This 90-minute lesson plan is designed for high school students (Grades 9–12) studying Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Using the engaging "Video SparkNotes: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein Summary" as a foundation, the lesson guides students through key plot points, characters, and major themes like responsibility, isolation, revenge, and the dangers of unchecked ambition.

The session begins with a warm-up activity to activate prior knowledge, followed by a focused video viewing and guided discussion to promote critical thinking.

Students then work in small groups to complete comprehension and analysis activities on a detailed worksheet. These tasks range from timeline sequencing and character analysis to exploring moral dilemmas and comparing Frankenstein’s actions to modern ethical issues in science. The lesson encourages students to reflect on who is more to blame—Frankenstein or his creation—and why that matters.

By the end of the class, students will have a deeper understanding of the novel’s structure, themes, and relevance. The worksheet includes a mix of creative and academic tasks, fostering engagement and interpretation. An answer key is provided to support both guided instruction and independent review. This lesson is perfect for literature units or as part of a larger discussion on Gothic fiction, ethics, or Romantic literature.

This A1-level Sight Words ebook is designed to help Kindergarten learners and beginners in English master essential sight words through a variety of engaging and interactive activities. Sight words are high-frequency words that often do not follow regular phonetic patterns, making it important for learners to recognize them on sight. This printable worksheet includes 15 thoughtfully crafted activities that promote visual recognition, spelling accuracy, and reading fluency.

Learners will practice identifying, reading, writing, and using sight words in context. Activities such as word searches, sentence building, fill-in-the-blanks, drawing, matching, and puzzles make the learning process fun and meaningful. Other tasks encourage creativity and collaboration, like making short stories and playing memory games. These varied tasks cater to different learning styles and help reinforce vocabulary retention.

This resource supports individual, pair, or group work and can be used in the classroom or for homework. It is ideal for ESL teachers, primary educators, and homeschooling parents looking to build foundational reading skills. The accompanying answer key provides guidance for assessment and self-checking. With repeated exposure and interactive practice, students will gain confidence and improve their ability to read and use sight words correctly in real-life communication.

Learning to read is one of the most important milestones in a child's education. One of the earliest and most effective strategies for teaching reading is through the use of CVC words. CVC stands for Consonant-Vowel-Consonant. These are simple three-letter words that follow a predictable pattern, making them ideal for young learners and beginner readers.

CVC words help children understand how individual sounds (phonemes) come together to form words. They provide a solid foundation for phonics, blending, and decoding skills. For example, in the word "cat," children can learn to blend the sounds /k/, /a/, and /t/ to read the whole word.

This ebook is designed for early learners, ESL students, and anyone who is beginning their journey into reading and spelling. It includes 50 of the most common CVC words, each with a clear definition and example sentence. Following the word list, you will find a student worksheet with 30 fun and educational exercises that help reinforce the material. Answers are provided at the end for self-assessment or teacher use.

Let the learning begin!
