page outlined with you ends with goodbye

I'm losing sleep, cause I write all night

Always end up with the words November 9, oh

I've been lying from the start, you know it's tearing me apart

Would you really want the whole truth?

When I finally tell it all, will it be a wrecking ball?

Or a bitter taste you try to hide as smooth

I know I took it all away

So let me give it all back to you

You, oh, you, you

Give it all, give it all back to you

Your heart is on fire and my soul's a flame

But the damage left behind us is not the same

So let me give it all back to you, you, you, you

Give it all, give it all back to you

You, you, oh, you, you

Give it all, give it all back to you

Atlas Corrigan

**Atlas Corrigan** is Lily Bloom's childhood friend, first boyfriend, and first love.

In the upcoming film adaptation, *It Ends With Us*, Atlas is portrayed by Brandon Sklenar.

## Biography

Atlas was a homeless 17-year-old when he and Lily met. The two had an unofficial relationship and Atlas later joined the military. Lily meets Atlas again as a chef in Bib's restaurant: It is known that he is the owner and a talented chef at Bib's Restaurant. A very successful restaurant renowned for its food and positive reviews. He deeply cares about Lily, referring to her as his favorite person throughout the book. At the ending of 'It Ends With Us', Atlas begins a relationship with Lily.

In the first book, not much is said about Atlas' side of the story, only what is told by Lily. However 'It Starts With Us' was released in October 2022 which provided more information about him. He grew up in a cold, abusive home with his mother and stepfather, and no relationship whatsoever with his father. He was kicked out of their house; becoming homeless once his mother found out she was pregnant with her second child; coming very cold and distant to the latter as well.

## Personality traits

Atlas seems like an INFP (in mbti: introversion, intuition, feeling, perception)

He is shown to have a very caring nature due to the fact that Atlas pays a lot of close attention to Lily, especially in concern for her wellbeing, an example of this is when he takes her to the hospital despite her efforts not to go and insists on a proper check-up. He also looked after her when she has nowhere to go by taking her to his house when it is not safe for her to stay with Ryle Kincaid.

On the other hand, he can be quite volatile and rash at times, this is shown when he makes quite violent threats to Ryle the second time Ryle is at BIB's. The second time, Atlas is also prepared to enter his house to fight him on behalf of Lily, showing his more angry nature. It is to be noted that most of his rash actions come as a result of him wanting to protect Lily as he appears cool-headed.

Atlas is also very loyal, he has always wanted Lily romantically and wants a good life for her, this leads to him building up a positive reputation for himself and an environment he seems fit to take Lily in. He cares for Lily a lot and is prepared to fight whenever he thinks she is in harm's way.

## Physical appearance

Atlas' physical attributes are described in little detail leaving an unconcise image of him.

However, it is known that Atlas has beautiful blue eyes and brown hair (possibly light brown since Lily said that his hair was dirty and that's why it was darker). When Lily and Atlas meet he is pretty skinny (since he was homeless) but still sinewy and said to have worn the same clothes every day. After they meet again she comments that he is way thicker, bigger, and stronger. Allysa describes him as a very handsome man and compares him to a Greek God.
