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?

Funny, 2-Page Dialogue that Teaches the Rules of Writing Dialogue
“Ahhhh!” A scream pierced the air. It was my English teacher, reading an incorrectly punctuated line of dialogue for the 178th time in two days. Clearly she had reached her breaking point. She put her head on her desk and it appeared she was breathing more heavily than usual.“Should we do something?” whispered Ashley, from the seat next to me.“Well,” I answered, “you did one thing right. You remembered that when writing dialogue, a new speaker always means the start of a new paragraph. That’s ru

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
