Some thoughts of late.

Have I told you how much I LOVE my home office?! Today I picked up a little loveseat off marketplace to replace the chair I had and I’m obsessed. It has all the things I love the most—books, plants, and light. ✨

Every year I take risks, try new texts, and change up ideas. And every year I forget what I’ve done. Not anymore! My newest resource for AP Lit is a mixture of a planned & course guide, with reflective options & teaching strategies mixed in, this planner includes:

Course Vision page
Year-at-a-glance Brainstorming page
9 Unit planning pages, aligned to the CED
1 blank Unit planning pages
Novel/Play brainstorming page
Poetry brainstorming/pairing page
Monthly reflection page (print one for each month)
Writing log
AP Lit Detailed Skills Tracker
AP Lit Skills Checklist
AP Classroom Use log
AP Lit Vocabulary to Know
FRQ Rubrics
Helpful Blog Posts
and more!

This is an appreciation post for the legendary Susan Graves Barber who is celebrating her birthday today! Who else is a better teacher because of Susan?

A little rain didn’t stop us from exploring Salem, somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit. I teach The Crucible to my honors sophomores and I love the blend of drama, theology, and history. Special shoutout to Allie M. for bringing a great travel buddy—even when it rains and we’re forced to buy $20 umbrellas.
