    This page offers validation for students' partaking in AP level courses in high school for fiscal reasons. What I find interesting is the process that some schools have for putting kids into AP classes-is this fair? It's definitely something to think about, especially since it glosses over other merits to AP level classes, such as critical thinking.

    Sorry I am a little obsessed with young adult novel popularity, but this provides the novels that are popular at this moment for the high school and middle school age, so that as teachers we can get a grasp on what are students are reading and interested in.

Creativity Ted Talks Ken Robinson Teachers Fine arts

    We all want to be teachers, but I think this helps us look at what kind of teachers we want to be. I know I don't want to be another bland, boring teacher who just goes by the books. Ken Robinson helps us see what schools do stop stop us reaching our full potential and why we need more creativity and arts - things that students will be passionate about in class - in the classroom.

    A TED talk (because that's more or less all I'll be posting) about the status of creativity in early education, and the implications for all levels of education (and beyond).

    Ken Robinson describes how schools are killing creativity and most importantly highlights why it is so important in our futures. He urges us to maintain creativity in our curriculum so English teachers, please do your part to keep it.

    I thought this blog was fascinating because it describes ways in which school for the children of military personnel are striving to meet not only educational, but specialized mental and emotional needs associated with frequent moves and deployments. I this way, it echoes ways all schools can try to meet specialized needs outside of pure education to have happier, more well-rounded students.

    When working with different plays in high school, I think it can be very beneficial for students to recreate scenes from the play. In high school, I had to do this several times and it was a creative outlet to further understand the play while having fun. This is a nice model for students to create their own video.

    In high school, I read the book The Great Gatsby and loved it. I also enjoyed when teachers offered different alternatives to interpreting the text, and I think this is an interesting way to compare and contrast the novel and the ballet. Students have the chance to think outside the typical mode of interpreting the text. Here they can link the text to the dance.

    This is a YouTube video that was a project for a high school public speaking class. It's a good example of how we can use technology to allow our students to use a little creativity and have a little fun with their assignments. Also, many of us may be asked to teach a speech class at the school where we are hired!
