I had to be out for 2 days before spring break started and I needed something easy for the substitute teacher to do with my students. Why not blackout poetry? I used one passage from the TpT sub plans I’ve created. This passage is from Poe. But for my other classes I used a passage from To Kill a Mockingbird( my juniors) , and Life of Pi(my seniors). Some of the students realty did a great job. I’m pleasantly surprised. 🤗👍🏽👍🏽 #blackoutpoetry #subplans #highschool #secondaryela #poetry#teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram

Have your students deepen their understanding of this timeless classic by asking them to make connections among the characters and the main concepts and themes. This activity can be used as an informal or formal assessment. I’ve included: *detailed teacher and student directions *Templates and charts *Sample responses and essays * Scoring rubric Link in my profile.

Got my hands on the redacted Mueller report whether Trump colluded with the Russians. Not sure about all the legalese but I have a feeling there’s something important in this report. #trump #collusion #guilty #redaction #blackoutpoetry

The Habits of Mind are, in some ways, even more important than grades or test scores. We all want to foster the Habits of Mind in our students. A couple of ways is to place posters around the classroom, and to talk about the Habits during opportune times, but another way is to get students to think about them in a creative way. My TpT learning station task cards ask students to sculpt or build their understanding of the Habits. They then must explain how they try to practice the ideals in their lives.

Love this insta! It’s horrible what we put our students through every year. TEST TEST TEST. Blah. I had to help proctor the SAT this morning and I was exhausted after 2 hours. I bet my students were even more so by the end of the day. Then what made me angrier was thinking about the whole “Varsity Blues” scandal. #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofinstagram #testingsucks #sat @rate_your_pd
