Thematic Unit: Immigration & The American Dream | Lit. & Synthesis Essay Writing
Want your students to feel more empathy for people whose lives are not like their own? Even though they might know that opening the “golden door” for those “huddled masses yearning to breathe free” is a foundational value of this country, many students don’t have first-hand experience with immigration. Seeing the stories in the news or knowing some facts and figures won’t help them relate to the human beings who are working so hard to make it here and won’t challenge them to care about what hap

Brett Ramseyer’s Creative Writing Program - Full year - Lesson Plans
This entire year’s writing program challenges and energizes students and teacher’s alike. There are many stand alone lessons (more so in semester 1) and many longer projects (more so in semester 2) that culminate in students creating and then selling their own published writing. There are many plans that are used for multiple days and those extensions of time are usually clearly noted. This is the most enjoyable class I ever created that forges students into a family by the end of the year. The

Black History Month or Women's History Month Research Project
Help your students understand the power of black girl magic in this engaging research project. Even better is that students are able to showcase their different skills and abilities in either digital or non-digital form. This can be used in place of a formal informative essay but still teaches students how to craft and present well- curated information to a reader.

80. Beginning the Book Project – 3 day blitz
This lesson set is not for the faint of heart because it requires tremendous follow-through from teacher and students because it begins the process of each and every student in the class, writing, editing, designing, publishing and selling their own book by the end of the year. I use it as my semester 2 main driving focus that the 1st semester has built the skills and writing portfolio to fill.

89. Studying Structure – Begin Braided Structure
This lesson has students submit their theme structure writing and then we immediately begin working on braided structure, a much more complex animal. I recommend you keep students to a two strand braid, but if you feel saucy go for 3 or 4 (don’t feel saucy this is difficult).
