Valentine's Day Activities, Hot Topics Informational Text, Does True Love Last?
Looking for a thoughtful, quick, and creative close reading lesson for Valentine's Day that covers several standards for your middle or high school students?

Paragraph Writing Practice: Topic & Conclusion Sentences
I created this sheet to give my students an opportunity to practice writing topic and conclusion sentences, which I realized were often missing from their writing.
In the beginning, I use the familiar analogy of a cheeseburger, explaining that the topic/conclusion sentences are like the bun.
Topics are student friendly (the best food, cell phones in school, etc.), but the last one is geared toward a writing task that followed this activity that focused on the differences between the ancient Pe

Pilgrims: The True Story of Squanto and the First Thanksgiving
This is always a favorite of mine -- I still have former students message me on Thanksgiving to wish me a Happy SquantoGiving (it makes sense after the activity). Squanto lived a fascinating, heart-breaking and inspiring life, and deserves so much more attention and credit than we give him. This reading (with visuals) walks students through his remarkable story, which intertwines with the Pilgrims and explains how the first Thanksgiving came to be. It then dives into the interesting history of h
