These are two unit plans. The first is a unit plan I created for an 8-day unit on The Giver by Lois Lowry, one of the most popular Young Adult novels taught in the middle school and high school classroom. Attached are the lesson plans, artifacts, and corresponding PowerPoint. The second is a unit plan for composition/writing. This unit involves a service project and research. Attached is one document containing the lesson outlines and artifacts.
I am a firm believer that it is important to know your content well in order to be able to teach it effectively. That being said, I have included a few of my papers from my English classes in order to prove that I am, indeed, competent in my content area of English.
The first paper is my final Senior Seminar thesis on Lowry Lowry's The Giver. The second is a paper on the Jewish American immigrant experience in light of nonfiction and fiction texts.
In these papers, I showcase my ability to build and defend an argument, incorporate evidence, and use proper grammar.
