Please post your resources, lesson plans and more below :)
This is a story/lesson that you can use to teach students how to annontate a text, answer an open response, and score a partner's open response. You could also use this story to teach the long composition. (from last year's Boot Camp) Letters is based out of the book Boricuas Anthology and uses the story "Letter to a Child Like Me". You can expand this lesson to include research. I used it to teach basic writing, organization, and self expression. Also, I added an oral presentation component. We read a story and its theme was conflict. In order to write a paper about this theme that used examples and details from the story, first we had to understand what conflict was. I used this interactive power point to teach the concept of conflict and understand the difference between internal and external conflict.

 * Below is a lesson plan I used for Term 3 in my Freshman Humanities classes. For the whole term we focused on poetry but covered it through different themes. I included some hand outs and worksheets. **

= Hello Peers! = = Below is the link to a program called Glogster. This website allows students to expand their abilities in the multimedia realm. A Glogster is a combination of a poster, power point and prezi. It might seem challenging, but it is infact easy for them to use seeing as how savy they are with internet programs. If you wish, you can see me and I can offer a 5 minute tutorial. This year I required my freshmen create Glogsters as their multimedia component to their research papers. They can easily be inserted onto their wikipages as you can see below:= [|Glogsters]
