How is it already almost Martin Luther King Day??!! I don’t know if time moving quickly is a good thing or a bad thing these days. I hate feeling like I’m wishing away the days, but I also can’t wait until the pandemic is behind us. 🤞 ⁣
⁣
Here’s a simple, yet extremely meaningful activity for honoring MLK Day: After reading/discussing Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech, have students select 10-15 words from the speech to use in an original found poem. It’s a great opportunity to discuss the power of words and connotation. Final drafts should be amazing!! More ideas for MLK Day are on the blog. (Link in Bio) ⠀⠀⁣

Like warming- up before exercise, it’s important to warm-up before reading. Preparing the mind for what’s to come will result in increased comprehension. A well-crafted pre-reading activity will encourage students to make predictions, connect with the topic, activate prior knowledge, and objectively preview text contents. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Click through to the blog post for 16 pre-questions you can use with any novel! The pre-reading questions can be used as a collaborative or independent assignment. Either way, students are guided through five different aspects of the text before reading the first page. ⠀⁣

What’s your six-word memoir for 2020? This year was a tough one. The political, social, and health struggles were/are tremendous. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣
Although I’ve taken a lot from this past year, I’ve come to realize that I already have everything I need. It’s easy to get caught up in all the shiny objects and greener grass, but that stuff doesn’t matter in the long run. ⁣
⠀⁣
This would be great to do with students after break. And if you're really into it, have them turn their memoirs into a slide, put them all together, and add music. You’ll end up with an emotional presentation. 😭❤⠀⁣

I thought this quote from Plato was perfect for all the goal-setting happening right now. The beginning of any journey is indeed extremely important. It’s also typically very difficult. Change is never easy. ⠀⁣
⠀⁣

Happy New Year!! 🎉⠀⁣

🤦🏻‍♀️I had no idea Seattle has an expansion NHL team starting next year (Kraken). ⠀⁣
⁣

⠀⁣
🤦🏻‍♀️Irregardless? Really? Ugh. ⠀⁣
