Ray Bradbury is best known for his science fiction literature, but his work isn't relegated to that genre alone. His historical fiction short story, "The Drummer Boy of Shiloh," is a great example of his flexibility, and it makes a perfect companion text for more famous literature on the topic like Stephen Crane's Red Badge of Courage or Ambrose Bierce's story, "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," which was actually adapted into a Twilight Zone episode.
This freebie includes two no-prep lesson plans for Bradbury's text: a discussion-based lesson or a close reading of the text. The strategies presented are engaging and adaptable. There's no prep work required. And either lesson would make a great emergency sub plan.
If you'd like, you can view the expanded versions of these plans on my blog. And you can find more free lesson plans at my Teachers Pay Teachers store.
