Using Video Essay - Resources!!!

I realized I hadn't posted any resources in a while so have some free resources for using videos in the classroom including some advice on teaching students on how to use the video editing software.

Resources for Romeo and Juliet

Three things have led me to posting resources

1) My football team is sucking

2) Grading summer reading assignments is making my brain hurt

3) WebEnglishTeacher put my resources for The Iliad, The Odyssey, and Oedipus the King on her website which is super exciting (!!!!!!!!!!!!!)


So I have decided to post some resources for Romeo and Juliet  that I have used over the past four years of teaching it. These are the "tried and true" assignments for me that I will fall back on if I'm lacking my usual creative spirit (which sadly happens especially since Shakespeare is the last unit my freshmen study).

You can find my resources for Romeo and Juliet here. If you want to see the other resources I have, you can either visit the links up top or go to this page.

I Don't Want to Grade Papers So I'm Sharing Things With You

I realllllllllllllllly don't want to grade my freshmen essays.

You benefit though.

I put up a bunch of my resources for teaching thesis essay writing. You can find them all here.

You can see the other resources I have provided at the menu bar above or by going here. My resources are constantly(ish) being updated so check back every once and a while to find new goodies.

Hope this makes your life easier!

Also, I hope this makes you smile

The Odyssey Resources

It is a Sunday morning and I was doing some lesson planning which requires searching waaaaaay too much. Then I realized that I hadn't posted some resources in a while so to take a break from the pain of going through multiple Google Searches, I'm sharing some resources I have for The Odyssey.

Hopefully this makes your search a little easier.

You can find my resources for The Odyssey here. 

If you want to see the other resources I have available, you can go here. My resource pages are works in progress so check back frequently for updates.

Here is a cute picture for your time.

Resources for The Iliad

It was a very productive snow day and frankly, I'm too tired to actually write a post so I decided to give you the gift of resources instead!

You can find some activities I've done while teaching The Iliad here.

Hopefully you'll find them useful! Enjoy!

If you want to see what other resources I have, go ahead and go here. You won't regret it.

Oedipus the King Resources

I want to make sure I do the last part of the PISA well so instead of rushing it, I figured I would post some more resources.

This time you have resources for Oedipus the King by Sophocles. These resources include one of my original creation and personal favorites which is the (anti) children's book assignment. It is a lot of fun for the students and a lot of fun to grade.

Hope you enjoy them!

Resources for Units

As teacher, one of the most frustrating things is finding resources so that you do not have to completely reinvent the wheel. I have spent countless hours searching the internet for various assignments especially when I want to try new things (see my previous post). Although there are some great websites out there like WebEnglishTeacher, it can become very difficult to find resources.

So to help my fellow English teachers, I am starting my own resource page on my blog. I'll be adding to it as I go and I'll publish an update every time I do. Eventually there will be plenty of resources on the units below but for now I'm starting with Things Fall Apart since that is what I'm currently doing with my sophomores.

Eventually you'll be able to find resources on:

Things Fall Apart
The Odyssey
The Iliad
Oedipus the King
Romeo and Juliet
The Aeneid
Taming of the Shrew
Thesis Essay Writing
Using Video in the Classroom


Enjoy!
