This piece shifts their focus from negativity in order to focus on all of the things that they have to be thankful for - even the things we typically take for granted!

Journalism - Missed Deadline - Student Reflection

Created by

Electric ELA

One of the most important aspects of Journalism is timeliness. Students need to know that deadlines matter. This is a reflection that I make my students complete if they miss a deadline. It puts the ownership of their time management in their court.I also require that they complete this reflection before I allow my editors to assign them another story.If this reflection isn't thoughtful and representative of their future accountability, their grade is impacted.It's a passive approach that once p

Created by

Author Roxanna Elden's Teacher Resources

A few years into my teaching career, a friend who managed a grocery store recommended a book called Why We Buy: The Science of Shopping. The premise of the book caught my attention; it hadn’t occurred to me that the layout of stores might be purposely set up—often with the help of high-priced consulting companies—to pull me in farther, keep me there longer, and make me more likely to walk out with items that I hadn’t thought I needed. But there was an unexpected side benefit to reading the book.

Teach For Equity

Now is the time to help our youth think critically about their decisions with respect to social media and screen time. There is alarming evidence as to the disadvantages of endless screentime, but we can work to reverse the trends by helping students make more conscious decisions about their habits, time management, screen time habits, and more. Often time our students are consumed by screen time, and it ends up minimizing their more social time, family time, educational time, ability to empathi

Two decades later it was adapted for a movie, though. Some of the techniqu
