Sample High School English Language Arts lesson plan
A real plan Classly AI generated — copy it, remix it, or use it as a benchmark.
Students will analyze how an author's diction and syntax establish tone in a passage of literary nonfiction.
Compare two opening lines (one Didion, one Hemingway). Students annotate diction differences in 3 minutes.
- Visual: 'tone heatmap' — students color each paragraph by emotional register.
- Auditory: paired close-read — partners take turns reading and pausing at 'tonal shifts' to discuss.
- Kinesthetic: 'syntax surgery' — students rewrite one of the author's sentences three ways (short, rhythmic, fragmented) and discuss what each does to tone.
- Reading/Writing: write a 1-paragraph TAGS (tone, audience, genre, syntax) analysis of an assigned excerpt.
- Choose an op-ed from a major paper. Annotate 3 diction choices and 2 syntax choices, and write a paragraph on the resulting tone.
- Record a 90-second oral defense of your tone analysis without notes.
Why this works: AI-resistant assignments anchor the task in a place, person, or process ChatGPT can't reach.
Name today's author's tone in one word. Cite one piece of diction and one syntactic choice that produce it.
