GRIT: A Growth Mindset Unit for Upper Grades
As teachers, we know that effort and determination are the biggest factors in our students’ success. All too often, this message doesn’t get communicated to our students.

I created this week-long unit for upper grades (specifically high school or advanced middle schoolers) because I could not find quality age-appropriate resources to tea

Night by Elie Wiesel Unit Plan: Projects, Activities, Chapter Questions, Writing
Are struggling to teach a unit on Night that is both rigorous and engaging? If your students’ experience of Elie Wiesel’s classic novel involves filling out meaningless worksheets, sitting silently while you give powerpoint lectures, or waiting for you to explain the novel to them, you’re doing them a great disservice.
