Lesson Planning Weblinks

Here are some great resources for lesson planning for English Language Arts and more!

1. NCTE- National Council of Teachers of English
This website is designed around all of the needs of English teachers. It has everything from grammar to advanced literacy practices. The website is not only divided into practices but it is also divided into grade level. I suggest using this website to liven up a lesson plan. It is easy to find what TEKS you are needing to match and this website helps teachers integrate fun and complexity into lessons.

2. ReadWriteThink- Lesson Planning Tool
This website is handy and well organized. This site separates by grade level, lesson plan type, learning objective, and theme. It is useful because if you draw a blank when lesson planning for a boring TEK then this website will assist you in finding the perfect fit. Whether you need a full lesson or a short mini lesson, this site will help.

3. UE- Using English
This website gives the user many options such as testing opportunities, references and resources, and even articles. If you ever want to advance a lesson plan then try this site! UE will give you great resources to give to your students or even supply you with text that can help you create critical thinking from your students.

I'm excited to use these sites and I'm sure you will enjoy them just as much as I do!
