One of the major components of a classroom is student engagement. As a middle school teacher, I have always tried to be cognizant of student engagement.

Do you ever teach figurative language through song

Do you ever teach figurative language through song lyrics? • This year, my goal is to be fun and creative more than I ever have been. Many of us are in a not-so-ideal classroom situation. Therefore, creative and exciting is front and center. • Yesterday and today, my students have been working on figurative language, and we have been analyzing figurative language in songs. First, it is so much fun, and it shows the kids figurative language is relevant in their life. • Try it out! • • #figurativelanguage #classroomideas #englishteacherfollow

Anyone else teaching live and virtual at the same time? 😳 • So I have students who are out on quarantine and students who are in class. I am currently teaching simultaneously to both groups, as you can see by my Chromebook. • Like my Kleenex Chromebook stand? I couldn’t find anything that was the perfect height. See...@Kleenex is more than just tissues! • How are you handling teaching both in class and remote at the same time? This is definitely the most challenging year in 21 years of teaching... • • #remoteteaching #distancelearning #schoolyear20202021

Do you use Ted Talks in your classroom to drive en

Do you use Ted Talks in your classroom to drive engagement, questioning and discussion? If your answer is “no”, you should try it! In my latest blog post, I share my favorite Ted Talks along with a FREE digital worksheet for your students! • Every Friday, I have my students complete a video journal-the students watch a short video, and write a theme for the video or answer questions. I also use Ted Talks. These are perfect for motivation, life lessons and other relative topics. • In my blog post, I give you some suggestions for Ted Talks, and I included a FREE digital worksheet to share with your students. Try out Video Friday. It is a great way to break away from the regular journal entries. • You can find the blog link in my Insta Stories. • #tedtalks #journalinspiration #middleschoolela

The is the real, non-staged photo of me having to

The is the real, non-staged photo of me having to say, “A capital “I” applies to digital writing and typing too...” for the hundredth time this week. I thought the emotion on my face was priceless for all the teachers experiencing the same thing. • Apparently I didn’t get the memo that all grammar, spelling and grammar rules do not apply when the students have to complete activities digitally- what the heck?!?! I had to lecture about this, and threaten to turn back my students’ work with a 50 if they do not apply basic punctuation and capitalization skills in their online writing. • SMH. Are you dealing with this too? It is driving you mad?!?! • If you feel my emotion, comment below 👇🏻. • • • #teacherlife🍎 #teacherlife #iamanenglishteacher

This was the extent of my open house...virtual from my classroom. In 20 years of teaching, this was the strangest, most surreal way of communicating to parents about my classroom. • Did it go off without a hitch? Well...besides my lights going off in my room during presentations because of the timers, it was actually pretty relaxing and comical-Parents who would forget to mute and I got to check out a lot of kitchens!🤷‍♀️ • #classroomopenhouse #backtoschool #virtualclassroom #2020
