BRITISH LITERATURE

Middle Ages Part 1:
 
Two very active lessons.  The first is a jigsaw Group Work where the students read, share, and analyze Primary Documents from the Middle Ages on women, students, the clergy and more.  The second lesson is on Ballads - their enduring power to move and shape us and gives students a chance to sing along.

WORLD LITERATURE

A Unit on Peace & Empathy:

The Great Xmas Truce of 1914, "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote, Eddie Carmel - "The Jewish Giant", Bullies & Being Bullied, and Randall Jarrell's incredible poem, "The Truth" - class discussions all centered on the idea of building empathy for those around us.


HOW I TEACH

Reading Plays & Text Aloud in Class: 

Though some students may initially be reluctant oral readers - the active nature of having students do the reading in class is worth the nurturing and planning that it takes.  Ideas, examples, and strategies for having students read aloud are given.
