The "A Way with Words" lesson from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is an interactive language and drama activity designed for grades 6-8 that helps students explore the meaning of Shakespearean vocabulary through movement and creativity. In this lesson, students work in teams to interpret unfamiliar words and phrases by drawing pictures and pantomiming their meanings, encouraging them to actively engage with Shakespeare's language rather than simply memorizing definitions. The activity integrates drama, visual art, and language arts while helping students build vocabulary, collaboration skills, and confidence in understanding classical texts. By combining performance and discussion, the lesson makes Shakespeare's language more accessible and encourages students to think about how words communicate meaning in creative ways.
tag(s): phrases (5), shakespeare (99), vocabulary (260)
In the Classroom
Give students cards with Shakespearean words or phrases from the lesson and have them act out the meaning of the word without speaking, while their classmates guess the definition. Have students select several unfamiliar Shakespearean words and create illustrations that show the meaning of each word. Display the drawings around the classroom to create a "Shakespeare Vocabulary Gallery." Provide students with a short line from Shakespeare. Ask them to rewrite the line in modern everyday language while keeping the same meaning.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

This ia a very interesting site for teaching the literature and humanities areas of WWI. You can follow interactive "paths" or create your own path. It highlights several lesser known British poets and photographers from that time period and contains some things found nowhere else on the 'net. Some of the archives include media components, such as video that may require Flash. History teachers may want to use some of these materials to familiarize students with the culture of the times.
tag(s): literature (215), poetry (194)
In the Classroom
This could be used very easily as part of a webquestor web scavenger hunt. You could also use it in the classroom on a projector or whiteboard to show different elements or types of war poetry. Make sure you have the correct plug-ins if you are using video portions.

Create photo trading cards using images you upload or store on Flickr, Instagram, or Dropbox. Imagine having your students create study aids about famous people using images they draw and scan, or photos of themselves impersonating famous people, such as presidents, explorers, authors, and more. If you celebrate reading by having an "author's tea," why not follow up by asking students to make trading cards for the authors they "met"? Use a similar approach for famous historical figures or even for geometric shapes you photograph with the digital camera. If students write their own "biographies" of the shapes to study from, they will learn for sure! They can even trade each other for favorites.
tag(s): book reports (26), famous people (40), images (276)
In the Classroom
Upload and tag your photo, type information, and print cards. Download the finished card to your computer. Use for book reports for literature circles, with each student in the group making a card for a different character in the book. This is also an excellent idea for special occasions for special people: mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, school nurse, school secretary, school custodian, favorite aunt, or anyone else! Be sure to print onto cover stock and laminate (if possible). What fabulous (and memorable) gifts. Check out the Big Huge Labs educator account.

A fairly fast moving webquest, this activity nonetheless provides opportunities to delve into the world of utopias. It also bases the evaluation of the final student project on four subject areas: social studies, language arts, art history and science. An Internet link goes to a cyberguide for the novel.
In the Classroom
If you do not have enough time for an entire webquest, you may still want to do some of the activities or use the links with your class. A webquest is also an excellent independent activity for your more able students or for a gifted class, allowing you time to work in smaller groups with your struggling students. Bring in laptops for the webquest students to work in the room with you, if you have them available. Consider upgrading from paper to digital copies of the work for students to turn in afterward. Google Docs reviewed here or one of many creative. collaborative web 2.0 tools reviewed in the TeachersFirst Edge would be a great way for students to complete everything without killing trees and without creating a mess of papers on your desk later.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This site is a lesson idea for a game that teaches confidence, pantomime, and critical thinking. It's also a lot of fun. It can be adapted for use from Kindergarten to Middle School - obviously with varying levels of sophistication. It looks more complicated than it is - the creator says he never has trouble making his students understand it.
tag(s): acting (17)
In the Classroom
Small grous of students are assigned a room in the house and then choose to be object within the room group (the other groups are the audience) and in acting out the object, they must also convince the teacher why they are useful (or were invented, etc.). Very cute and teaches all sorts of different skills painlessly. One possible adaptation is to use this as a review for different science concepts, such as body systems, instead of simply for an object. Each group could be a body system and would have to tell why they should not be taken away. This could truly check student understanding while building oral communication and drama skills, too.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This site features art and cultural information of native Americans, focusing especially on the Eastern Woodlands region. There is information on , Birds & Feathers, Clay & Pottery, Leather & Clothes, Metalwork, Plants & Trees, Porcupine Quills, Stonework & Tools, and Weaving & Cordage. Some of the text passages may be a bit lengthy, but there are also interactive ways for students to get a "hands on" feel, such as with the beadwork interactive game. The sections under Special Features are certain to make the culture come alive for elementary and middle school students.
tag(s): native americans (169)
In the Classroom
Give students a scavenger hunt to learn the basics about the culture you are studying, then allow them to try some of the interactive games, ass based on the content of the site.

The Assembly on Literature for Adolescents (ALAN) invites teens to participate in an ongoing online book club experience. Students read a selected book, submit at least one discussion question, and take part in scheduled online discussions in a chat-based format. Following the group discussion, participants often have the opportunity to interact directly with the author during a live or moderated author chat held shortly afterward. This program encourages thoughtful reading, discussion, and authentic engagement with authors through online platforms.

A great outlet to suggest to your teens who love to read but don't find enough others with similar interests! INclude this as a link from your teacher or school library web site.

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Companion, created by Annette Whipple, is a richly detailed blog that explores the pioneer world behind the beloved Little House books. In its popular "Live Like Laura" section, visitors can find hands-on activities, period recipes, crafts, and pioneer-living tips rooted in Wilder's life. The site also offers free printables, trivia, book discussions, guides to Little House homesites and museums, and resources to complement a chapter-by-chapter study of Wilder's works, making it a wonderful tool for educators and fans alike.
In the Classroom
Use an interactive whiteboard or projector to introduce your students to the lovely Laura Ingalls Wilder. After introducing the site, ask students to read parts of the blog in pairs or small groups. If you are beginning the process of integrating technology, have students replace pen and paper and create their own blogs sharing their learning and understanding using Weebly, reviewed here. If you are teaching younger students and looking for an easy way to integrate technology and check for understanding, challenge your students to replace pencil and paper and create a blog using Seesaw, reviewed here. Take this a step further with older students and enhance student learning by asking them to use their blog entries to create an interactive timeline of Laura's life using Knightlab's multimedia timeline creator, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Review the process carefully to see if you need to adapt it in your situation. The teacher who designed this uses clips from a film (Ever After) and specific software packages (Inspiration, Publisher). There are certainly alternate ways to accomplish the same tasks if you do not have access to these exact resources. If you do not have as much time, you may want to use some portion of this webquest with your students. It is well-packaged for use in toto, if you wish!One alternative would be having students turn in work via Google Docs, reviewed here, allowing for easy feedback from the teacher and no messy papers to grade.

This can be a great lesson starter, particularly on those dreary days when kids don't want to work. For lower level kids, it is a brain exercise for such things as the alphabet game (which is more difficult than it first seems!). For higher level kids, you can substitute characters from literature with a situation from the story itself or from history with imaginative "what if" dialogue for actual events.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Though this site is now archived, the links and information are still good. This is a true on-line digital library, with information about the books searched presented in a library-type (MARC) format; items include title, author, keyword, subjects, notes, content vocabulary etc. Links to the digitized texts are offered in both pdf and jpeg form at the bottom of the page. The collection covers children's literature from 1850 to 1950 and more, only those items found in the Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature at the University of Florida. While not a comprehensive library in the sense of offering the classics of children's literature, the approach is instructional and the offerings well presented. Items are searchable by keyword, author, and title.

If you know of an older piece of children's lit that is out of print, this is a way to find the text to read to your children. You can also search by subject to find stories on a certain topic.
