There are tons of short story lesson plans on the Internet. Most of them suck. Some of them cost half a paycheck. And some of them cost half a paycheck and still suck.
Book publishers include a teacher’s edition textbook and several other workbook type things when you order a couple hundred-thousand textbooks. It takes about 3 days of teaching to realize being a teacher is not a prerequisite for being a text book publisher.
All you want are some ready to use lesson plans with ready to use handouts with ready to use grading rubrics with ready to use quizzes with ready to use information. And since you’re putting together a wish list, you’d also like them aligned to common core standards and useful for teaching students how to read and write critically. Oh and you don’t want to spend your entire department budget.
Here’s your portal to all that (along with amazing charm and wit).
