Making Curriculum Pop

The NCTE Secondary Level ENGAGE NOW! lessons are designed primarily for high school students (ages 14-18.), but you may be able to adapt the lessons to meet the students you currently are teaching.  This month's ENGAGE NOW! Poetry Out Loud and In Groups is offered as an option for celebrating Poetry Month and is posted in NCTE Secondary Level - Connected Community site. 

Quoting from Jocelyn A. Chadwick, SSSC Chair,

"Secondary Section Steering Committee is committing to sharing each month a lesson for teachers to use in whole or in part. This series, called ENGAGE NOW! allows each member of the Secondary Committee to share and engage with teachers in the secondary section. We ask that you use these lessons as, "a transaction between our students and the worlds of the past and present as represented through a myriad of texts and genres" (Morrell). Each lesson will contain resources, instructional strategies, immersive activities facilitating research and critical thinking."
