I’m super excited about the newest product I’m putting together for my Teachers Pay Teachers store, Captivate Motivate Educate.  It combines the timeless classic of Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, and makerspace concepts. My mind is racing with ideas like sculpting Scrooge’s transformation,and  his mindset–before and after, and his thoughts on charitable donations.  I’m thinking of including ideas for the build-it task cards.  Build Scrooge’s future as described by the ghost of Christmas future. Students will use Legos, clay, pattern blocks, and maybe even multi-colored mini marshmallows! Another idea for the maker stations will be to use vintage Christmas carols somehow. . . I’m still working out the details.  I’m going to work as hard as Santa’s elves to make sure this new product is uploaded to my store within the next week. tuned!!

I've been teaching for over 25 years. I've taught at the elementary level, but I'm currently teaching high school English including AP Language and Composition. I’ve recently opened a Teachers Pay Teachers store: Captivate Motivate Educate on Teachers Pay Teachers https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Captivate-Motivate-Educate I'm a self-taught artist and I strive to incorporate the arts in my teaching whenever I can. I believe our students need more chances to stretch their creative thinking skills. One of my current goals is to incorporate a makerspace in my classroom. I want to give students the opportunity to work with their hands in the English classroom.
