      This would be a really fun activity in an adult roles or teen living class, about relationships.
  • This would be fun for any get-to-know you activity.
  • If a red candy is picked up, you would share a quality you look (or looked) for in your “Mister Marvelous”. An orange candy would have you share a marvelous quality you hope to cultivate in yourself. Blue is for sharing ways we can be united in our spiritual progression. Green is for things that we would enjoy learning with a spouse. Yellow is to share a silly story about anything, and brown is to share an idea for how to resolve conflict or overcome a trial or hardship.

  • Overview "… then there is nothing left me but to go and see General Grant, and I would rather die a thousand deaths…" --Robert E. Lee, April 9, 1865 The Civil War still holds the distinction of being the bloodiest in American History. It all came to an end, however, in the parlor of Wilmer McLean’s home at Appomattox Court House, Virginia, in April, 1865. While the war may have been bloody, the terms given by General Ulysses S. Grant to Robert E. Lee for the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia were extremely generous. In this activity, students will analyze these terms, as well as the events leading to Lee’s surrender, by investigating Grant’s own memoirs of this time.
  • Question Sheet for Lee and Grant at Appomattox Court House (with possible answers) 1. The selection you are reading is from US Grant’s personal memoirs of the Civil War. What kind of perspective would you expect Grant to have regarding these events? (Answers vary. Many might say Grant would have the perspective of the victor, and would explain what happened in terms of a victorious general. Others might look at Grant’s gestures toward Lee as being compassionate, and might be likely to say he was relatively objective in his account.)

  • 6. Have students examine recent issues of newspapers and magazines as well as radio and television broadcasts to determine what local and national issues are currently attracting attention and debate. Encourage students to find out what the issues are, who is opposed and for different solutions. As an end to this activity, have the students clip relevant newspaper stories, editorials and letters to the editor, also have them write down any pertinent information from the radio and television, then choose two sides and debate the issues.

      How feasible is this for a school district? What would this be compared to an average district spending amt on books?
  • Ideally, Zach said, each English period would be lengthened to allow for designated reading time, but that's something that must be discussed with administration first.

      Can this be implemented in several districts?

      Though I'm more of an advocate for writing prompts that are related to the learning/instruction of the day, this page has some good ideas that challenge students to take their learning outside of the classroom! Love it!
  • November 1 st is "National Family Literacy Day." Tonight you will have the chance to complete a literacy activity with your family. Plan one of the following: •  Think about your favorite picture book. Read the book aloud with your family. Plan on who will read which pages. You may want to plan a craft that your family could also complete. •  Think about a story that your family could write together. You will want to have a setting, plot, and characters. Don't forget to include some illustrations!
