A 9 page paper providing plans for three lessons in language arts for eighth-graders. The plans address parts of speech using the Montessori approach; developing tongue twisters requiring prescribed parts of speech; and a study in adjectives. Practice and assessment material originates with history, specifically Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and Thomas Paine's "These are the times that try men's souls" quote from "The American Crisis" written in 1776. The plans follow Hunter's eight-step formula; the paper includes two assessment rubrics. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Hunter demonstrated that successful approaches to teaching and highly effective teachers shared common characteristics and components. The purpose here is to devise three lesson plans that follow Hunters eight-point
plan for an effective lesson. Madeline Hunters Lesson Cycle Robinson and Crawford (2004) report that the research of Dr. Madeline Hunter revealed that
effective teachers approached teaching in a methodical way. Regardless of "the teachers style, grade level, subject matter, or economic background of the students a properly taught lesson contained eight

* Modeling (show) - "The teacher shows in graphic form or demonstrates what the finished product looks like" (Robinson and Crawford, 2004); * Guided practice "(follow me) - The teacher
leads the students through the steps necessary to perform the skill using the trimodal approach - hear/see/do" (Robinson and Crawford, 2004); * Checking For Understanding (CFU) - The teacher actively
seeks feedback from students to assess their understanding of the concepts; * Independent practice - The students are able to practice the new concepts without the teachers supervision or input;
and * Closure - Review and assessment of students grasp of the lesson content (Robinson and Crawford, 2004). Lesson Plans 1. Parts of Speech
