FREE LANGUAGE ARTS LESSON – “Valentine’s Lesson Plans or Sub Plans for ‘The Story of an Hour,’ by Kate Chopin”
by Write with a Point
8th – 11th Grade
Want to mix things up this Valentine’s Day? (Or any day, for that matter?) Teach Kate Chopin’s feminist text, “The Story of an Hour,” and introduce your students to a “joy that kills.” Or pair it with Billie Eilish’s song, “What Was I Made For?” (from the Barbie movie) for a modern, engaging comparison activity that’s sure to excite your class. You can bring in some historical context by reading Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s “Declaration of Sentiments” as well. You’ve got options!
This freebie includes two no-prep lesson plans for you to choose from: a close reading with a comparison to a historical non-fiction text and a visual analysis with a comparison to a modern pop song. The strategies presented are engaging and adaptable. There’s no prep work required. And either lesson would make a great emergency sub plan.
If you’d like, you can view the expanded versions of these plans on my blog. And you can find more free lesson plans at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
