Shakespeare Unit and Lesson plans
Here is the final unit plan I created for my first semester of my senior seminar teaching course. The requirements were to create the SWBAT's for all the lessons (so that our professor would be able to follow our thinking for the unit) and then to complete three of our lessons. We were doing a unit on Shakespeare, I focused on the benefit of acting out plays in the classroom while I created this unit plan.

Crucible Unit Plan
Here you will find a collaborative unit plan that is part of a curriculum developed by a team of teachers trying to explore how to teach books that instructors disliked teaching or reading in school. The unit I was directly responsible for creating was the crucible unit- though our group had to keep in mind what was being developed by our classmates in the other units. We had a "fakebook" assignment that ran through the units to tie them all together and taught the material in class to one another and on the Jseep webpage for other educators to learn from. The most important aspect of these units for me as an educator was remembering that just because, I might have disliked a book in school, or a book is over taught in schools does not mean that it cannot be taught in creative and new ways

To Kill A Mockingbird Unit Plan
While making this unit on To Kill a Mockingbird we were considering the Troy school district and how to teach vocabulary during the novel. This unit is especially interesting because of the mock trial aspect, the scaffolding towards argumentative paper writing, and the unique student led vocabulary reviews. I was told once, that a student needs go over a word five to seven times before they truly learn it and this lesson takes that idea into account--making sure that repetition and student interest are key factors in the vocabulary lessons.

Edgar Allen Poe Mini-Unit
This unit plan was part of a co-planning session with four other teachers and was a great example of collaborative teaching. We were each responsible for own parts of the three week lesson plan but we also had many planning sessions to develop the day by day lesson plan together. One of the goals of the lesson was to creatively teach commonly taught novels and authors by incorporating technology and activities that get kids out of their seats and into the literature.
