DISTANCE LEARNING LESSONS

Overview

These lessons were created by Deerfield Teachers’ Center staff who worked with area teachers. The lessons meet Massachusetts History and Social Studies and English Language Arts frameworks and are designed to be taught by a teacher working from home or from an empty classroom. They are also appropriate for homeschoolers. There are plans to add more lessons, so please check back in periodically to see what’s new.

Each lesson has one or more PDF's for the lesson, as well as a PDF to be used as a slideshow. The PDF's are bundled together for each lesson in a Zip file for easier download (Click to download). They are also offered as individual downloads.
