I am planning to do a book club unit in a couple weeks. The original inspiration was The Barren Grounds. I’m considering possibilities for books for book clubs that are somewhat related in themes. Any suggestions? This is my first time doing book clubs, so, tell me all the suggestions! Consider me a rookie in this department!!

Since moving back in with my parents, I’ve noticed their internet cannot handle three people working from home. Does anyone have experience relying on a mifi full time? I know the biggest downside is the data limit, but would I be able to get a plan that would suffice for my 16 hour-long busy season days? Help me, I’m a newb :)

I’m beyond irritated by one of my coworkers. Just so disorganized, doesn’t show up to meetings, doesn’t reply to emails, constantly have to chase him, miss deadlines because of him. Management knows but does nothing about it. He really is a nice guy so it’s hard to hate him but I’m gonna lose it sooner or later. I’ve tried talking to him, I’ve tried escalating, putting reminders on his calendar. Nothing works. What are my options? Suck it up or leave? This is unnecessary stress for me

My district is thinking about purchasing HMH into Literature for our reading and writing curriculum. We currently use Lucy Calkins Reading and Writing Workshop and are not happy with it. Does anyone have experience with HMH? Pros? Cons? Any info is appreciated! Thank you!

What's a piece of advice you love to give to your senior students who feel very uncertain about the future?

When beginning a piece of literature, I first help the kids access the relevant culture. I have used web quests, but I have found that the kids researching their choice of topics and creating Slides containing information and pics results in more students participating. Recently they researched heraldry for the Medieval Era and reproduced either a family crest that they found or created their own personal crest. Anyone have other activities they use?

Here's your save-my-sanity question of the day. Our classes end-- for the year-- in 3 weeks. We also will have testing and finals. Do you think "1984" + misc dystopia will hold Sophomore interest?

I'm a first time Junior English teacher. What are some tips for differentiating an honors class from a regular class?

Hi All! I am teaching English 4 for the first time this fall, and I’m just wondering what ideas y’all have for starting off. My class will be TINY (less than 5) so I want it to be super-engaging. All Black and Brown students. Help!

What are some reading centers you do with your 5th - 6th graders while you pull a small group?

What have been some of your favorite books to teach in the classroom? Especially from POC authors!

I got an email last night from a 7th-grade parent because her son said I mentioned the words "male privilege" in class, and she is very concerned about how that is related to ELA (she said "reading"), and she is concerned about this being taught in public schools. To be clear, I didn't do a lesson on this subject but we did discuss rights versus privileges. I've had multiple parents contact the school/get upset with me because of things like his. It's exhausting... Thoughts?

Today, my entire class stated they do not feel comfortable working with the school's instructional coach. How can I, as a teacher, encourage them to open up and receive helpful strategies and help with their homework if they are not comfortable? Any suggestions? I don't have time to assist everyone.
