Great Moments in Education: the "Twilight" Lesson Plan

Oh, brother. Apparently kids these days can't read, write, or do math, so here's a lesson plan that includes the following (after the teacher divides the classes into 3 groups -- Team Edward and Team Jacob, natch, and 1 Team Bella):

Ask the Team Edward and Team Jacob groups to come up with a short presentation about why Bella would be better off with their character. They should provide clear evidence and consider the following questions, among others (feel free to add your own prompts):

1. How did your character treat Bella?
2. What impact did your character have on Bella’s emotions and on her life in general?

Team Bella can prepare an argument about why they believe neither guy is worth Bella’s time. Like the other groups, they should be ready to provide evidence.

After each group makes its presentation, allow the opposing group to challenge with questions and debate.

Are you serious?!
