It’s almost Halloween!! 🎃🎃🎃 Things are definitely different this year, but it will still be fun! We are staying home and hanging with our quarantine buddies (neighbors). We are going to have a small block party with games and activities. If you’ve been following along with my stories, you know about my big project of a game I’m making 😫. Anyway, that’s our plan! What are you doing for Halloween this year? ⠀⁣ ⠀

This quote shouldn’t be relatable, but everything that has happened in 2020 (mostly our wildfires and COVID) have pushed me over the edge 😫. I could see flames while standing at my kitchen window last night. Plus, the Santa Ana winds keep me up all night. I’m losing it! Who’s with me?? ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #quoteoftheday #edgarallanpoe #quotable #relatable #perfectsayings #same #qotd

Walking into the weekend like...⠀ ⠀ Not really. One of my goals is to be able to do a handstand for longer than 5 seconds. After that, I’d like to be able to walk on my hands. Then I’m going to join Cirque de Soleil. JK 🤣⠀ ⠀ I’d also like to be able to do a pull-up. Progress is so slow. 😫 Do you have any crazy out-there goals??? ⠀ ⠀ #goals #lifegoals #handstand #happyfriday

Having students create a comic book is a fun way to reinforce summarizing skills and review plot. Just add your favorite text! ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ You can differentiate by requiring advanced students to write the narrative for each comic book square. For other ability levels, you can provide the narrative for each square, and have students add illustrations and dialogue. ⠀⁣ ⠀⠀⁣ #plot #edgarallanpoe #telltaleheart #comicbooktemplate #teachergram #ELA #homeschool #homeschoolmom #teachersofig #iloveteaching #iteach5th #iteach6th #teachersfollowteachers #iteach7th #middleschool #upperelementary #teaching #reading #iteachenglish #learn #iteachtoo #readingteacher ⠀

Do you teach Edgar Allan Poe in October? It’s the perfect time of year for his dark and mysterious stories! 👻 Click the link in bio for a detailed “Tell Tale Heart” lesson plan you can use with middle school students. It’s Common Core aligned and differentiated! 💀 The objective of the lesson is for students to be able to explain how Poe used mood and tone to create suspense within the reader. To reach that objective, the lesson is broken down into activities that occur before (into), during (through), and after (beyond) reading the short story. 🖤 I hope you like it!! ⠀⁣ ⠀⁣ #edgarallanpoe #telltaleheart #middleschool #lessonplan #teachersofig #teachersofinstagram #iteachela #languagearts #iteach8th #iteach7th ⠀⁣ ⠀
