What educators are saying
Great Resource! I had to create a lesson plan for a college class that used Almanac. I had students use the Poor Richard's Almanac to look at Aphorisms. Don't worry, I gave you credit!
Description
From Electric English...
This is a simple but effective assignment that gets the students thinking about the life of Benjamin Franklin in a new way. Why? Because it asks them to connect his life and ideas to their own lives and ideas. The kids always enjoy it, and they do not even realize they are engaging in deeper levels of thinking and learning.
