Oh my god you poor thing. It must be so hard to teach kids how to read better and than have a meeting, hand out some homework, and fix a bulletin board. Teaching is debatably the easiest job so deal with it.
lmao ya got me

This canât be topped
This fad is the bane of my existence.
Today was a no good terrible horrible very bad day.
When a bunch of things go wrong all at once, and I donât know which thing to handle first, so I just do nothing and watch everything burn.
Thatâs my jam.

Still drowning in grading...gotta get better at this part. This week was spirit week and homecoming. I'll be missing the festivities for a family event. Overall things are going really great. But I'm also overwhelmed by how behind my kids are and how we're gonna get them caught up or at least show some growth.
So. Much. Grading.

A resource for teachers and educators looking to use engaging poetry videos in the classroom.
With the school year starting back up, check out our updated classroom-friendly poems playlist (and make sure to share it with the teachers and educators in your life!)
Yes!!! Now I donât have to go digging for some to use in my classroom.
oh good!
#ThrowbackThursday to my favorite mini unit I have ever planned. To kickstart our Elements of a Story unit, we killed off one of our team teachers. The students had all sorts of activities to solve the murder. They had to make connections with teacher alibis, look for stems in an autopsy report, sketch the crime scene, do a plot mountainh of the timeline, etc. The kids had a blast, the teachers loved it, and our principal thought it was awesome.
Very smart teaching!
I wish I could do something like this! I wouldnât even know where to start!
Theme: Donât poison people
One of the other themes a different block came up with was donât make people mad because there was a threatening note left at the scene.
FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS THE RESOURCES I FOUND/MADE, I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SHARE. Does someone want to share the educhum Google folder link with me? I know it was floating around, but Iâm not sure where I put it.
@hrroyalgeekness I think itâs this:Â https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5vCNpY9zZ8lfmNOV2pVcmdjMWNqS2VUVmVEVVF1TXpxTjBNb2VMOEo0MzgyQ3lGQk1OT00
But Iâm not always the greatest at sharing links on Google Drive. So if thatâs not it, ask @mdmshakespeare
Aaahhhh! I want to do this so badly
I would love to look at this too. Checked the Google folder but canât seem to locate it there. Anyone help?
Iâd love to look at this as well. What grade level did you use this for?

I love the shit out of you, but I will not put up with bullshit.
Unofficial motto for the year
English teachers
Short story ideas?
What are your favorite short stories to teach?
Kate Chopinâs âStory of an Hour,â Ray Bradburyâs âThere will come soft rainsâ âall summer in a day,â and âthe very gentle murders.â
Gilmanâs âThe yellow wallpaperâ is a classic for a reason.
âThe Lotteryâ by Shirley Jackson is jaw-droppingly gripping for basically anyone who is familiar with the Hunger Games.
âA good man is hard to findâ is gorgeous and perfect and creepy (frankly, you canât go wrong with any of Flannery O'Connor).
âTell Tale Heartâ by Poe is his best, and more accessible short story (âThe Black Catâ is nice as well, plus the old staple âCask of Amontillado.â âFall of the House of Usherâ is good too, and you could pair it with Bradburyâs âUsher IIâ with interesting results.
Oh! âThe Gift of the Magi!â Anything O Henry! âA rose for Emily!â âthank you mamâ by Langston Hughes. And so forth!
I second âThe Lotteryâ and âThe Yellow Wallpaper,â and have to add Bradburyâs âThe Veldt.â That one might be my absolute favorite!
Agreeing with The Lottery, The Veldt, and the Tell Tale Heart. Adding The Most Dangerous Game, The Little Match Girl.Â
âWhere are you going, Where have you been?â
âA Jury of her Peersâ is the short story version of the play âTriflesâ by Susan Glaspell.  She also was a journalist who wrote stories on the murder theyâre based on.  Great layering activity with different genres. Â
Yes to all of those. Donât forget Vonnegutâs âHarrison Bergeron.âÂ
Also any O. Henry. It annoys the students to no end :)
I love teaching Harrison Bergeron in my dystopian unit.
âA Sound of Thunderâ by Ray Bradbury is fun and good to teach theme and cause/effect. It also works well for metaphor!
âThe Sniperâ (Liam OâFlaherty)
âThe Interlopersâ (Saki)
âPoisonâ (Roald Dahl)Â
âThe Scarlet Ibisâ (James Hurst)
âMarigoldsâ (Eugenia Collier)
âThe Pedestrianâ (Ray Bradbury)
âFlowersâ (Alice Walker)
âRipe Figsâ (Kate Chopin)
âThe Cold Equationsâ (Tom Godwin)Â
âInitiationâ (Plath)
All of the above basically.
Saving for when I have older English students again!
Everything I would have suggested has been said above. Way to go, educhums!
Week One-In a Moment
Itâs not perfect. Iâm tired. Iâm worried. Iâm scared. Iâm constantly drowning in all the things I should be doing, and all the things Iâd like to make time for. And Iâve got a lot of personal stuff happening across the board that is wearing me down.
And it was a really great first week. Iâm just amazed how much better our school feels, and how much better things are going compared to last year. I feel more settled and calm (at least in comparison...because Iâm definitely not calm overall, Iâm just really good at hiding it).
It gives me hope.
I had my juniors share what kind of story they'd write if they had the chance. I started crying reading them after school. I think this year is going to be amazing.
Day One Recap
I puked up my breakfast before I left for school. It seems it was out of nerves i guess because i feel fine overall. That's never happened before... The kids were mostly good, even with all the changes we made. I think it's gonna be a good year.

Tomorrow is the start.
Breathe. Focus on what you can control.
