Let’s talk about reciprocity. And if you’re going to join a follow loop only to unfollow—what’s the point?!😡

My students love Life of Pi!! And it’s one of my favorites too. Every time I read it I find something new. Why is that? Martel’s writing is so rich yet subtle. His style allows the reader to savor passages long after they’ve been read. I wanted my students to analyze his style so I created this challenging project. This project asks students to respond creatively through the creation of a poster. They also have to explain their analysis by writing an essay. This unique TpT product offers color samples, a sample essay, and scoring rubric. Link in profile.

Are you looking for fresh back to school activities? Back to school one-pagers are just what you need to allow students to introduce and share a bit about themselves. Students choose an inspirational quote—I’ve included 28 different quotes from diverse voices—and draw their responses on their choice of one-pager template. Link in profile.

Recovering from hip replaced surgery. I definitely underestimated how painful this would be. My summer will be spent recuperating so I can hopefully be ready to start the new school year in August.
