Abridged and Modified Macbeth Side-by-Side Text and Questions / 60 pgs
Macbeth was the first Shakespeare play I ever taught, and it helped me appreciate how much fun your students can have while acting out a drama in the classroom.However, this experience also helped me understand what aspects of a Shakespearean drama frustrate students and teachers.

What is McCarthyism? And How Did it Happen? Listening Guide / Google Ready + PDF
What is McCarthyism? And How Did it Happen, a video on TED-Ed by Ellen Schrecker, is a great tool for helping students build context for McCarthyism and the Red Scare. In my classroom, I use this in preparation for reading Arthur Miller's The Crucible. However, sometimes my students need some help being active listeners and following along in a meaningful way, so I made this listening guide to walk students through the video from beginning to end.

I feel this acutely with Julius Caesar, which I read with sophomores.For these reasons, I created an abridged and modified version of Julius Caesar. Every scene has been condensed. Essential but complicated words and ideas have been footnoted. Less essential but complicated words or phrases have been modified.Plus, I ha
