Help needed with English IV

by Glory B.

Apr 26, 2016

I haven't taught Senior level English IV for several years and will be teaching it again next year. I am wondering what types of things are being done in classrooms now for this level that I have missed out on since I haven't taught it for 5 years. I used to do Beowulf, Canterbury Tales, research papers, etc. but is there anything new that I should...See More

by Timothy M wilson Jr

Sep 14, 2015

Jake L. Hi Timothy.

Fortunately for you, experience is the last thing they want. What you'd really be there fo...See More

Wasting my time

by lark48

Mar 6, 2016

I teach two elective classes of Spanish. Each class has 28 students - 8th graders. In each class, at least half of the students were put there because there was no other place to put them. They are not interested in learning Spanish, and they create real discipline problems. Sending them to the office has no effect. I feel that my time during the S...See More

A I asked my students to imagine how a different reading of the play would change things up. Most often, Juliet's mother is not seen as a kind, caring, loving mother. What if she were? There is a version with a different twist on R & J. Check out this video [link removed]

I like this idea. Have them change just one single event and discu...See More
