civics english math science
Science: I used to think EdHeads was perhaps a bit too elementary but not anymore. These are very high level thinking activities like Hip Replacement, Create a Line of Stem Cells, and Deep Brain Stimulation. I tried the Simple Machines thinking that would be easy but I had a tough time identify all those simple machines in my kitchen.
Math: It is basketball season and what could be more appropriate than learning how to play Math Basketball from a well know Algebra/Geometry teacher. Take a look.
Civics: I am somewhat of a voyeuer. I look at other teacher's, other school districts, and even other states standards. Well, here is a site from Ohio Able Research Center that gives loads of Civics lesson plans developed for their standards and to help ESOL students as well. Since it is by standard, you can easily find new ideas to presenting similar standards for Virginia.
English: This one is a repeat but so worth looking at. Shmoop has loads of peotry and literature lessons but best of all, this site answers the age old question, "Why should I care?" If you don't have that grand justification as to why this is part of the curriculum, take a look at Shmoop and see if they can't put it into words.
