This prezi tells the story of Emmett Till, a young black boy who was viciously murdered in the Jim Crow south and whose confessed murderers were freed by an all-white jury. I use it as part of my introduction to To Kill a Mockingbird, but it would be great for any novel that deals with social justice, a history class, or a discussion of what sorts of events inspired the Civil Rights Movement (Rosa Parks cited Emmett Till as a reason that she refused to give up her seat on the bus).

AP Lit Prose Essay Prompt on The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin
This is an AP Lit prose essay prompt on "The Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin. This is a great prompt because it is asking what is only implied, which students have difficultly identifying in a short story like "The Story of an Hour" since nothing is directly stated in the story. The students have a hard time identifying what is implied in the story, which I find is a great teaching opportunity.I have included my annotations of the story as well as an outline.

Alexander Pope's "The Rape of the Lock"; A NEED-TO-KNOW Handout
This handout focuses on what your students, especially those college-bound or in college, need to know about Pope’s “The Rape of the Lock.”
Its fill-in-the-blanks format, largely text-based, has your students analyze the historical background of the poem, its themes, structure, mock-epic genre, and stylistic features.
The handout begins by stressing that “rape” in the title meant “theft” in Pope’s time, not that horrible crime in its modern sense, which does not occur in the poem.
However,

Importance of learning English language arts
English language arts (ELA) concepts — reading, writing, listening, and speaking — empower students to become effective communicators, critical thinkers, and lifelong learners.

Strong reading skills can help students make sense of written content, and gather information for further analysis. Writing skills can help students articulate their ideas, construct arguments, and synthesize information. And speaking and listening skills empower students to clearly present their ideas, participate in group discussions, and collaborate with their classmates. This is why teaching English language arts is critically important for student’s success in school and beyond.
