More than just roots! The Best Way to Teach Vocabulary - Morphology
Did you know that 20 prefixes account for 97% of all word prefixes? Did you know that 16 suffixes account for 87% of all word suffixes?As a nineteen-year English educator, I can honestly say that I have never enjoyed teaching vocabulary...until now.

Teach Characterization with Video Clips (Disney, Pixar, etc.)
By middle school, students should begin to develop skills in analyzing author craft. One of the easiest ways to introduce kids to the "craft moves" an author makes is through teaching characterization. The reality is that kids already understand this literary term on some level because they unconsciously pick up on all of the clues that an author or a text (be it book, movie, music video, or tv show) provides the audience. We inherently form judgements about characters as we engage with a text.T

Character/Suspect Chart Murder on the Orient Express
I designed this for my students as we're reading Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie, to help them keep track of all of the characters and the various pieces of evidence throughout the text. This was designed for an 8th grade class, but could be used for grades 6th-12th, depending on the reading level of the students. Murder on the Orient Express is a great book, but might be too advanced (in terms of vocabulary) for some middle school students.
