Character Arc & Chart
Identify how the protagonists grow and change as the plot progresses, and students have done some real analysis! The chart helps students understand how plot and character growth go hand in hand.

IB Spanish HL extension project to help with Individual Oral
I created this extension project this year to help IB Spanish HL students revisit literature read during the year to help prepare for the IB HL Spanish individual oral IA (internal assessment). Students will split up literary works by chapters in classes, create summaries, find quotes that we will practice in class and produce a creative work based on their summary and quotes. The students will use the quotes they find in class to simulate the exam with one another. This has been the best way t

Colonial Slavery Stations Gallery Walk
This gallery walk or stations activity will have students look at colonial laws in 3 different colonial regions, slave auction ads, runaway slave ads, and a map of the triangular trade. It engages students in higher order thinking and gets them reading and thinking about primary sources! I used this in my IB class but can be adapted to all levels but shortening the readings. It includes questions that go with the stations. At the end, students will have a Venn diagram to compare and contrast the

Wheel of Analysis
Students struggle to remember that all of the authorial techniques and literary devices can be used to analyze one another. They work in concert! Emotion and foreshadowing can be evidence of characterization. Dialogue and imagery can reveal setting. A theme can be embedded in dialogue or a symbol. Conflict can be embedded in everything. Tone can be reflected in word choice ( diction) and allusion. Use this to help students craft a thesis statement, analyze a passage or text, or as a visual to he

Shakespeare - Sonnet 15
When I consider every thing that grows
Again, the poet ‘considers’ – an approach previously taken and weights his own thoughts about the subject with greater philosophical concerns. We also have the poet emerging as one aware of his power with words and how enduring (and beautiful) they are. Explore these notions with the associated workbook of group and individual activities. There is also a PowerPoint with a reading of the sonnet.

Shakespeare - Sonnet 53
What is your substance, whereof are you made, . . .
There is a sense that Shakespeare is approaching the metaphysical domain as he questions the very concept of existence and the perfection of the object of his love. There is also an implied criticism. Explore these ideas further through the practical activities in the workbook that can be chosen to supplement and complement the approach taken by a teacher or tutor. The educational validity is in the practical nature of the tasks which encourage

Shakespeare - Sonnet 14
Not from the stars do I my judgement pluck;
The poet predicts the future but not as one might imagine. There is no astronomy or alchemy or natural portents. It is by looking into the subject’s eyes which gives the poet insight. The workbook with both individual and group activities helps students explore this notion along with the reading on the associated PowerPoint.

Thy gift, thy tables, are within my brain
It seems the poet lost a gift and must now find reason to explain and excuse his conduct. This, of course, is done majestically by saying the action was, indeed, a compliment. Learn how Shakespeare deployed such a conceit by listening to the reading and utilizing the workbook with its range of practical activities. Students are encouraged through group and individual activities to delve into the meaning, meter, rhyme and poetic devices employed by the po
