In this lesson, students consider the meanings of Christmas by reading an op-ed. As a class, they then create a sequel to the poem ?A Visit from Saint Nicholas,? in which ?Mamma? tells a story about the history of Christmas. For homework, they write journal entries that explore the personal dimension of the ideas discussed in the op-ed. In this lesson, students reflect on how they greet the holiday season and participate in a fishbowl discussion to explore the ongoing debate on how best to celebrate the holidays. For homework, they write personal essays on their own holiday traditions. In this lesson, students read about the sights and sounds of a Las Vegas Christmas. They then use words and phrases taken from articles in today?s New York Times to create holiday-themed ?found poems. Students will be evaluated based on their responses to the opening exercise, participation in class discussion, composition and presentation of holiday-themed found poems, and creation of collages to illustrate their poems. How can we best understand how and why historical events happened, as well as how and why they are significant? In this lesson, students consider how ordinary citizens contributed to and experienced the fall of the Berlin Wall. They then develop scrapbooks depicting how people experienced the wall and use the books as symbolic bricks in building a classroom Berlin Wall. |
