Teacher-submitted lesson plans and activities

Over the years, numerous teachers have shared with us their lessons, activities and games on Ayn Rand’s novels that have worked particularly well in their classrooms. Here you will have a chance to see how your fellow teachers approach teaching these novels. You will also have the opportunity to share your own ideas.

All lessons displayed here/in are done so with the expressed permission of each teacher.

Anthem
The Fountainhead
Atlas Shrugged

If you have a lesson or activity you would like to share on this site, please email education@aynrand.org and include it in either in the body of the text or as a Word document. Submitting a lesson is not a guarantee that it will be posted. Thank you!
