I've been teaching English Language Arts at the secondary level for 5+ years.
I frequently change instructional strategies to keep things fresh in the classroom. I use stations to engage my students in collaborative learning. Sometimes, I lecture and have whole-class text analysis on the smartboard. It really depends on where the kids are at with their mastery of the standard and what I want to accomplish.

My favorite things to teach are short stories. The Monkey's Paw, The Most Dangerous Game, The Lottery, and Tell-Tale Heart are some of my favorites to teach.
