Sample Teaching Plans
These educational teaching plans were developed during Kent State University’s Summer 2021 workshop titled Making Meaning of May 4: The 1970 Kent State Shootings in US History. The workshop was supported by Kent State and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) grant program titled Landmarks of American History and Culture: Workshops for School Teachers.
These Teaching Plans are shared to promote understanding of the Kent State shootings on May 4, 1970; enhance humanities education across the disciplines; and illustrate the meaning of May 4 for today.
For more information about a specific Teaching Plan, please email kmurph15@kent.edu and include the Teaching Plan's title in your email - e.g., "2021 NEH Project [1]".
