The Monkey's Paw Simplified Text for Struggling Readers, EC, ESOL
I love teaching "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs, but the complexity of its language left some of my struggling readers (particularly my exceptional learners and my ESOL students) unable to fully access the story. So I rewrote the story for them! It's a full 2 pages (still a respectable reading length for a middle schooler.) It still hits all the same plot points as the original so students who use the simplified can still answer questions about the story just like their classmates. My vers

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
