To begin, visit
www.seussville.com
By clicking on the “Educators” link on the navigation bar at the top of the page, you will arrive on a page that contains links to printables and activities, lesson plans, author studies, books, and so much more. There are tons of lesson plans available that accompany the Dr. Seuss books we all love and know, as well as activities you could use alongside the lesson plans. The lesson plans engage students in discussions about various topics that are present in his many books, including racism, greed, perseverance, and conservation. Often times, the messages are hidden in Dr. Seuss’ books, but they offer perfect opportunities to engage in group discussions with your students and discover the true meaning behind Dr. Seuss’ work.
Standards & Assessment
The standards and assessments you choose will be determined by the way you wish to use the resources available on this site. Each of Dr. Seuss’ books covers a variety of topics you could discuss with your students. As an example, we can look at Dr. Seuss’ famous book “The Lorax”. This website has a whole section dedicated to this book, called “The Lorax Project”. Go to www. seussville.com/loraxproject to learn more about it. 
It gives tons of information about conservation and helping endangered animals on Earth. This alone offers endless opportunities for discussions with your students about how we could conserve energy right in our own classroom, and how we can become more environmentally friendly. You could tie this into the 3 R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) as well. This part of the website does have a whole section dedicated to what you can do to help the planet, which is definitely something to look at with your students. If you wanted to discuss Earth’s resources, extinction, and conservation with your students, some standards that address this include:
- Grade 2: Life Science- Some kinds of individuals that once lived on Earth have completely disappeared, although they were something like others that are alive today.
- Grade 3: Earth and Space Science- Some of Earth’s resources are limited.
Again, the assessments are determined by the activities you choose to do with your students and the way you wish to utilize the resources this site has to offer.
