Daily Lesson Plans in English

About the author

Caroline Stearns Griffin was born on February 1, 1868, in Exeter, New Hampshire, and died on August 2, 1944. The sources available for her today are fairly brief, but they consistently identify her as an American educator and connect her life to New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Her surviving books suggest a writer deeply involved in teaching. Titles linked to her include Daily Lesson Plans in English (published in 1914), Esperanto in Twenty Lessons (1907), The Young Folks' Book of Etiquette, Little Primary Pieces for Wee Folks to Speak, and Hints and Helps from Many School-Rooms. Together, these works point to a practical, school-centered career focused on language, behavior, and classroom use.

What stands out most is the range of readers she served. Some of her books were meant for teachers looking for ready-to-use material, while others were written for children and young people. Even from the small record that remains, she comes across as a clear, purposeful writer who wanted learning to be organized, useful, and accessible.
