Women’s Lives
Grade 12
Submitted by Mark Klecan, Franklin K. Lane High School, Brooklyn, NY
The lesson plans in this unit are conceived of as a part of a larger unit on women’s lives. After reading several texts, visual artworks related to the same theme will be explored, with the goal that students’ overall understanding will be deepened. Throughout, the connection between literature and art will be emphasized. Literary terms practiced for the Comprehensive Examination in English will be applied to the visual arts in order to strengthen and solidify them.
