Teachers Lesson Plans
Teaching is one of the most demanding jobs we can do. We have to create, re-create, be reflexive, be comprehensive, abide by regulations and standards, be interesting and effective, and perform multiple tasks when developing our teachers’ lesson plans that ensure we are staying fresh and creative with each unit and each repetition of each unit. I am sure there are many more duties, responsibilities and expectations that come with teaching and with crafting our teachers’ lesson plans, quizzes, and tests, but I will digress…as we teachers know the details. What we need more of is not actual commiseration but tools that show commiserative agreement. That is, what we need more of is collective exchange of our original teachers’ lesson plans.
In my online studies and practice, I have found such collectives—teacher communities and forums where instructors at all levels offer free teachers’ lesson plans, and where we can exchange the same.
For example, one of the best sites I have found for teachers’ lesson plans for English Composition and Literature is Erica Cassel’s “Helpful Handouts for Students and Teachers.” This site, or these pages, include downloadable writing, reading, and writing about reading materials—on everything from writing research papers to poetry and other literary terms to analysis of The Odyssey and Romeo and Juliet and To Kill a Mockingbird.
More absolutely stunning English teachers’ lesson plans are found on Carla Beard’s Web English Teacher—an exhaustive and comprehensive site that includes thousands of teachers’ lesson plans in multiple and various subcategories, including Shakespeare, Media and Literacy, Poetry, Study Guides, exquisite ideas or actual literature lesson plans, and much, much more.
And one of the most impressive and effective of sites with English teachers’ lesson plans is at the S.C.O.R.E. site: comprehensive and interactive Language Arts CyberGuides for units for k-12 include such teachers’ lesson plans as those for students reading The Crucible (students visit real “witch” memorial sites and participate in a role-playing exercise wherein they are the accused); To Kill a Mockingbird (students prepare foods and pay visits to their community in the deep South); and Things Fall Apart (students work with colonial maps and modern maps, studying the territorial changes, for example).
So many other sites exist for teachers’ lesson plans—including the databases for teacher lesson exchange at Teachers.net and TeachersFirst—that rather than include them all here, I offer the above, to keep you going for months to come. Then, I will wish you the best of research and teaching in the future.
