Instructional Ideas
  • As the lesson plan suggests, this would work well as a sub plan
  • Try out the whole lesson, or some specific worksheets from the collection, at the beginning of the year with your journalism class
Classroom Considerations
  • For the first activity, you will need to have an AP Style Guide or online equivalent handy
  • While the plan specifically states that this was originally designed as a sub plan, you can definitely use it for regular instruction
Pros
  • Includes options for both traditional and block schedule setups
  • Comes with worksheets and answer keys (when appropriate)
Cons
  • One of the worksheets is titled with Analyzation, which is not a word; you may wish to white this out and write in Analysis instead
