Thanks to tonsillitis, I’m marked safe from teaching on Valentine’s Day.

If you’re a middle or high school teacher and you’re not figuring out a way to use Kendrick Lamar’s halftime show as part of a lesson, then what are you doing?

So I may or may not be prepping a lesson comparing certain recent EOs to some of the edicts that were around in Europe during WWII 👀

So for anyone who’s all “well, I don’t know anybody personally affected by the Executive Orders” - because you’re reading my post, now you do.

Book suggestions:
- 1984
- Handmaid’s Tale
- Fahrenheit 451
- Hunger Games
- Divergent
- Brave New World
- Unwind
- The Wave

So when I get arrested for not allowing ICE into my classroom because I don’t have undocumented students and they’d be interrupting my lesson and need to leave, do I still have to find my own sub and do lesson plans or…?

Why is it that students are shocked when they walk in and it’s midterm day? Not like it’s been posted on the board and online and daily verbal reminders for the past 3+ weeks.

ELA Teachers: You’ve got a great opportunity to teach tone vs mood if you take a look at a recent sermon and the follow up social media response…

It’s like 9 degrees and my classroom feels like an icebox.

Just so we are clear: my students are safe with me and anything that makes them feel less than does not fly in my classroom 🏳️‍🌈

Just your friendly neighborhood high school English teacher hoping to share resources, ideas, and some humor.
