I recently learned about two new (to me, at least) sources for excellent and free lesson plans.

The first is Read Inquire Write from The University of Michigan.  They have many social studies lessons, that are also accessible to ELLs.

The second site was created by legendary musician and actor Steven Van Zandt. It’s called Teach Rock, and here’s how it’s describe on the site:

Launched by Stevie Van Zandt with the Founders Board of Bono, Jackson Browne, Martin Scorsese, and Bruce Springsteen, Teachrock.org has provided free, standards-aligned resources to help teachers, students, and families succeed for more than a decade.

TeachRock improves students’ lives by bringing the sound, stories, and science of music to all classrooms. From The Beatles to Beyoncé, from kindergarten to AP History, in the classroom or remotely, TeachRock offers meaningful lesson plans all at no cost to teachers, students, and families, inspiring deeper learning and understanding through the power of music.

Here’s a video about it:

I’m adding both of these sites to The Best Places To Find Free (And Good) Lesson Plans On The Internet.
