12 Unknown, Influential African Americans
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12th and Frederick Douglass was born on February 14th. Lincoln and Douglass were two great Americans who helped to shape and define this country, and, as a result, their birthdays were celebrated independently in circles and communities since the mid-to-late 1800’s. It is thought that Carter G. Woodson embraced the importance of the second week in February when he introduced “Negro History Week” to celebrate the invaluable contributions of African Americans.

It's foundational to embracing differences, building relationships, gaining a global perspective, conducting richer and deeper analysis, and communicating more effectively. This skill is about as "21st century" as it gets.” - EdutopiaComplete mini-lesson with activities for conducting an independe

Where I'm From Poetry--A Prezi and Handouts
Looking for a dynamic presentation that will guide your students through writing a "Where I'm From" poem? This Prezi is exactly what your classroom needs.

The Writing Process Prezi, NO PREP!
In all my years teaching English, it has become more and more apparent that students need to be told that writing is a process and each stage is equally important. Otherwise, students will simply draft a piece of text, read it over once if we’re lucky, and call it good. I have created for you a lesson that explicitly teaches students each stage of the writing process...and, because some find the topic exceedingly dull, I’ve given the lesson a horror genre slant to keep students highly engaged.
