No Country for Old Men Day to Day Lesson Plan (4 Weeks)
No Country for Old Men is a great novel for high school students. It is an exceptionally easy read--and exceptionally fun to read!!!--but with Sheriff Bell as the unlikely protagonist the novel's themes become highly complex. This alone generates thoughtful and dynamic discussion throughout the reading and lends itself to connections being made in any direction beyond the text. Below is an example of the types of connections that can be made. Teach this novel and you will be rewarded!Poetry anal

Things Fall Apart Day to Day Lesson Plan (3 Weeks)
The Things Fall Apart lesson plan is a three-week, day-to-day plan. Students during the reading of Things Fall Apart analyze Yeats' "The Second Coming," an inherently difficult poem, especially for high school students. The poem, however, while initially troublesome, generates illuminating dialogue and often impassioned debate in the classroom. The accompanying questions help students enter the poem's more receptive first third and prepares them for a more grounded interpretation of its seeming

My students spend a week discussing and writing business letters. In the first assignment, they are asked to write a letter to a company, complaining about a product or service. When students finish, they switch letters with a partner and have to answer their partner's letter, as if they work at that company. Great for an English or a business class.

King Lear Day to Day Lesson Plan (4 Weeks)
The King Lear lesson plan is a four-week, day-to-day plan. King Lear is generally considered a 12th grade honor's or AP text, in part because of its daunting complexity. Indeed, many students struggle with the reading, especially in the play's first half. This is not to say that students don't thoroughly enjoy Shakespeare's awesome masterpiece. My students, year after year, find the challenge of reading it exciting, rewarding, even strangely empowering, but they also more often than not find th

Blood Meridian (Homework Plan)
I teach Blood Meridian in my 12th grade Advanced Placement class. It is the last novel I teach before the May test because it is so incredibly rich in imagery and so awesomely sophisticated in its language. It is truly symphonic. It is also, in my opinion, the greatest novel of the 20th century. So students are engaged with a titan of literature just before they must re-engage with some lesser titans on the AP test (I'm not saying McCarthy is the titan, only his magnificent novel.
