Lesson Plans For Reading
As an instructor of English (reading, writing, lit, creative writing, etc.) and as an online course developer, I have found many valuable teacher resources for linguistic, literary, and rhetorical disciplines in particular and for education and teaching in general, and just as many more with lesson plans for reading, in particular. Some of these lesson plans for reading cover days and weeks and include peer work suggestions, interactive games and quizzes and maps, and dynamic and thorough strategies for cross-referencing studies.
For instance, I used THE TIME MACHINE one semester/quarter. After a few decent lesson plans for reading, I found this amazing site that enshrines the author and novel, practically, doing great justice to the writer, the work, and to students who are offered pre-reading, reading, and post-reading tasks and activities (as well as writing ideas/prompts). Here it is: The Time Machine High School Teacher’s Resource Page(s) - Http://www.sff.net/people/ james.van.pelt/wells/ timemachine.htm .
Another example regards Harper Lee’s classic. For lesson plans for reading TO KILL a MOCKINGBIRD, I started at EdHelper.com; continued with the fantastic chapter-by-chapter studies of vocabulary words with The Student Survival Guide found at this URL: http://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Belmont_HS/tkm/; and ended using so much of the many interactive lesson plans for reading found at SCORE, the site designed and run by Schools of California Online Resources for Educators.
For lesson plans for reading Achebe’s THINGS FALL APART, I found brilliant pre-reading historical, anthropological, and cartological exercises at such wonderful sites as http://www.sdcoe.k12.ca.us/score/things/thingstg.html. This site features a five-part cyber guide that lends itself to weeks and weeks of pre-, during-, and post-reading work.
And for lesson plans for reading, pre-reading, interim reading, and post-reading tasks, experiments, peer-work, and quizzes and tests, I found such sites as those sponsored, designed, and maintained by educators at all levels—at Proteacher.net; Teachers.net; TeacherOz.com; Webenglishteacher.com; sheboyganfalls.k12.wi.us/ staff/dehogue/AP/teachers/main.htm; readwritethink.org; teachersfirst.com; Awesomelibrary.org; mrscassel.com; and Teachnet.com to be imperative for fresh and effective teaching approaches.
One of the obvious boons of the worldwide web is the facility of accessing quality lesson plans for reading, writing, and any other discipline. Usually designed, written, and submitted by fellow instructors, these materials lend themselves to professional development, and (again obviously) contribute to the enhancement of classroom (or virtual classroom) learning of concepts, strategies, methodologies, and skills. I hope you have found here something worth pursuing in your search for the fresh and engaging and effective!
