"No, I am just trying to convince myself that it is a happy monday."
Mondays are hard. No way around that. So, since I am here having a serious case of the Mondays, I thought I would share what I did this weekend. Slowly but surly my classroom is coming together. This week most of my classes will be working on Literary Terms along with their short stories/ poetry unit. So, I am trying to get them ready for all of that.
Take a look at some of the pictures:
Here is my wall of posters. I got this idea from a teacher who was in my room before me. He had ordered posters from another website. I used a free poster maker online (where you pay for the poster to be made and sent to you but not for the software) and had these done. [Poster maker used is Poster My Wall]
I kind of made a Shakespeare/ poetry wall. This wall has a poster for the Kenneth Branagh version of Hamlet and then Shakespeare's head made with the titles of many of his works. Then, a poster of my favorite poem, Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken".
Finally, I have a picture of the pared down version of reading strategies I am teaching this week. Again, this is crazy whittled down, but it is the basics.
Comment with what you think. If you are a teacher, do you have better reading strategies? How do you have students interact with their texts? Do you have a place you use for posters? Ideas about where to get free stuff? Let me know!
