Lesson Plans

Fire Evacuation, Part 2:

In this lesson plan, students will use the Case Study "Fire Safety" (See CPALMS Resource ID 219978) to relate fire evacuation steps (R.A.C.E.) to school fire safety procedures. Students will write a short story about a fire emergency at a school.

Type: Lesson Plan

Work Ethics in Action:

Using the case study, “The Best Customer Service,” students will analyze the server guest satisfaction reviews and employee summaries to determine which employees give the best customer service. Then students will collaborate to determine the employee who is recommended for promotion based on guest satisfaction and write a narrative outcome for the case study.

Type: Lesson Plan

The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: Frederick Douglass and the 15th Amendment:

Students will read portions of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and review the text of the 15th Amendment, then write a narrative piece in the form of a journal entry to express Frederick Douglass’ thoughts and feelings about how the 15th Amendment could impact his life.

There are three lessons that can be used to complement a study of The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and help students take a new perspective by merging ELA skills with civics knowledge.

Artifact Bags, Writing Territories, and the Writing Process:

Students will engage in the narrative writing process to brainstorm ideas, produce organized, thoughtful drafts, provide peer feedback, edit their writing, and produce a final product. Students will create a list of ideas they will use as a basis for their writing. They will also practice each stage of the writing process (brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing) during writing workshop. Students will receive feedback from peer reviewers at each step of the way as they perfect their writer's craft. Students will produce a final narrative essay for the summative assessment.
