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!

This product features a form for students to recommend books they have read to their peers. My school has a mandatory program for students in which they must read for at least 30 minutes every day and always have their pleasure reading book with them in school. I like to keep a binder of book recommendations from the students themselves with their recommendations for use throughout the year. The feedback I receive for doing this is awesome - kids love that the recommendations are coming from each other... not from me! This is also a great form to distribute at the beginning of the year so that your students can recommend the books they read over the summer. Start your prep for next year early! _________________________________________________________________________ Also, check out these great resources that can be adapted for any novel by Language Arts Excellence: Novel Soundtrack Assignment Socratic Seminar Lesson Plan and Materials Adaptable for ANY Topic Differentiated End of Term Reflection Activities Differentiated End of Year Reflection Activities Differentiated Essay Prompts for use with ANY Novel – FREE!

ABOUT THIS RESOURCE
★ Inference Graphic Organizer
★ 2 pages
★ PDF File
★ Suitable for any text or grade
This resource includes:
★ 2 Making Inferences Graphic Organizers (containing Post-It clip art)
These graphic organizers are designed to support students in making inferences using any text under study.

This is an excellent tool to help students gather important information before writing a response. The first graphic organizer does not include evidence and explanation sentence stems to help students develop their writing, while the second graphic organizer does - which will help support differentiation in the classroom!
These graphic organizers can be used in whole group instruction, small group instruction, and with novel groups/literature circles. These graphic organizers can also be assigned as a "Purpose for Reading" during silent reading time, classwork, or homework!
