There's a special place here in the TPS Teachers Network where you'll find high quality lessons developed by teachers from the TPS Northern Virginia Partnership. It's a public group - Virginia Partnership Lesson Plans and Activities - that invites members from across the Network to join freely. Every lesson uploaded by the Partnership leaders, 
Sherry Levitt
and 
Cynthia Szwajkowski
, is filled with Library of Congress primary sources.
Of special interest to English/Language Arts teachers are three lessons for commonly taught texts:
The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald (lesson plan by 
Madelyn Stephens
)
Night, by Elie Wiesel (lesson plan by 
Danyele Magretta
, designed for English Language Learners)
The Handmaid's Tale, by Margaret Atwood (lesson plan by 
Pam Miles
)
Other lessons have strong connections to literary texts in need of historical contextualization.

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.
