Lesson Plans drop me an email saying specifically which file you're looking for, and I'll send you a copy. The one that gets the most attention, which is the Rose for Emily plan, I've left up here, though. :) Sorry for the hassle if I can figure out a way to get a grant for all this stuff, I'll post it all back again. English 104 "Intro to Composition and Rhetoric" at A&M, where these were used, the curriculum stresses introducing students to rhetorical strategies, including classical forms of argument and debate. These lesson plans reflect this, but could be used in any basic writing course. How to Begin an Essay I use this handout in 104, but it would work well in a literature course too. English 203 "Intro to Literature" or "Composition Through Literature" this course is a composition course emphasizing research skills and learning proper quotation, citation, etc. But it does this using literary texts, so it's really fun to teach. The lesson plans below are some of my favorites. A Rose For Emily lesson plan this is a really engaging activity. After students have read Faulkner's short story, I bring in handouts of this sheet, as well as a version of it on transparency. I then have them do two things the first is to pick out the places where there has been some "yellow journalism" on my part or, things that we do not know based on the story. The second thing we do, after discussing the possibility that this story "could" happen this way, is have them pick sides (prosecution/defense) and "try" Emily for the murder of Homer Barron. When I have done this lesson, the entire class has been excited, and come up with interesting and innovative ways of looking at the story. They really dig into the "facts" of Faulkner's world.

Lesson Plans Censorship in the Classroom Censorship in the Classroom: Understanding Controversial Issues Overview It is important for young people to understand their individual rights and what they, as citizens, can do to protect these rights. In addition, young people need to understand the way in which bias and stereotyping are used by the media to influence popular opinion. In this lesson, students examine propaganda and media bias and explore a variety of banned and challenged books, researching the reasons these books have been censored. Following this research, students choose a side of the censorship issue and support their position through the development of an advertising campaign. From theory to practice Controversial texts are ideal pedagogical tools to foster debate and to guide the development of logical thinking skills and cooperative learning. Texts that teach students about ethnic, racial, and sexual diversity encourage understanding of human differences. By exploring controversial texts, students acquire the tools of rational thought by which they can approach, analyze, and debate controversial issues in a forum of mutual respect and understanding.

Note to the Teacher: This versatile lesson plan unit, which compares the theories of Darwin and Lamarck, is designed for MIDDLE SCHOOL, JUNIOR HIGH, OR HIGH SCHOOL students in EARTH SCIENCE, BIOLOGY, HISTORY, ETHNICS, GEOGRAPHY and/or ECONOMICS. Origin of the Species vs. Zoological Philosophy SUBTOPIC: Darwin and LamarckA "Bird-Rabbit" Controversy OBJECTIVES: The students will: 1) debate the theories of Darwin and Lamarck 2) construct an extinct "critter," or one on the endangered species list 3) use an imaginary organism to simulate the concept of predator vs. prey 4) determine the diet and colors of Darwin's Finches 5) design own species of organism Background Information After years of studying a variety of organisms, Charles Darwin, in 1859, wrote The Origin of Species , which was a popular success. The initial printing sold out on the first day of publication, but Darwin's theory eventually lost some of its original popularity. Although field naturalists preserved Darwin's emphasis on the role of geographical factors on evolution, many were tempted by the theory of Lamarckism. Jean Baptist de Lamarck was a French naturalist who published Zoological Philosophy in 1809. In his view organic beings constituted a ladder of life from simplest to complex animals, with humans at the top rung. Lamarck did little in the way of explaining the origin of this ladder, but he did offer an explanation for how organisms change over time, thus turning the ladder into what we might call an escalator of being.

It refers to changes in isolated patches of land as well as to changes in land bordering recognized deserts. Although there is much debate on the causes of the process as there is on its solution, most scientists agree that it is brought about by a mixture of both human and environmental factors. Changes in settlement patterns, increased population growth, drought , erosion, deforestation, overcultivation and overgrazing of land, are just some of the factors which contribute to it. Suggestion: Team up with your students' science teacher to do an intensive unit on the process.

In 1883, the young Willa Cather was plucked from her comfortable home in Virginia and dropped into the prairies of Nebraska, a both terrifying and exhilarating experience that became the force behind her extraordinary work. As depicted in the AMERICAN MASTERS show, Cather's novels serve as mirrors into the history and culture of pioneer life in late nineteenth century America. In this unit, students will learn to read literature with an eye toward understanding history and then create their own historical fiction. Immigrant students can also use the opportunity to examine and write about their own pioneering ways as they learn about new customs in a completely foreign culture.

Front page Lesson Plans Language Arts General Raging Debates As we near the end of the year, tempers are hot and everyone is stressed. As students complete final assignments and tests, you may be searching for a constructive classroom activity that doesn't require a high level of planning. Consider a debate! Tackle a current event or a legal battle and you're sure to start a conversation. Before you jump in though, consider these tips from some of our T2T contributors... Karen "Maybe you could just split the group and assign them roles to play. (On the topic of "Violence in Films") One group could be actors, the other a group of concerned parents. One group could be directors, the other teens who want tighter regs; one group could be industry execs, the other a group of movie critics. Or.........try any combination of the above. Once the groups have been assigned, you could just propose a resolution that you create. Then, the debate could start from there." - Wade "You might have them write out their thoughts from both points of view. In that way they have 1. thought of counter arguments and 2. they are ready when you randomly assign them a side to defend. I've done it with my 5th graders and it works out ok." -

To Guide Entry I teach remedial reading at Betsy Ross Arts Magnet Middle School which is a fully integrated city school with a strong drama department, and a dedicated English department. This year with the new superintendent, middle school reform is a priority issue. However, because Betsy Ross is an established magnet school it cannot share in the federal funds, which have been made available to start new magnet schools and to instigate middle school reform. So without the benefit of outside resources the faculty at Betsy Ross is being asked to devise new scheduling matrixes and to create new curriculums to more fully coordinate the arts classes with the academic classes. I plan to use the resources of the Yale New Haven Teachers Institute to create a folk tale curriculum that could be extended to involve the reading laboratory with the fifth and sixth grade English and drama departments. Such a curriculum would meet a zeal need. Towards this end the primary goals of this unit are to foster critical thinking skills, to sharpen writing skills, and to refine public speaking skills. These goals will be met by reading fairy tales, comparing fairy tales, writing fairy tales, and telling fairy tales.
