Students get the chance to create the epitaph for the gravestone of the most revered writer of all time. The activity encourages students to be thoughtful with their knowledge of William Shakespeare but also to be creative with their inscriptions. This can be done in or outside of class and also works as a great emergency substitute plan as no preparation is needed for this activity besides printing off the templates. To be festive, I love to give this assignment on the anniversary of Shakespeare's actual death, April 23, but with the subject at hand, it also works well as a Halloween lesson plan.
Product Includes:
- Complete Assignment Directions
- Scoring Guide
- 3 Templates: 2 blank, 1 editable

Unreliable Narrator of The Black Cat Lesson Plan
By Language Arts Excellence
This resource features a full-length lesson plan and accompanying materials that asks students to delve into the crazed mind of the narrator of Poe's "The Black Cat." Through an engaging "True/Untrue Storytelling" activity, precise mini-lecture on the unreliable narrator, guiding questions, and follow-up assignment, your students will be able to understand the sometimes daunting concept of the unreliable narrator and discuss how a story is affected when told through the eyes of one. This lesson plan opens up a new world for students as they realize that many of the books, movies, and tv shows that they have read or seen in the past may have been influenced by an unreliable narrator. Thus, not only is this lesson important, it is intrinsically fascinating to students and the "oohs" and "aha" moments that tend to arise from the discussion make it a blast to teach! I am confident that you and your students will love this lesson as much as mine have for years.
Product Includes:
- Meticulously-crafted lesson plan with objectives, materials, warm-up, explanation, application, synthesis for either 1 90-minute period or 2 45-minute periods
- Student packet of accompanying materials
