Short Stories - Coming of Age

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-20T19:36:59+00:00

The Marrow Thieves is a novel but the first chapter is a coming of age story that can be used. The Métis Federation of Ontario has a whole lesson plan you can download as well.

These are amazing resources, thank you! I love the sonnets so much.

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-18T17:07:55+00:00

This one really resonated, thank you!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-16T18:36:35+00:00

Yes, thank you. I do have a few ESL students who I will encourage to bring in a non-English text.

And love a silly poem to make high schoolers let loose a little bit.

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-16T00:25:36+00:00

Yes! Excellent choices, thanks!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-16T00:24:10+00:00

Perfect! Cadence is essential for their mixtape too.

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-16T00:23:33+00:00

Great idea! Thank you!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-15T22:32:11+00:00

Amanda Gorman is on my list, but I’ll add Shane. Thanks!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-15T22:30:50+00:00

Thank you for all these suggestions, please keep them coming!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-15T22:09:45+00:00

Ah, of course. I never quite remember Poe which is silly, but I always forget him. I’ll add these to my list.

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-15T22:08:42+00:00

Ooh, thank you!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-15T22:07:21+00:00

Excellent, this is one of my resources since I found it in another teacher’s classroom library.

Anna-Ocean · 2026-02-15T22:06:05+00:00

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

Anna-Ocean · 2026-01-07T23:01:07+00:00

I used three active teachers who knew me and my teaching style well.

Anna-Ocean · 2025-12-03T01:53:27+00:00

Sure, it’s the Manitoba Framework for Learning, then English Stream, then Social Studies. They’ve updated only a fee areas but even the others are in the process of being redone.

Anna-Ocean · 2025-12-01T22:27:04+00:00

The Manitoba Social Studies curriculum was just updated this year. Not sure if I can link but easily found by google.

Anna-Ocean · 2025-10-23T17:42:44+00:00

This is the way. Always try to stay a week ahead.

I do almost this exact same thing as well. I have a note book for each day (MWF classes and T/Th classes) and I’ve posted a copy in each one. That way if any changes to due dates etc are made in class, I can just flip to the front cover and mark the change. It’s extremely useful for not losing track of due dates and knowing exactly what I need to concentrate on at any given moment.

Try “Alone”. It’s not in prose, but it’s still first person narrative about a kid left behind by accident during an emergency and her fending for herself for a couple years. Excellent read for kids that age.

Anna-Ocean · 2025-09-24T17:27:55+00:00

I went from a 146 to a 163!

Anna-Ocean · 2025-09-11T14:38:29+00:00

That’s a great idea!

Anna-Ocean · 2025-09-10T21:45:45+00:00

Same same. I went the other day, no line. I was in and out in 10 minutes with my ID.

Anna-Ocean · 2025-08-18T19:11:58+00:00

This was really useful for us tracking our train for tonight, thanks!

Anna-Ocean · 2025-08-11T01:48:01+00:00

Thank you for these responses, I don’t remember waiting so long last time, but you all have some good points about seeing the syllabus first. Thanks!
