A Midsummer Night's Dream by Shakespeare Interactive Unit Bundle Google Slides
A Midsummer Night’s Dream is the PERFECT play to introduce students to the Bard! It is absolutely hilarious (oh, the puns!) and eases students into Shakespearean diction and syntax. I love transforming my classroom into an enchanted forest and dressing my students up in fairy wings, donkey heads, and Athenian garb! However, if I’m honest...TEACHING Shakespeare as a first year teacher was a DRAG. I got “Is this even English?!” a lot. Students had heard Shakespeare was boring and difficult, so th

One of These Days - Close Reading & Writing Prompt
One of These Days, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, is the true image of a short story. Less than three pages and under 1000 words, yet packed with so much action. As such, it can be devoured in a single class period by any middle school or high school class. I started making this resource with my 8th grade class in mind. For that reason, the marginal questions appear to be more surface level with the focus on imagery and characterization. However, the more I read and annotated myself, the more I real
