Modified Test on Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave
This is a modified version of my other test on Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. Some of the essay question are in Spanish. I wanted to know whether my students gained the content knowldege of the complex issue of slavery. This was given in a high school Sheltered English 11 class (American Literature.)

Literature Circle Jobs
Literature Circles are a good way for students to interact with whatever you are reading. They break into groups and each group has a job. These are my ESL adapted descriptions of each job. I have done this with novice to advanced classes-only the reading texts are different!

Novel Project
This is the generic version of a novel project I do with my students. The Frankenstein To Kill A Mockingbird Projects that I have posted are the same, but everything is particular to those novels. This one I made very generic so that it can go with almost any novel. My students like being given a choice as to what they do.

Reading Response Log
My students use this worksheet to write about their independent reading. I found that if I just let them write on their own, they would just recite the book over again. This helps them focus on their connections and analysis of the story, not just retelling plot (though they have to do that too!) I think it is adaptable to many levels.

Campaign Project
My students do this project towards the end of our study on persuasive speech/writing. I generally do this unit in the fall (election time in the U.S.) so that there are plenty of examples of good and bad persuasive arguments as the politicians are doing their thing!
