Daily Lesson Plans: High School

How easy can it get?! This is the final in my series of grade-level lesson plans I've prepared to keep in my own guest teaching bag. I've created these to use in the event that I'm left with inadequate lesson plans (or none at all!). Feel free to use them in the classroom yourself. You'll note that some activities are repeated or modified for use in different grade levels; I find this saves me planning time and money (fewer supplies to buy), and the repetition it allows me to get comfortable doing each activity.

Here's my best "stolen" idea...

For an idea I love that I can take nocredit for, go to http://www.teachweb.net/Newsletter/issue... . There you'll find a TeachWeb newsletter edition with a fantastic theme: using comic books to teach high school lessons in history, biography, politics, and literature. The best things about that plan: chances are slim that your students have done it before, and it's fun. It's up to you to build the plan, but I'd suggest photocopying a few pages of a comic onto transparency plastic (or making photocopies for students to share), reading it as a class, then setting students loose to develop their own similarly-themed comic. All you need to supply is colored pencils, if you want to let them get really creative.
