Choose an Operation Readers Theater
Do your students struggle with choosing between addition and subtraction while reading word problems? When I noticed that students in my class really loved reading plays and were stronger at reading than in math, I created this activity to show the connection between the two subject areas. I believe that by stretching out a word problem into a play, students are better able to internalize the actions that are taking place in the problem and can make a better plan to solve.

Personal Narrative: Blueprinting Places and Memories
This assignment allows students to draw, label, and reflect on a special place. I used this with HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, but it could be used for many literary works. This assignment can result in a personal narrative, an expository piece, or a persuasive piece (especially helpful for the STAAR EOC). My students wrote some amazing essays based on their blueprinting. I have seen this used in adult writing workshops; it is a powerful tool. Enjoy!

THE CHRYSALIDS -- John Wyndham
Knowledge is simply a kind of fuel; it needs the motor of understanding to convert it into power. ~John WyndhamYou are in for a thought-provoker with John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids. It’s a classic and its message even more relevant today than when it was first published in 1955 with Cold War tensions and rumours and fears of nuclear war. Might sound familiar given the current nightly news.I have taught the novel numerous times and every time it caught the interest of the students with its three-
