James Thurber’s great short story, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” is a smart, imaginative story that will engage your students from beginning to end. Back in 2013, it was even made into a movie starring Ben Stiller (who also directed the film). In both tellings, Walter is an intriguing and enjoyable character that students can easily relate to. And with these two, no-prep lesson plans, it’s easy to incorporate this text into your classroom.
This freebie includes two no-prep lesson plans for you to choose from: a close reading with analytical one-pager prompts or a two-day creative writing activity. 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.
