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!

• A 5 minute silent timer embedded in each slide

The Steps:

1. A central statement will be announced to the class and we will define the two sides

of the debate (Agree/Disagree).

2. You will move to the side

of the room with the position that you intend to defend.

3. A timer will be set for 5 minutes, and the debate will start between the two groups.

4. Be concise and attempt to keep you contributions to less than 30 seconds each. The goal is to have an up-tempo debate, where the arguments for and against the prompt are batted back and forth with quick, verbal strokes. When the timer goes off, the conversation is immediately over.

5. A new prompt is displayed and we start another round of quick debates.

*******************************

Mindfulness is the practice of purposely focusing your attention on the present moment—and accepting it without judgment. It is a concept that can be used to support and strengthen students’ social and emotional skills and development. Teaching mindfulness in the classroom can lead to positive outcomes including improving students' well-being, reducing their stress levels, focusing students' attention on what's important, encouraging self-regulation, and improving behavior.

This detailed lesson, PowerPoint presentation, and activities are designed to help students understand the concept of mindfulness and practice it wherever they are!

▶️ In-depth Lesson Plan (Step-by-step)

✅ This resource includes a detailed, step-by-step lesson plan that helps you teach mindfulness in a fun and engaging manner. It focuses on teaching students what mindfulness means, how it can be practiced, and why it’s beneficial.

Students will have opportunities to practice mindfulness right in their own classrooms. All the worksheets for the activities are included with ANSWER KEYS!

✅ In addition, an editable lesson plan version is also included, so you can modify and tailor it in such a way that meets the needs of your students.
