New resource alert! My AP Lit students begin Frankenstein on Friday, but we used today to discuss the role that the Gothic movement plays in novels like it, along with Dracula, Wuthering Heights, and Rebecca. The new resource is linked in my bio and has been added to the bundle with 6 other literary movement lessons!

It’s been a busy week in room 253 and we just can’t work at desks anymore! All the sophomores submitted their career paper outlines and have moved onto the writing stage. AP Lit is finishing up our poetry unit and Journalism is now doing weekly news beats. And theatre has entered tech week! 🤪

We’re writing research papers in all three of my sophomore classes and I feel like a record on repeat—which is analogy they won’t hear or understand anyways. 🤪

Silent discussions were a hit! Our regular poem analysis model was getting a bit stale, so I set up a silent discussion on A. E. Housman’s “To an Athlete Dying Young.” Students had two skill-based task cards they could answer at each table and three minutes to comment. When we rotated, the questions and answers stayed, while they moved to the next question. By the time students came full circle, their paper had a series of responses and interpretations to read.

To read more about using silent discussions, check out the blog post linked in my bio.

The task cards are available in my TpT store and I have versions for AP Lit and AP Lang!
