Two No-Prep Lesson Plans or Sub Plans for "The Pedestrian," by Ray Bradbury
If Ray Bradbury isn't the most frequently taught author in ELA classes, he's high on the list. So why stop with just one of his short stories? Teach "The Pedestrian" with his more famous work, "The Veldt," for an engaging two-day lesson plan. Or, if you prefer, pair "The Pedestrian" with Kurt Vonnegut's famous text, "Harrison Bergeron," for an equally exciting study.Whatever you decide, these free, no-prep lesson plans provide the guidance and questions your students need for an in-depth analysi

No-Prep Lesson Plan: Pair Pixar's "Inside Out" with "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros
A great short story like "Eleven" by Sandra Cisneros deserves an equally great pairing; that's why I've created this no-prep lesson plan that pairs Cisneros' text with Pixar's Inside Out. Or, if you prefer, you can use the second (free) lesson plan to teach a point-of-view primer based on "Eleven" and supported by two great videos from TED-Ed and PBS.

Two No-Prep Lesson Plans or Sub Plans for "The Bet" by Anton Chekhov
It can be hard to get students engaged with a text like Anton Chekhov's "The Bet," which is over 130 years old. That's why I paired it with a Mr. Beast video. If you'd rather, you can pair it with the Twilight Zone episode titled "The Silence," or you can do a good old-fashioned close reading. There are lots of options when working with a story like "The Bet," and with these two no-prep lesson plans or sub plans, Chekhov's classic is easy to incorporate into your classroom.This freebie includes

No-Prep Lesson Plans for Bradbury's Civil War Story, "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh"
Ray Bradbury is best known for his science fiction literature, but his work isn't relegated to that genre alone. His historical fiction short story, "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh," is a great example of his flexibility, and it makes a perfect companion text for more famous literature on the topic like Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage or Ambrose Bierce's story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which was actually adapted into a Twilight Zone episode.This freebie includes two no-prep lesson pl

Two No-Prep Lesson Plans for "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" by James Thurber

Two No-Prep Lesson Plans or Sub Plans for "The Monkey's Paw," by W. W. Jacobs
W. W. Jacobs' scary short story, "The Monkey's Paw," is guaranteed to engage your students. This frightening tale about fate makes a perfect Halloween lesson for your ELA class. It also pairs perfectly with other famous texts; Edgar Allan Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher" is my favorite pairing—with the similarly ominous door-knocking at the end of the story and the overlapping themes of family, isolation, and more—but it works well with Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery" or Roald Dahl's "Lamb

It also requires students to respond to important excerpts from the text prompting short-answer responses. It's a great interactive way to keep students engaged with the text throughout the reading process.
