The Whittier Home Association in Amesbury, MA has published a free curriculum guide to the the poet. It comes in three parts: Overview and Teacher Resource Materials, Classroom Activities, and Map and Walking Tour. Here's what they have to say about it:
The Whittier Home Association is pleased to introduce Teaching Whittier, a FREE three-part resource designed to facilitate and promote a connection between schools, the local community and the Whittier House through engaging, historically relevant and fun educational programming. Presented as downloadable PDFs, the curriculum as a whole offers a variety of activities, lesson-plan supplements, and materials for use in a classroom setting and/or on a site visit.
Worksheets, ideas and projects can be used as building blocks to a field trip at the Whittier House or stand-alone as complimentary curriculum-based materials and information. All parts of the curriculum are meant to encourage active learning and further investigation into the life and times of John Greenleaf Whittier.
