Twelve Angry Men Daily Lesson Activity Bundle
This 60-page unit contains 23 individual daily lesson activities reviewing Reginal Rose’s entire play, Twelve Angry Men. Most assignments group specific pages by scene within each act; so the class can read several pages and then complete an assignment.

Symbolism Worksheet
My students were really struggling with the concept of Symbolism in large texts. I designed a worksheet and a unit specifically at helping them understand symbols and abstract vs. concrete language. This worksheet comes with 6 short paragraphs with a common symbol. Students use this worksheet to help sharpen their understanding. This is only a beginning step in the scaffolding process to understanding symbolism. I teach 10th grade, but many of my students are low level. I could see this being us

Washington Irving: "The Devil and Tom Walker" Assessment with Answer Key
From Electric English...
This is a three-part assessment. The first is simply true and false questions; the second is multiple choice; while, as a rule, I try to avoid this type of simplified question and answer, it is still good to give the students practice.... After all, they will see these types of questions on standardized tests. The third section asks students to make inferences from their reading, from Irving's life experiences, and from their class discussions, then to apply that knowled

Common Core Close Reading (The High School Annotation Survival Guide)

My annotation strategy teaches students to record the gist of each paragraph or chunk of text on the right and talk back to the text using symbols on the left. For the gist, students first must determine the type of noun the chunk of text is about. They then decide what is being said about the noun.

Moral Logic of Survivor Guilt
Introduce the concept of rhetorical appeal! Marginal boxes allude to the concepts of Ethos, Pathos and Logos by asking students why Nancy Sherman chooses to use specific supports for her claim. For example, to explain that survival guilt is an indication of a good person, Sherman calls upon three philosophers. Honors classes easily discuss this in relation to ethos and building credibility for the argument, a standard English course would look at this as a call to experts. Along with this, stud
