It not only has information for English and Literature, but also for Math, Science and History. One of the major things that I like about this resource is that it is easy to follow, and very well organized.
I especially liked the sections on Expanding the Cannon: Teaching multicultural literature. One of the biggest issues that I have as a future teacher, and current student, is the lack of diversity in the literature that we teach. We often stick to the usual greats without taking a second look at some of the multicultural literature coming from those same eras. I think that there is much that can be gained for reading the ‘not-so-greats’ as well.
The article lists 8 different workshops under this specific title. Each workshop has an itemized detailed explanation as to what each part of each workshop is meant to accomplish. Each workshop builds a different set of skills while incorporating 2 different authors whose works tie in similar themes. There are also links to resources that can be printed, purchase, and downloaded for use in the classroom.
Despite the organization of the resources, I do think that there is a lot of room for individual tweaking to fit your classroom and student abilities. The fact that the resources are so laid out will allow teachers to see clear opportunities to add some originality to the ideas presented.
