Utopia vs. Dystopia Mini-Project
In this mini-project, students are introduced to the concept of utopian society while being equally exposed to the inverse -- the concept of dystopian society. I've used it before as an introductory piece before reading The Hunger Games to help give students a better understanding of what's in store regarding Panem (the country that the novel takes place in). I've also seen it be used by colleagues who have taught The Giver.This project is formatted as a Google Slide presentation and has student

Hip-hop Shakespeare Debate: Templates, Rubric, Research, Slides
I developed the Hip-hop Shakespeare Debate after thinking carefully about relevance for my students. This debate answers a question I struggled with for years: How can I get my students to authentically engage with Shakespeare's language and how language exposes cultural/societal norms? The Hip-hop Shakespeare debate not only addresses student relevance, it also engages students with the cognitively demanding, novel task of defending a hip-hop artist as "the Shakespeare of our time" with a defen

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.

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-

Measurement using How Tall How Short How Faraway?
I love to use literature books in my Math classroom as often as I can! How Tall How Short How Faraway by David Adler is a great book to use when introducing the measurement systems. In the book, he discuss how ancient mathematicians used body parts to measure things. Realizing that not everyone has the same size body parts led to a universal measurement system.

When they return to the classroom, I have the supplies to make a paper chain laid out on a table; they must make the chain in absolute silence. They take
