I love this!!! I will definitely be adding survivor music to my lessons now 😂
I’d love a post of a “notebook tour” — how you set them up, how students use them, when you decide for them to use notebooks vs digital tools. I’ve never found a good system that I love.
I'll try to put a series of images together using our classroom spiral in the upcoming week (which students refer to for make-up work) and send it your way!
What a great example of how to take advantage of a longer chunk of time. Sounds like their brains were tired at the end, always a good sign. And I bet they will remember what you need them to remember about sonnets!
This is awesome. Lesson examples like this, at this level of planning and engagement, would make a great book.
This Substack will have to do for now, haha—but definitely will try to find other opportunities to go into detail with other lessons in the future!
If you have like-minded colleagues, collecting from multiple sources could lighten the load 😊
BTW, also love the focus on poetry. Never had anything like your lesson during my early education.
LOVE this! I may be stealing the sonnet competition--what fun!
It's ridiculously fun—if you prepare the clues in advance, you can pause everyone and add them at random intervals.

I'm glad you presented this with some nuance about the attention span challenges.
