Resources used throughout the Unit:
The Oxford English Dictionary Online is an amazing tool for literary use. Many of the words and language styles used in 17th, 18th, and 19th century literature are difficult for students to comprehend because of changes in word meanings and usage. Using the OED, students can grasp a better understanding of the work as the author or poet meant for it to be read. Click the button to connect to the OED website.
The Web English Teacher is a great website for lesson plans. The character recipe activity, shown in the Socratic Method Lesson, was found on this site. I think it is a lesson the students will really enjoy and be a fun way for them to connect traits to characters. Click the button text to connect to the Web English Teacher website.
Using Rubistar to create a rubric for projects, papers, and presentations was extremely easy. I must admit I would dread creating a rubric by hand for each assignment requiring one. Modern technology has made it a much faster and easier task. Click the button text to connect to the Rubistar website.
