The Devil and Tom Walker Trading Game - Romanticism

Use this interactive lesson to get your students talking to each other, interacting with the story, and writing a summary response. Grab their interest with an interactive trading game where students negotiate with classmates to trade for high value life items. Tie the game to Washington Irving's "The Devil and Tom Walker" and end the lesson with students writing a very personal summary response to the story and the game. This very relevant hook and engage will motivate your non-participatory students, encourage your non-talkers, and get everyone writing about something that matters to them. Use with your Romanticism Unit. This lesson does take about an hour to prepare the trading cards.
