Maybe because it seems so true and so close today's time... I can see the confusion here. 😕⁠

Still trying to channel the winter temperatures here in Tennessee with my #firstchapterfriday book choice. Even though my hopes of a snow day are not coming true, I still think this chilling classic will be interesting to share with my junior honors students tomorrow. 🥶

Sharing a partial outfit today (I love a cardigan) and an amazing lesson that my seniors completed last week for #martinlutherkingjr and the Purpose of Education. After reading his essay by the same name and looking at a paired text from Pink Floyd, students made these "purpose bricks." A super talented student painted my brick wall backdrop! Lesson linked in bio. ☮️⁠

In this "Stopping by Woods" poetry lesson, you'll find an updated twist on a classic. This is a "cool" close reading lesson that teens will enjoy because of its modern music connection and ample opportunities for authentic discussion and collaboration. Its ultimate goal is for students to be able to recognize symbolism, delineate how theme develops, and analyze how two different texts can share the same theme. With the classic poem and modern song as the two texts, students will be able to make connections and see relevancy to their world as well. Lesson link in bio. ❄️⁠

Even though it has been 50-60 degrees lately, I'm still trying to channel the winter. So I decided to share The Shack with my juniors for #firstchapterfriday this week. I'm hoping the good v. evil plot archetype will appeal to them. If not that, then maybe the fact that it is widely popular, somewhat controversial, and a major motion picture. ⁠

I absolutely loved the lesson that my students have been working on the past two days for the new year back to school. We looked at a poem with a very appropriate theme for making resolutions and considering the world around us. And then we followed that up with a fun craft exercise to make text to self connections. I love their artwork. Link in bio.

It's probably tough to hear this, but it speaks truth. The new year equals a fresh start, and sometimes that means making tough choices in order to have the best mental and emotional health. Be honest with yourself, and if you need to break free, do. Here's to a healthy and happy 2020. ⁠

Welcome to 2020! What better time to review the proper procedure for teaching students to "focus in" on a text?!? My close reading strategy and annotating complete teaching pack is simple and effective for building strong readers. It's a perfect way to start the year back, and it's the perfect theme, too. Plus, the lesson now comes in traditional and digital formats. Check it out via the link in my bio. ⁠
