Biography Essay Rubric
A simple essay rubric that I use for biographies.In my school my students can sometimes be absent for longer periods of time, so I generally assign them mini-research projects/essays where I can be a little bit more indirect with the learning and not teach from a textbook. That being said, this rubric often can be used for English as well as History. It's a bit informal, but also creative at the same time, and I find it hits a lot of areas both subjects try to focus on.As with all of my products

The Scarlet Letter and Tone: The Almost Synesthesia Project
While I love The Scarlet Letter, sometimes it can be challenging to make older material relevant to our students. I love this project for so many reasons: it encourages students to engage deeply with selected text by close reading both language and sound; it challenges students to read, write, analyze, and listen; and it allows students to share personal style through their choice of song. This project can be applied to any text, but it works particularly well with The Scarlet Letter.
