Fahrenheit 451 Reading Checks & Reading Quizzes
While my students read a piece of literature, I give them "Reading Checks" to hold them accountable for the reading. These questions are not designed to be "tricky" or difficult. They exist only as a means to check whether or not students read the assigned pages; therefore, they are 100% plot questions. I use these questions to make sure students are on the same page (literally) and are ready to move beyond plot into analysis during class activities. As a side note, reading check grades are

Move Beyond P-I-E and Get the Receipt: A Better Way to Teach Author's Purpose
Let me make a confession: A few years ago, I got very invested in the drama between Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian. For me, one of the biggest take aways from that drama was the phrase "Show me the receipts." I'd heard my students talk about "receipts" before, but something about the Kanye-Taylor drama really made that phrase memorable to me. As a teacher, I turned that phrase over in my mind. Where are the receipts in the English classroom? Well, when students are looking for auth
