In "Miss Lit for Life Lessons: for High School English Teachers by a High School English Teacher", you will find engaging and effective MODERN-DAY ELA lessons to add to your tool kit! Inspired by student needs and the world around us, the crafted challenges for 21st Century learners can be applied outside the classroom and in the real world. This book was shaped by verbal and written student-input about what worked best and helped them increase in skills and scores. Micole Williams has defined, planned, and designed a journey for fellow teachers and their diverse learners across grade levels. Candidly, she shares two types of lessons: 1. Those learned while teaching, and 2. Those she designed and developed for her diverse students each year. Here, in 5 chapters, you will find a string of her most impactful, tried-and-true challenges that you can use as is or adapt to your path along the course of a year. 1 - The adventure begins at CROSSING GENRES where you will find resources to set you off in the right direction. 2- Things get deep on HIGHWAY ANALYSIS. Sharpen insight with tools that are practical to use. 3 - It's time to get lit at STORY CENTRAL. Delve into ways to engage readers, ignite writers, and let the imagination run wild. 4 - On PERSUASIVE PARKWAY explore matters of the heart that allow for students to perfect their argumentative skills, so they can effectively fight for what they are passionate about. 5 - At REFLECTION AVENUE, you'll find a special time to look back on the journey in order to effectively move forward to the next. Miss Lit for Life Lessons provides writing prompts, manageable exercises, discussion questions, and graphic organizers that can be successfully implemented in any curriculum.
