D., President of the School of Expression, http://www.archive.org/details/spokenenglishmet00currrich, page 5455:] Observe as you read The Giant that all through the first six lines you feel fear and trembling, and your body seems weak. But when you take courage and look him in the face, your chest lifts and you grow taller. Courage is one of the noble emotions. Notice the word pride in the second stanza is used as courage, faith, or confidence in truth. Render the whole passage with feeling. Be convinced that there is no more important duty than that of showing courage and the looking of every gloomy and dark thought in the face. Lesson Plan: The Giant worksheet.

Lesson: [Book page 26-27] Elizabeth Barrett Browning PDF page 40-43 A Musical Instrument by

Note: [According to the essay by Samantha Lazar http://www.gradesaver.com/classicnotes/titles/elizabethbrowning/essay1.html:] When the poem begins, Pan is wreaking havoc upon pristine nature. However, his actions are couched in Barrett Browning's beautiful, lyrical poetry. Already the dichotomy between destruction and beauty is set up. In the first two stanzas Pan is destroying natural splendor, and not creating anything at all. He is "[s]preading ruin and scattering ban" (3), and "breaking the golden lilies" (5). However, the poetic, artistic elements of the poem rival the destruction, almost overshadowing it. The auditor is immediately immersed in Barrett Browning's evocative imagery, rife with adjectives describing the scene. The river has a "deep cool bed" (8), in which the once "limpid water" now runs "turbidly" (9). In addition to the imagery, the musical elements of the poem and the sounds of the words are captivating as well. Barrett Browning sets up a classical, idyllic scene. Nature is portrayed as utopian, as existing in a time before modern intrusions (intrusions perhaps symbolized by Pan's arrival on the scene - Morlier suggests that Barrett Browning's Pan "typifies a whole cluster of moral problems... in British culture" [261]). Reinforcing the classical setting is the poem's loose but generally dactylic meter, a favorite of classical poets, which compliments the already classical subject matter. Barrett Browning borrows even more from the classical poets like Ovid, who told this myth in his Metamorphoses, in her method of narration. There is no clear audience or designated speaker, but rather a semi-omniscient narrator who tells the story without worrying about a specific purpose for telling it. Barrett Browning's diction also adds to the classical feel of her poem as she uses archaic words like the frequent "sate" for "sat" and constructions often found in translations of Greek and Latin, like "nevermore again" (41) and the repeated phrase "the great god Pan." Barrett Browning carefully creates the musical feeling which thinly veils the destruction inherent in the action of the poem. Repetition and rhyme are major elements in the formation of this melodic quality. Each stanza follows an abaccb rhyme scheme, in which the second and sixth lines always end in the word "river," and the first line always ends in the phrase "the great god Pan." This phrase is emphasized both by its repetition and by the fact that it is made up of two iambs, whereas much of the rest of the poem is composed of dactyls. The repetition of this phrase and the evolution of its tone from conveying the traditional and straightforward idea of Pan at the beginning to bearing a troublingly ironic message

at the end traces and helps to communicate the growing question about the purity and virtuosity of art and the method by which it is created. Though the process of the pipe's creation is violent and distasteful, once it is completed it is wondrous. Pan animates the pipe by "[blowing] in power" (30), and all of nature's beauty is instantly restored: Sweet, sweet, sweet, O Pan! Piercing sweet by the river! Blinding sweet, O great god Pan! The sun on the hill forgot to die, And the lilies revived, and the dragon-fly Came back to dream on the river. Lesson Plan: A Musical Instrument worksheet.

Note: [Paraphrasing Afton Water by an 11-year-old girl http://www.worldburnsclub.com/schools/learning_resources/paraphrasing_of_afton_ water.htm:] This is a song written by Robert Burns, where the river flow's gently among the hills he dreams and praises. All the beauty of the countryside around Cumnock through which the river Afton flows. His thoughts are that Mary is sleeping next to the stream and don't disturb this dream. The stock-doves' sounds are heard around the glen. The blackbirds are whistling and chirping on the thorny bushes. The pleasant screaming of green crested lapwings he enjoys. I'm warning you don't wake her up. Daily the sweet neighbouring hills of the river Afton are always in Robert Burn's thoughts as he walk's along the banks of the river. There he thinks of the cottage where Mary was born. He then goes on: "How pleasant thy banks and green valleys below, Where wild in the woodlands the primroses blow; There oft as mild Ev'ning weeps over the lea, The sweet?scented birk shades Mary and me." His enjoyment was out in the country and thinking about the "Thy crystal stream Afton, how lovely it glides, And winds by the cot where my Mary resides; How wanton thy waters her snowy feet lave, As gathering sweet flowerets she stems thy clear wave. He wishes that his memories of the happy time he spent with Mary will linger as long as "Flow gently, sweet Afton, among thy green braes, Flow gently, sweet river the theme of my lays; My Mary's asleep by thy murmuring stream, Flow gently, sweet Afton, disturb not her dream!"

 Lesson: 25 Book Title: The Real McCoy (A Blue Ribbon Book) The Life of an African-American Inventor Book Info: Written by Wendy Towle Illustrated by Wil Clay Published by Scholastic Inc., 555 Broadway, New York, NY 10012 Copyright 1993 by Wendy Towle Link: http://www.amazon.com/Real-Mccoy-Blue-Ribbon-Book/dp/0590481029 and www.econed.org/html/lessons/data/The%20Real%20McCoy.pdf Category: prose essay Summary: Where did the expression the real McCoy come from? African American inventor Elijah McCoys successful design of an automatic oil cup may have inspired the popular phrase. This book introduces children to the life of the brilliant pioneer whose contributions to technology, science, and home are very much in evidence today. Lesson: The Real McCoy (A Blue Ribbon Book) The Life of an African-American Inventor Note: From Publishers Weekly Elijah McCoy (1844-1929), the child of escaped slaves, was born in Canada and educated in Scotland as an engineer during the Civil War. Settling in Michigan, he was able to find work only as a fireman, stoking the engines of a locomotive and oiling its parts. But his training was not wasted: he invented an automatic lubricator-possibly the original "real McCoy"--and went on to patent other devices, including the portable ironing board and the lawn sprinkler. He eventually founded the Elijah McCoy Manufacturing Company but never received his due for his work and died alone in a nursing home. First-time author Towle honors her subject's achievements while acknowledging his meager public recognition, while Clay tones down the dynamism he exhibited in Little Eight John to paint sturdy, luminous images of McCoy in action. McCoy himself provides a compelling example of 19th-century African American achievement in the face of discrimination; this respectful biography is a useful addition to library collections. ~Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.~ Reading Level Ages 9-12 Lesson Plan: Read The Real McCoy. Worksheet.
Worksheet answers: [Show You Know: (1) He had to lubricate the axles, bearings and other moving parts of the each railroad car every few miles and then race back to the firebox to do his duties as a fireman. (2) It helped to increase the productivity of the trains. Increasing productivity means producing more using the same or less amount of labor. The trains could travel from one place to another in less time because they didn't have to stop so often. Oilmen could spend their time doing other things. (3) The time it took to transport goods and the amount of workers needed to work on the trains were reduced. This would make the cost of transporting goods cheaper. The price of consumer goods would be cheaper. (4) While many people tried to imitate McCoys oil cup, train engineers could tell the difference. Because of this, they always asked for The Real McCoy.] [Old Expressions: (1o) (2k) (3e) (4f) (5l) (6n) (7g) (8i) (9m) (10b) (11c) (12a) (13h) (14p) (15j) (16d)]

Narrating the tale in a chatty if somewhat rambling voice, the family dog, Happy, explains that this man "raised his sons with a firm, loving hand... but a lot was goin' on that couldn't be explained." Actress, choreographer and producer Allen gives a familiar tale a hip spin as the brothers dance each night from one roof to the next to reach the Big Band Ballroom. There they swing till dawn, returning home with shoes "worn to threads, messed up, torn up, stinky, dirty, tacky, jacked up." Sunday, a sharp, attractive housekeeper with magical powers, discovers the siblings' secret, but she keeps mum, waiting instead until the kids themselves are ready to 'fess up to their dad. They don't and she quits, but all ends happily. Successfully capturing the energy of the swirling, twirling nighttime revelers, first-time children's book artist Nelson's sepia-toned illustrations possess the precision of line accorded to pen-and-inks, filled out with a full palette of oil paints. He's equally adept with the interiors of the church as with rooftop scenes of the boys whooping it up under starlit skies. A funky, fresh adaptation.

Lesson: 131 Book Title: I am a Dancer Book Info: as photographed by Jane Feldman published by Random House, New York www.randomhouse.com/kids - copyright 1999 by Jane Feldman Link: Category: Prose Essay Summary: Grade 4-7 Like the ballerina in Jill Krementz's A Very Young Dancer (Knopf, 1976; o.p.), 13-year-old Eva Lipman is the daughter of a former dancer and a student at the School of American Ballet in New York. While Krementz's book focuses on the dancer's experience in a particular performance, Feldman portrays Eva's everyday life, including her home, her family, and her friends. Readers will learn some behind-the-scenes details about how costumes are made and how dancers rehearse, but they will also see an ordinary teenager who wears braces and likes to shop. The full-color and black-and-white photographs of Eva with her parents and classmates capture the flavor of New York City, showing the girl shopping with her father and relaxing in her crowded studio apartment with her mother. Some of the photos, including several of Eva posing in Central Park wearing tutus that match the flowers, are almost too precious, contributing to the fairy-tale image of a ballerina, but Eva's first-person narrative also discusses the hard work and discipline involved in dancing. An attractive, up-to-date photo-essay that will appeal to budding dancers who want a glimpse of a real ballerina's life. Lesson: Note: Lesson Plan: I am a Dancer worksheet.

This process is central to the society, designed so that no one will feel inferior to anyone else. This is overseen by the United States Handicapper General, Diana Moon Glampers. Harrison Bergeron, the protagonist of the story, has exceptional intelligence, height, strength and beauty. As a result of this he has to bear enormous handicaps.

Despite these societal handicaps, he is able to invade a TV station and declare himself emperor. He strips himself of his handicaps, then dances with a ballerina whose handicaps he has also discarded. Both are shot dead by the brutal and relentless Handicapper General. The story is framed by an additional perspective from Bergeron's parents, who are watching the incident on TV, but because of their handicaps cannot concentrate enough to remember it.
