Lesson Plans

Name Description
Semicolons and Swift: Analyzing Punctuation and Meaning

In this lesson, students identify and categorize different ways Jonathan Swift and those who have edited his text since its initial publication used semicolons in the essay "A Modest Proposal." They compare these uses with rules for semicolon use as indicated in online guides, theorizing about uses that do not follow the rules. Following this analysis and theorizing, students use what they learn about punctuation and its influence on meaning to write insightfully about their findings, using semicolons as they do so.

Native American Myth Writing - Creating Our Own Creation Stories

In this third and final lesson of the Native American Myth Unit, the students will use what they learned in the first two lessons to create original myths. They will use vivid, sensory language, well-structured event sequences, and standard English conventions as they go through the various stages of drafting, editing, and publishing.

Teaching Idea

Name Description
Analyzing Grammar Pet Peeves

This teaching idea is designed to help students analyze grammar pet peeves. Students begin by thinking about their own grammar pet peeves and then read a "Dear Abby" column in which she lists several grammar pet peeves of her own. Students become aware that attitudes about race, social class, moral and ethical character and 'proper' language use are intertwined and that rants such as this one reveal those attitudes. Finally, students discuss the pet peeves as a class while gaining an understanding that issues of race, class, combined with audience expectations, help to determine what is considered 'proper' language use.
