Virtual Tour InquiryLesson Plans
Participants in national teaching workshops at The Mark Twain House & Museum, supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities Landmarks of American History and Culture Program, have produced a number of lesson plans to assist their colleagues in teaching the life and works of Mark Twain.
Each link will take you to a shared Google Drive folder of lesson plans for that grade level. There are lessons available for English, History, Psychology, AP Literature, and ESL/ELL students, including many that are cross-curricular.
Support for the updating and publication of these lesson plans has been generously provided by the John and Kelly Hartman Foundation.
Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in these lesson plans do not necessarily represent those of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
