I use interactive notebooks in my classroom, this is a flipbook that can be glued or into a composition notebook. The flip book syllabus will also fit in a larger spiral notebook, as well. All of the slides are completely editable. All you need to do is add your own class information over the top of mine. I left my information in as a guide for you.

Students must get their parents to read and sign it . This is a powerpoint file, please make sure you either have access to Power Point or are able to edit or convert Power Point files before downloading.

There are 31 vegetable vocabulary terms to search for, this would be a great fun way to learn and practice vocabulary. It is a perfect activity for the class or to send your students home with it. The terms are hidden in all directions and there may be some overlaps making this definitely a challenging puzzle.

You will get a PDF file of 6 pages ( 3 for the puzzles and the other 3 for the answers ).

Note: If you want it just black and white you can adjust your printer settings to black and white which saves on printing costs.

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!
