Need some new, creative ideas to help you motivate your students?

You came to the right place.


This page will provide you with sample lesson plans that you can feel free to utilize in your elementary classroom. The focus of these lessons is to incorporate critical literacy into your daily language arts curriculum. Thanks to the wonderful Scholastic website I have been able to search and explore a multitude of reading and writing lessons for a variety of elementary grades[6]. I found these specific ones to be especially interesting. Each one can be easily modified and extended in any way you see fit. Please visit my feedback page if you have any questions or comments.

The following links will take you to the corresponding lesson plan sub-pages:

The following link will direct you to the Cultural Connections and Writing for Change Unit Plan page. This unit plan consists of 5 lessons and it is a wonderful resource for implementing a thorough introduction to multiculturalism and critical literacy to your elementary classroom. Please take a look [7]. (This plan was accessed from ReadWriteThink.org.)
