Anne of Green Gables by Mariah Marsden5/10/2023 Students will write literary analysis essays, narrative essays, expository essays, and persuasive essays each year. When I have a sub, I typically use a handout to keep things simple. I use Costa's question cues in order to maximize high level thinking or critical thinking skills. We do several novel studies as well where we analyze a text fiction and non-fiction. Additionally I use one-pager, book reports, reading responses. Students may walk in with a silent warm-up activity one day and have a dance warm-up the next. My units are planned with engagement in mind, and my lessons are challenging and effective. I also use resources from AVID that I have picked up over the years. I use Socratic seminars, 4-corner discussions, philosophical chairs, small and large group activities, carousel activities, graphic novels, gallery walks, Vocabulary activities, comprehension questions, a multitude of activities and handouts. My classroom is a collaborative chatty one.
