    I am not in the classroom so I will be “teaching” my lessons at the high school where I did my field experience observation. This high school is Dr. Michael M. Krop Senior High located in Dade county. The class I will be teaching consists of twelfth-grade British Literature honor students.

My unit will be focused around the short story, The Horse Dealer’s Daughter by D.H. Lawrence. I will be using this extraordinary piece of literature to aid the students in analyzing literature in the years to come. My three lessons will be based off of this short story. I will use this short story to help the students understand and define dynamic characters, to assist them in finding sensory imagery, symbols, and metaphors that speak to the creation of the setting, and to finally aid them in discussing ideology and how it relates to the modern day.…
