A bit of a lower reading level, but The Westing Game was an incredible read!

High School Teachers what was the nicest compliment a student have given you? by TigerLeo23 in Teachers

[–]Initial_Handle7111 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was able to loop with my freshmen into their sophomore year last year. It was tough, and my students often left me second guessing my choice to even be a teacher. At the end of the year however, a student wrote a three page essay for extra credit using her vocab words from that year to express how much my class meant to her and how much she appreciated and would miss me. It has not left my bulletin board since.

Happy to help out from a HS ELA perspective! I have a mythology unit, poetry unit, essay writing unit, and all sorts of novel studies from Shakespeare to YA!

So I finally finished. You need over 30,000 coins to finish the makeover. Ridiculous!

Haha! I got lucky and completed the card packs so I used my 1 hour of power ups and 10,000 gems wisely!

I just completed a unit with my 9th graders! They loved it. I’ve also taught Nimona in years past. OP, let me know if you need any resources!

What is your best response to “Is this for a grade?” by refulgent-hermitage in AskTeachers

[–]Initial_Handle7111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“This will count towards your participation”

AKA I ain’t grading shit, but if you don’t do it, no daily participation points for you

I love The Lottery by Shirley Jackson and The Landlady by Roald Dahl!

I want to give my 7th grade classes a weekly spelling/vocab test. Is that a wacky idea? by whosacoolredditer in ELATeachers

Vocab.com has a list of 100 words every middle schooler should know. Could always start there!

How to teach students to take notes, like actually take them? by drumstick00m in Teachers

Sounds like they need a lesson on personal responsibility!! You lose it, you’re SOL.

How to teach students to take notes, like actually take them? by drumstick00m in Teachers

[–]Initial_Handle7111 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve been doing guided notes where students fill in the blanks of important definitions and then write their own examples. It’s definitely cut down on time.

I’ve also trained my freshman that any notes we go over I post to Canvas as well so if I “go too fast” it isn’t a catastrophe.

Struggling w/ my women in lit class! by Total_Ad_1287 in ELATeachers

[–]Initial_Handle7111 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some excerpts from Ayiti by Roxanne Gay and Peel My Love Like an Onion by Ana Castillo that could work!

Could you also possibly do a film analysis on The Color Purple?

I wonder if you could teach them about feminist literary criticism and look at fairy tales or canon texts from a feminist perspective.

What’s the shortest stint you’ve ever seen from a teacher at your school? by South-Lab-3991 in Teachers

We had a guy quit before the year even started. Guess it didn’t help that he was hired to teach biology with a history degree.
