Words of Affirmation for your Children - Positive Parenting Activity Resource

By All Therapy Resources

There are a total of 20 cards which would be a great resource to provide to parents to ignite some pro-active and positive parenting with their children. These would be great for World Kindness Day or Acts of Kindness activities.

The great thing about these cards is that they are versatile! You are literally only limited by your imagination. There are many ways for parents to utilize these cards. For example, print each of them out and put the in a jar. At the start of each day get your child to pick one from the jar randomly and read it allowed to them. They can carry it in their pocket with them all day for a nice reminder of how much they are loved. Or you can use these before bed, or include one in their lunchbox every day. What a great positive start to the day!

First-Day Lesson Plan for American Literature: Poems about "America"

By Rigorous Resources for High School English

This lesson was designed to be used on the first day of a year-long 11th-grade American Literature course. The lesson includes a poetry packet with 7 poems by diverse American authors. Each of the poems raises important questions about what "America" represents. A land of freedom and equality? A refuge for immigrants? A diverse and inclusive nation? Or a land with entrenched inequality? A saber-rattling evil empire?

Here is a list of the poems:

1. Ada Limón, "A New National Anthem" (2018) — our new Poet Laureate!

2. Emma Lazarus, "The New Colossus" (1883)

3. Walt Whitman, "I Hear America Singing" (1860)

4. Langston Hughes, "I, Too" (1923) — responding directly to Whitman!

5. Claude McKay, "America" (1921)

6. James Lasdun, "The Question" (2012) — is America "good or bad"?

7. Tony Hoagland, "America" (2003)

This resource also comes with a classwork packet that features discussion questions on the poems by Ada Limôn, Emma Lazarus, and Langston Hughes. The discussion questions come on three handouts, each of which contains 7 questions about a particular poem. Each handout also has a quick write where students can answer one of the questions in writing.

How might the concept of "America" represent a set of ideals and promises? Has this nation lived up to its ideals and promises? How might the idea of America be different from the reality?

Thank you for choosing Rigorous Resources!

Happy teaching!
