"Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants." -- John Gardner

Beg, Borrow, Steal
Hi teacher friends! I promise I have a very eloquent post on the SOL madness all eleventh grade teachers just went through, but I wrote it in my writer's notebook which I left at school. Right now, I'm looking for more post-reading activities to help students sort out thematic elements and have fun. We did Facebook pages for The Odyssey. We made some collages comparing and contrasting our own thoughts about the American Dream versus the dreams presented in Of Mice and Men. What have you got?
