I have taught for 18 years and have used Lesson Planet many times when I have had a dry spell with creativity. I have used lesson plans in Spelling, Reading, and beginning of the year ideas. This is the first time I have every paid for a professional service, and I plan to renew my subscription. Thank you for this resource.

Students read a fictional story set during the Civil War and identify how oral history and folklore contribute to the richness of U.S. history, African American history, and baseball history.
Third graders identify 10 pre-selected words as various parts of a story (setting, character, problem, solution, ending). They create their own story using identified words to make a prediction about what might happen in a story with these words.
Students review what makes up a story- setting, characters, plot, conflict, resolution and practice their creative writing skills. They then practice presentation techniques.
Young scholars read the story "The Adventure of the Negative Clue" and design an Alice World for the story's setting. For this reading analysis lesson, students read the story and complete a story map. Young scholars use the Alice program to design scenes for the story.
Young scholars create a comic strip based on a math concept they are trying to portray. In this comic strip lesson plan, students go over other comics, discuss fiction and non fiction in comics, and create their own.
Second graders demonstrate that they are cooperative learners, can solve problems, make decisions and, apply technology to the task through use of the Madeline and the Magnificent Puppet Show
First graders listen to the story, "Grandma's Bill" and describe story settings and events. They relate them to their own experiences and that of others. They then write captions and sentences recognizing whether or not they make sense.
High schoolers assess their understanding of Twelve Angry Men. They create flashcards for vocabulary terms, summarize one of the acts, construct a diorama and complete character wheels. They choose from other activities including creating their own mini-play, board game, and writing a two-page story set in the past.
Encourage your class to use sensory details in their writing with this activity! This worksheet provides a short passage about dancing princesses and asks young writers to identify sensory details, develop a setting for a folktale, and write a description of the setting. It includes two graphic organizers to help class members categorize details and plan out the setting they are going to describe.
Readers reflect on enjoyable stories they know, brainstorm criteria that make a story "good," analyze a New York Times article about innovative children's performances, re-envision classics on their own, and peer edit drafts. Use this as enrichment for gifted readers who readily grasp the vocabulary, but for whom the content (fairy tales, children's performances) is still relevant. Plan to spend time to make the material accessible. A thorough, thoughtful resource.
