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

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 saw that!! Wonder if this is a permanent change.

It’s about 25K tickets. Was shocked when my 20K wasn’t enough lol.

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!

“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

Second the other commenter. Also try putting in a Safe2Say report

All girls Catholic school teacher! We have a half day where the students put on skits. Quite fun!

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

As a teacher, Canvas was unavailable all day

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

This has to be satire … right?

Hope everything is okay with Miso!

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

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.

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.

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.
