A few notes about the lesson plans given here:
1. These are the beginning lesson plans of the anthology and are aimed at classes which have English-as-a-second-language students. Teachers who have more advanced classes will probably want to skip some parts of the lesson.
2. The first lesson plan demonstrates how a history selection can be advantageously used in the language arts class. The second lesson plan demonstrates how a religious selection can be advantageously used in the language arts class.
3. The remaining lesson plans will be forthcoming, and purchase of the book will be required to receive a password that will enable you to access the remaining lessons.
