And every teacher has the responsibility to provide a sure-fire, successful plan for the substitute who will bravely step into his or her shoes. This Teacher Appreciation Week, in recognition of all that you do, Education World provides five lessons to leave behind for your class and your substitute to enjoy. (By the way -- if you want to keep these "anytime lessons" to yourself, we will understand!) Details of the five lessons follow immediately below... 1. Wacky Word Play This lesson combines students' love of word games and drawing to promote critical thinking. (Grades 3-12) 2. Review Game With minimum preparation, this fun review game can be adapted to any subject and used at any time. (Grades K-12) 3. You Be the Editor Student-editors work in teams to find all the errors "planted" in a piece of text. (Grades K-12) 4. A Unique Drawing Experience Students discover how, with only one set of directions, everyone creates a unique piece of abstract art. (Grades Pre-K-12) 5. Every Picture Tells a Story This lesson has students examine unusual pictures, describe their impressions, and create stories around the images.
