I used this document as an outline for developing my first English Language Arts unit on the novel, Fish House Secrets by Kathy Stinson. The novel study largely centered around the theme of how Place affects individual choices and this unit plan outline helped me develop effective instructional strategies and assessments.
Echoes 11 Textbook & Teacher Resource Binder
These resources were lent to me by my Teacher Associate when I was asked to teach a short story unit to Grade 11 students. The resources include the textbook Echoes 11: Fiction, Media, and Non-Fiction and a comprehensive Teacher Resource Binder. In the textbook, the texts of study are arranged not only by genre but also by theme which made teaching the content very adaptable to students' needs. The Teacher Resource Binder provides outcome based activities, discussion points, instructional directions, assessment ideas, rubrics, graphic organizers, student handouts, etc. for each text in the textbook which I found incredibly helpful and effective.
