Spanish Reader's Theater--La Gallinita Roja (The Little Red Hen)
Reader's Theater is a great tool for building fluency in reading. As a bilingual educator I have found that Spanish reader's theater is a valuable tool to get Spanish language learners to practice their oral development. Although I have used these scripts in my First grade classroom, they would also work well for secondary Spanish classes.
The Little Red Hen is easy to follow with its repetitive phrases and familiar storyline. This reader's theater is an excellent way for students who are lear

Dystopia Vs. Utopia Genre Introduction (The Giver, Hunger Games, 1984, etc.)
My students love this lesson. They learn how societies can be oppressive, read about different types, and then create their own laws to see how they can become oppressive. This lesson provides students with an introduction to the characteristics of a dystopia and dystopia genre. It begins by contrasting utopia vs dystopia, continues with 3 examples of societies (2 dystopian, 1 utopian) and has students underline the characteristics, and ends with students creating their own well-intentioned l

Fahrenheit 451 Part One Reading Quiz ("The Hearth and the Salamander")
I searched high and low for a basic, close reading test that would simply show me whether students did their outside-of-class reading of FAHRENHEIT 451, and I found that none existed that met my needs (detailed + easy to grade). I was not striving for higher order thinking...just a basic, Accelerated-Reader-type quiz that would demonstrate completion of the assigned reading. The higher order thinking questions come out after my students have completed the reading--through Socratic Seminar. Thu

Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt
I love William Shakespeare. I love the language, the time-period he lived in, and the timeless themes that his plays have. I tend to teach a lot of Shakespeare. I like to do the Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt in my school’s library but you can do it in the computer lab as well. It’s just a basic series of questions about Shakespeare and his time-period. I like to have my students go to the library because it gives them a chance to move around. Doing a scavenger hunt like this is also more fun than j
