Elements of Poetry Unit High School: Poetry Terms & Elements, Literary Analysis
Need your students to understand how poetic elements create meaning in a text? So often, students are able to identify and define, but they don’t fully understand why literary elements are important or why they are such an essential part of literature. The kind of instruction that focuses on memorizing definitions kills the joy in literature and only serves to make students see English class as a boring waste of time.But when students understand that literary devices are a wonderful way to add

Twelfth Night Bullying, Deception, & Love | Shakespeare Unit | Editable Handouts
Tired of students groaning and rolling their eyes whenever they hear the word “Shakespeare”? Reading a Shakespeare play is challenging for students—but flashy handouts and cute classroom decor will not teach your students the skills they need to read, understand, or enjoy the Bard's work independently.When students misbehave, put their heads on their desks, or just stare vacantly into the distance, it’s not because they aren’t capable of understanding the Bard—it’s because they are aren’t given

Harlem Renaissance Activities: Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes, Art & Music
Tired of superficial resources on the Harlem Renaissance that just go through the motions when it comes to adding diversity to your plans? So often, in an attempt to study more than dead white males, teachers seek out texts by people of color. But lacking the time or energy to really engage in the research required to plan a great unit, they incorporate a few lackluster biographies and add some short pieces to their plans and leave it at that. The addition of those inane powerpoints, superficial

Want to utilize your students’ love of dystopian fiction to keep them engaged and get them thinking about how they can make a difference in their worlds?Dystopian fiction is lots of fun—it’s imaginative, creative, and innovative.

Harlem Renaissance | Zora Neale Hurston "Sweat" | High School Short Story Unit
This widely-anthologized story of a hardworking washerwoman and her abusive husband is a deceptively simple tale of good and evil, suffering and redemption, and reaping what you sow. However, when read in the context of the many biblical allusions in the story as well as the African American Spiritual, the seemingly-straightforward story becomes much more nuanced and complex. This fascinating mini unit will take your students through recordings of Zora Neale Hurston singing songs she learned th
