Koolteecha's Virtual Classroom

Is it just me, or is SPRING BREAK in the air?  Ah – don’t quit on me now.  Things are just starting to pick up pace.  The test-that-shall-not-be-named is behind us, and wonderful challenges lay before us! 

Tangerine by Edward Bloor is by far one of my favorite novels to teach, primarily because students LOVE it and can’t put it down.  THAT is cool – true excitement about reading a book!

My wonderful Pre-AP students have just finished a Vocabulary Video Project.  Look for the links to their videos at Brainyflix.com.  Soon you can vote for your favorite video and help them win $200! 

An entirely NEW challenge also streches before them – POETRY ANALYSIS.  This is typically met with moans and groans, and that’s understandable, because they will actually have to – GASP! – think and write and analyze.  I hope that you’ll reach the end of the unit feeling like you’ve stretched your analytical muscles!  Be strong!  At the end of the six weeks, we’ll be completing a really cool multimedia project.  I can’t wait!
