Classroom Activities
The following activities and questions are designed to help your students use their noticing skills to move
through the poem and develop their thinking about its meaning with confidence, using what they’ve noticed as
evidence for their interpretations. Read more about the framework upon which these activities are based.
1. Warm-up (pair share): Draw a picture of a snowy evening. Be sure to include as many vivid images as you
can. Share your picture with a partner and describe the images that you included.
2. Before Reading the Poem (noticing and pair share): Look carefully at the image of the photograph “Horse
and sleigh on Valdez Trail to Fairbanks.” What do you notice first? Look again. What else do you see? What
might be going on in this image?
3. Reading the Poem: Read the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost silently.
What do you notice about the poem? Annotate for any words or phrases that stand out to you or any questions
you might have.
4. Listening to the Poem (enlist two volunteers to read the poem aloud): Listen as the poem is read aloud
twice, and write down any additional words and phrases that stand out to you. Call back the lines that you like
by saying these lines aloud with your group.
5. Small-group Discussion: Share what you noticed in the poem with your partner and another pair of students.
Based on the details you just shared with your small group, how might the image from the beginning of class
relate to the poem? What images stand out to you in the poem? What might the woods symbolize?
6. Whole-class Discussion: How would you describe the mood in the poem? Why? What promises do you think
that the speaker might have to keep? Why might the speaker repeat the final line?
7. Extension for Grades 7-8: Reread the first stanza. Why might the speaker say he thinks he knows “Whose
woods these are”? Write a postcard to the owner of the woods from the speaker. What might this speaker tell the
owner?
8. Extension for Grades 9-12: (Teachers, if you haven’t already, now might be a good time to introduce rhyme
scheme.) Reread the poem and pay close attention to the rhyme scheme. Write an emulation of this poem where
you mimic the rhyme scheme. Or, rewrite the poem in a different season.

Print required handouts. Make a few extra copies just to be sure.
Ensure your location has any technology you require (computer, projector, SMART board, etc.)
Lesson:
A) Introduction
Introduce yourself.
Tell the students about your job and why you are there to talk to them. Tell students that in today's class, they
will talk about substance abuse, its impacts and ways they can deal with peer pressure related to substance use
and abuse. Additionally, different supports to help them deal with the issue will be addressed.
If you are a police officer, briefly discuss the role of police officers when it comes to substance abuse (i.e. your
experience dealing with youth and substance abuse issues).
Pass out one index card to each student. Explain that this card is to be used for students to write down any
question they may have. The presenters will collect them towards the end of the presentation and answer the
questions anonymously in front of the group.
B) Activity #1: Name that Drug
Goal: Students will learn about various drugs (including short and long-term health impacts).
Type: Information chart and discussion
Time: 10 minutes
Step #1:
Cut out the drug types and their matching definitions from Activity #1: Name that Drug (9-10.1 Reference) and
place them out of order on the board.
Explain to students that different types of drugs have different effects on our bodies.
Let students know that most drugs can be broken down into three categories:
Goal: Students will recognize protective and risk factors associated with substance abuse and addiction and
learn the importance of resilient factors.
Type: T-chart and group activity
Time: 15 minutes
Step #1:
Ask students to define the following terms:
Resiliency: The ability to become strong, healthy and successful after something bad happens to you
(www.merriam-webster.com 2014).
Risk Factors: Factors that can lead to drug use.
Protective Factors: Factors that can shield from drug use.(http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/docas-ssdco/guide-kid-
enf/page3-eng.htm).
Ask the students to get into groups of 3 or 4.
Step #2:
Create a chart on the SMART board, chalkboard or overhead with two titles: (1) Risk Factors & (2) Protective
Factors. Ask students to identify examples of risk factors when it comes to substance abuse, alcohol and
addiction and record their answers. Then ask students to identify some examples of protective factors that could
be associated with not using drugs and alcohol or getting addicted. Use Activity #2: Recognizing the Risks (9-
10.2 Reference) as a guide.
Step #3:
If time allows, give each group playing cards and tell them to work together to make a card house for 5 minutes.
Goal: Students will discuss how addiction can impact a person's lifestyle.
Type: Discussion and group activity
Time: 10 minutes
Step #1:
Ask students to define what addiction is as well as the substances a person can become addicted to.
Make sure to include that both drugs and alcohol can be addictive.
Explain to students that addiction is an ongoing process. Addiction may present its challenges at different times
over many years in a user's life.
Write each stage on a different piece of paper. Ask for 5 volunteers to come to the front of the class and give
each student a stage.
Have the student volunteers work together to arrange themselves in the order that they think the scale of
addiction occurs in.
Step #2:
With the students, define each stage of addiction. Discuss the answers with students and use Activity #3: Path to
Addiction (9-10.3 Reference) as a guide.
E) Activity #4: Consequences of Addiction
Goal: Students will examine the consequences of addiction on all facets of life.
Type: 5 corners activity and group discussion
Time: 10 minutes
Step #1:
Separate the students into 5 different groups.
Have the students get into their groups and give each group a piece of chart paper. Assign each of the five
groups one of the topics: (1) Family, (2) Friends & Recreation, (3) School & Jobs, (4) Physical & Emotional
Health, and (5) Financial. Have each group write the topic on their piece of chart paper.
Ask each group to brainstorm and record the consequences of an addiction relating to their topic.
Give the groups 5 minutes to come up with a hashtag that represents how they might be affected in that aspect
of their life.
Discuss answers with the group.
To conclude the lesson, summarize the important points and highlights of your discussion throughout the
session.
Collect all index cards from students. Take some time to answer any questions from the cards that the students
may have had.

LESSON PLAN 07
NOISE
Teacher Name:
Grade: Grade 9
Subject: English
Students’ Learning Outcomes
Ask the students what kind of sounds they hear every day. Make a list of different sounds on the
board and then ask the students to different pleasant and unpleasant sounds.
Ask a student to dreg a chair on the floor while ask another student to sing a song.
Now ask what kind of sounds they hear around them. Ask them which sounds are pleasant and which
are unpleasant. Conclude that the sounds which produce pleasant sensation in our ears are pleasant
sounds and unpleasant sounds are noise.
Development
Activity 1
Divide the class into groups and ask the students to discuss in each group: Why do we like to go to
quiet places?
After 5 minutes, ask one student from each group to state the main points of discussion.
Write the answers of the students on the board such as:
We can sleep well in quiet places.
We can study
We can think better
We can talk with each other
Then ask the students to discuss again in groups: What do we feel in noisy places? You may create a
noisy place by playing a recorded cassette of busy road traffic.
After 5 minutes, ask one student from each group to state important points of discussion.
Write the students’ comments on board such as:
We can’t sleep due to noise
We can’t study due to noise
We can’t hear each other well when there is noise.
It may cause headache.
It may damage ears.
Ask the students groups to comment one by one: should we avoid noise? How and why?
Conclude the topic after their comments.
Step 1:
Then ask the first student to take the chair further away from the classroom and make a sound with
the bottle again.
Then ask the class: Do you hear a low or high sound this time?
Step 3:
Ask the students; close all the windows and doors of classroom.
Ask the first student to carry the chair inside the classroom again and strike the bottle against the
chair.
Then ask the class students, do you hear a low or high sound now?
(Draw out the conclusion that: The greater the distance between the source of noise and listener, the less is
the noise. In a closed room the noise increases due to reflections from the walls, ceiling and floor).
Activity 3
Draw the following table on the board and ask the students to tell about their noise effects and ways
to reduce them and write the correct answers in the boxes.
Noise Its Effects Ways to reduce it
Loud TV
volume
Horns
Loud
speaker
Traffic
sounds
Street
hawkers
Students’ response:
Ask students: What you have learned from the lesson? And write their answers on the board.
The voice which doesn’t feel good to our ears is a noise.
Noise may cause a headache.
We can’t study in noise.
The noise may damage our ears.
We can reduce noise.
By increasing green area/tree plantation around sources of noise such as factories, motorways,
railways and airports.
Building industrial area, railway stations and airports away from the towns.
Avoiding the use of loud speakers.
Avoiding excessive use of vehicle horns.
We can reduce noise pollution in our community by awareness campaigns for the people.
Assessment
Different type of problems do you face due to the noise when you are in school, at home and on the
road?
Ask the students to make posters showing the noise sources and their effects.
Launch a campaign in your locality to make the people aware of noise pollutants, their effects on our
health and the ways to reduce noise pollution.

LESSON PLAN 01
MATH (Grade 9-10)
Drawing Nets of 3 Dimensional Objects
Age Range:
Grade 9 through Grade 12 (High School)
Overview and Purpose:
Students will be able to use concrete materials to help them understand the concept of nets. Being able to take
an object and spread it out flat is much easier to see in concrete terms rather than in the abstract.
Objective:
The student will be able to draw a net of three different objects. Two of those objects will be able to be laid flat
and one will not.
Resources:
One cereal box for each pair of students (cut off the six overlapping tabs, three on each end)
One ice cream cone wrapper (with the lid taped onto part of it) for each pair of students
One short round candle for each pair of students
Math journals
Activities:
Discuss that a net is a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional object. Give each pair of students a
cereal box, ice cream cone wrapper, and a candle. Have them unroll the ice cream wrapper so that it lays flat.
Explain that this is a net. If they close the wrapper back up it makes a cone. Have them sketch the net in their
math journals.
Have the students work with their partner to turn the cereal box into a net and sketch it in their math journals.
Point out that six of the extra flaps are missing since they overlap on the ends.
Explain that often you have to visualize what the net will look like since things cannot be laid flat. Have them
try to do this by sketching the net of the candle in their math journals. Come back together and have some
students show their drawings. Make sure they included the ends of the candle in their nets.
Age Range:
Grade 9 through Grade 12 (High School)
Overview and Purpose:
Students will use hands-on activities to practice measuring square footage. They will have to take into account
varying factors and make adjustments for them. This activity gets them out of the classroom and allows for a
more informal teaching style.
Objective:
The student will be able to calculate the square footage of a given area.
Resources:
Teacher created worksheet
Tape measures
Activities:
Using a teacher created worksheet take students to different areas of the school and have them solve problems
for square footage. Three examples are below.
1. Have students calculate the amount of concrete necessary to put a three foot wide sidewalk around a modular
building on campus or around a common grassy area.
2. Have students calculate the amount of carpet needed to cover the cafeteria if they need to leave a 2 foot band
of tile all the way around.
3. Have students calculate the amount of space needed to put a swimming pool on the property with a 3 foot
deck all around.
Come back together in class and discuss any problems the students had or suggestion of things next year's class
could measure.
Closure:
Being able to figure out square footage is a skill the student will use their whole lives. This lesson gives them
hands-on activities to let them practice that skill. Extension activities could include measuring rooms at home or
creating their own word problems for other students to solve.
LESSON PLAN 03
Age Range:
Grade 9 through Grade 12 (High School)
Overview and Purpose:
Students will be able to apply percentages to real life situations by figuring the amount of income tax that will
be withheld from a salary. Students will learn about credit and credit scores. They will learn what will impact
their scores and what will help their scores. Make sure the students will learn about all the aspects of credit, and
that they will be able to make informed decision regarding credit.
Objective:
The student will be able to
*calculate how much they will pay in federal, state, and local income tax for a year when they are paid for
doing their dream job.
*Research salary information on the Internet.
Students will understand the concept of credit
They will understand the concepts of a credit score.
They will learn the importance of having good credit.
Concept of interest, and learn how to analyze interest.
Resources:
Internet access
Tax percentages for your area
Math journals
Calculators (optional)
Activities:
1. Open by asking if any of the students have a credit card. If not ask if their parents have credit cards, and if
they understand how they work.
2. Next write these words on the board: Credit, credit card, credit risk, interest, APR, and credit limit. Make sure
I discuss this with the class in detail.
3. Explain how credit cards work. Explain to them how the interest works if they do not pay off the balance of
the card when it is due.
4. Discuss the difference between credit cards, debit cards, and cash. Explain how each of them work.
5. Ask how banks make decisions on if they want to offer you credit.
Begin a discussion about credit scores, how lenders use them, and what makes up an individual's credit score.
Explain that a credit score is a number calculated using a number of different variables. The resulting score
Uses properties and relationships of geometric shapes to construct formal and informal proofs.
1. Describe to students how to measure angles. (See #1 on Angles and Algebra Examples) Answer student
questions and comments.
2. Ask the students to find the degree measure of ABC and CBD. Then have the students to find the sum of
ABC and CBD. Go over the definition of supplementary angles. (See #2 on Angles and Algebra Examples)

LESSON PLAN 13
MATH (Grade 9-10)
Area, Arithmetic and Algebra
Objectives:
To show how area of rectangles and squares can motivate the learning of
multiplication rules for certain binomials, specifically:
(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
(x + y)(x - y) = x2 - y2
To show those teaching upper-grade math and high school first year math how
their students can perform arithmetic based on these identities.
Materials:
Cardboard demonstration set for the teacher (with magnetic tape backing) and
printed sets of squares and rectangles for students to examine and re-arrange at
their desks. Prepare packets of pre-cut squares and rectangles, one for each
student.
Two of each square will be needed for each student packet: one left whole and
one cut along the heavy lines into the four rectangles. The teacher will need a
similar set of materials, very much enlarged and made of heavier paper
("tagboard" is ideal). In addition, prepare a set of the four cut rectangles
very much enlarged. They must be on heavier still cardboard and backed with
magnetic strip material to adhere to typical metallic base chalkboards. The
teacher's uncut square should be pre-folded along the heavy vertical and
horizontal lines.
Strategy:
Review the area formula for a rectangle. Immediately have students remove the
four small rectangles and arrange them to form a large square. How many
different arrangements can they find -- rotations and reflections are
"different" in this case? Sketch each arrangement in a student's notebook.
Find the area of every large square by adding up areas of the four components.
Encourage students to confirm this identity:
Challenge: Using as many of the small pieces as needed, ask students to create
a rectangle whose measurements are 8 x 16. Sketch the arrangement they
discovered, and, as before, try to discover and sketch as many different
arrangements as possible. Calculate the total area by adding the components.
The student will note that all but the small square were used in the second
rectangle:
The teacher should duplicate these arrangements with the large magnetized
rectangles on the chalkboard. The algebraic identity here demonstrated is:
Second challenge: Have students take the larger square from their packet and
fold it along the vertical line. The left side is now a rectangle whose
measurements are 8 x 12. But it consists of two rectangles: 4 x 8 and 8 x 8.
Thus they have shown that 8 X 12 = 8 X 4 + 8 X 8. So they have proved that
Performance Assessment:
While students are working on this project, either individually or in pairs, the
teacher circulates, assesses performance visually and gives hints, commendations
or other encouragements (via adroit questions). Later, notebooks themselves
will be graded for completeness and accuracy. Ultimately knowledge will be
"assessed" via customary pencil and paper tests. [Ruth Mitchell-type global
assessment techniques do not seem cost effective for this unit.]
This unit was inspired by a conference table discussion with Porter Johnson. In
fact none of these techniques is really new; they are frequently re-discovered
in many different places at widely different times by creative teachers inspired
to improve textbook versions of "the method."
Multicultural Dimensions:
Geometry is not the exclusive possession of any culture in any historical era
ancient or modern. All peoples who had concerns with land and its measurement
or with calendars developed appropriate geometrical principles. Similarly with
arithmetic: Counting and rudimentary computing were known to all peoples,
ancient or modern, no matter what geographical location. None was limited by
"culture" in matters of commerce; rather our current awareness or ignorance is
a function of the available historical record and its readability. It is
pointless to try to ascribe primacy or originality to any cultural group.
Algebra was a European inheritance which came most directly from the
Mediterranean Moorish (Muslim/Islamic) civilizations. They, in turn certainly
drew from the ancient Greek, Hindu and African civilizations. Every
civilization refines and improves what it inherits.
