While looking for an example of the Carver story "The Bath", which "A Small, Good Thing" is evidently based, I found this lesson plan. I looked through it a wee bit.
How do you guys feel about using lesson plans like this? Is this an ineffective teacher cop-out, or a way to structure some ideas? This hasn't really come up in class--but the Beach books we've been reading have pretty detailed lesson plans.
See ya!

ReplyDeleteI posted the link with my above post, but I don't know where it went, so here it is.
Thanks for highlighting this ReadWriteThink lesson. I see you are also looking the NCTE text on Carver by Susanne Rubenstein. She was also the author of the lesson. If you are interested in learning more about ReadWriteThink, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in ReadWriteThink, I have seen some really wonderful things on the site. We are in Grad School working toward Secondary English Teaching degrees and certification. Any information that would help us be better teachers is always appreciated!
