Teachers know that a well-paced lesson plan is the backbone of an engaging and successful classroom. English and Language Arts teachers will find creative and thought-provoking lesson plans, worksheets, literature lesson plans, PowerPoints and much more that will hook their middle and high school students into becoming life-long learners. All lesson plans for teachers are based on: clear communication, research and structure, and on providing teachers and students with activities that are motivational, interactive and substantial. The comprehensive Language Arts and English Literature unit plans are based on the Common Core principles and the Backwards Design concept, with the goals and objectives set from the first moment of lesson planning. After that, I chose the activities, assignments, projects and assessments to meet those objectives.
Last fall, The Washington Post ran a piece on the first page about a drop in SAT reading scores in the metro-Washington, D.C. area. One of the reasons they cited was a deficiency in higher-thinking skills since the onset of state tests. Always a believer that if teachers Lesson Up and Teach Write (as well as Right, i.e. reading comprehension, writing, grammar, vocabulary and thinking skills,) their students will pass any test. Each lesson plan that I offer middle and high school English/Language Arts teachers addresses these skills.
