About the lesson

My lessons begin with relevant resources and readily, applicable skills. My methods are well-paced and comprehensible. **All lessons are tailored to meet the individual needs of the student**

Here's a sample lesson plan tailored for a one-on-one session in American Literature:

Lesson Plan: Understanding Themes in American Literature

Objective: By the end of this lesson, the student will be able to analyze and discuss the theme of individualism in selected works of American literature.

Student Level: High School or College

Materials Needed:

Copies of selected texts (e.g., excerpts from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays, "Self-Reliance" and "Nature")
Notebook or paper
Pen or pencil
Lesson Duration: 60 minutes

Procedure:

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

Greet and briefly review the lesson's purpose: exploring the theme of individualism in American literature.
Discuss any key concepts, vocabulary, and the significance of individualism in American culture and literature, providing examples if needed.
2. Reading and Annotation (20 minutes)

Provide the student with excerpts (e.g.) from Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays, "Self-Reliance" and "Nature."
Encourage the student to read the excerpts attentively and annotate key passages that exemplify Emerson's ideas on individualism.
The student will write down any questions or observations that arise during the reading.

3. Discussion and Analysis (25 minutes)

Engage the student in discussing Emerson's concept of individualism as portrayed in the excerpts.
Ask guiding questions such as:
How does Emerson define individualism?
What examples does he use to illustrate his ideas?
How does Emerson's view of individualism relate to the broader American literary tradition?
Encourage students to express their interpretations and insights based on their annotations and reading.
4. Application (10 minutes)

Discuss how Emerson's ideas on individualism resonate with other American literary works the student may have read or heard about (e.g., "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald).
Help the student make connections between Emerson's philosophy and the characters' actions or themes in these works.
Encourage the student to reflect on how the theme of individualism shapes their understanding of American literature as a whole.
5. Wrap-Up (5 minutes)

Summarize the key points discussed during the lesson.
Assign the student will write a brief reflection (1-2 paragraphs) on their understanding of individualism in American literature, using examples from Emerson's essays and other works discussed for their notes and future reference.

Provide any additional resources or readings for the student to explore further if interested.

Assessment: Assess the student based on their participation in discussion, understanding of the theme of individualism, and the quality of their reflections in the writing assignment.
