The Odyssey:Writing Prompts Constructed Response CCSS Digital Activity
Add this to your Odyssey Unit. This is a very engaging and timely activity that deals with a piece of classic literature that is essential to the goals of the Common Core.

Cause and Effect Lesson Plus other Follow up Lessons
This packet includes everything you need to teach a great cause and effect lesson using the book Old Henry by Joan W. Blos. If you have not read this book, it's a great story about what happens when a neighbor does not take care of his house.
I found it in my school library. If your school does not have it, it's available to order from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. This lesson was used in a 4th grade class but comes with multiple resources that will allow you to use it in lower or higher

DBQ: The Pledge (Argument & Sources)
This is a resource I created during my first year as an AP Language and Composition teacher. Very similar to the DBQ (Document Based Questions) that students write in History class, this type of assignment is crucial to promoting close reading, text-supported arguments, and visual text.
This activity is designed to:
1) Help students become familiar with the wording of the exam and exam directions
2) Have students take a position on a controversial issue
3) Read visuals as text
4) Practice in-te

Mass Media and the American Revolution
This lesson was initially developed to help teach students about the ways in which mass media have evolved over time, but also about how many of the functions that the media serve today have remained the same for hundreds of years. In my experience, this lesson works very nicely as a gallery walk, but it is also possible to place students in small groups based on readiness or interest level, have each group examine only one document, and then take turns presenting their findings to the whole cla
