Literature for Life is dedicated to offering high-level and creative curriculum for Language Arts and Visual Arts teachers. Our free curriculum is tailor-made to match each piece of writing from our library and is designed to help teachers fulfill California State Content Standards. We offer a selection of lesson plan ideas to meet a variety of classroom needs for middle and high school teachers. Our curriculum includes essay, poetry, and creative writing prompts, pairings for breathing life into classical literature, ideas for working with elements of literature and literary devices, and much more. We invite educators, students, writers, and artists to share their ideas with us so that we may share them with others.
