I'm experiencing all the tropes of a first yeat English teacher who is trying to be "different", trying to get students to love novels, and who scoffs at the classic and wants everything to be "original ".
School starts in 17 days and I'm finding it more and more difficult find books that are diverse, modern, and relevant to my students. I'm partnering with both my mentor ELA teacher and the 10th grade social studies teacher to find text that relate to what is being taught in other subjects. The main idea for q1 is "effects of colonialism" and I found a great text from an African author about colonial Nigeria post ww2. Which coincides with the African continent in social studies unit that'll open up the school year. Where I'm struggling is q2.
My scope and sequence for language arts just has Macbeth but feel like 9 weeks is just too long and I'll finish before the quarter is up. I was trying to find a novel with similar themes to Macbeth that takes place in Asia as that's where q2 social studies is going but I haven't been able to find anything!
Q3 us more of the same with Sci fi/Gothic lit and Europe for social studies. That's a little easier and I'll be using Frankenstein and just more short stories but I'm just so overwhelmed and already feel like a failure for not being as unique as I wanted too.
Hello, I'm going into my first year as teacher for both ELA and Reading at a charter school.
I've been given my scope and sequence by the English department head a d when I recently met up with them they reminded me that because I'm at a charter school I'm encouraged to experiment and use different texts if I want.
For q1 the overarching idea is "effects of imperialism " and the 2 main texts are the declaration of independence and what the 4th of July means to a dlave by Frederick Douglass. Our quarters are about 9 weeks long and was curious what you guys thought about incorporating Burtchers Crossing by John Williams into the quarter as well?
The short and sweet of it is. Quit smoking weed and didn't renew my medical card in November. Graduated in May and recently accepted a job and turned in the last of my paperwork for SLSD. Am I good to get my weed card again? Been clean 9 months in July
I'd be a teacher.
I'm curious as to what you think
