As school communities come back together, we invite students to think about what they’ve experienced, how they have changed — and what’s important about who they are now.
This teaching guide, part of our eight-unit writing curriculum, includes daily writing prompts, lessons based on selected mentor texts, and the announcement of a new personal narrative essay contest.
This unit invites students to write about food and fashion, movies and music, books and buildings for a global audience. It features writing prompts, mentor-text lesson plans and a culminating contest.
Via photographs, recipes, art, a podcast interview and more, students use The Times to explore the history, traditions and significance of the holiday.
In this lesson, students will explore a 3-D model of historical Greenwood — home of “Black Wall Street” — and then learn about how a white mob destroyed a prosperous Black community 100 years ago.
In this lesson, students will use the New York Times archive to learn about immigration laws from 1882 to 1986. Then they will make connections to today.
