I think this is a good website that teachers and students to choose different topics to journal. I think students should write everyday, and with the variety of topics, students can avoid writer's block.

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.

I think it will be beneficial for students to do book reviews on their own outside the classroom. This is a chance for them to use their critical thinking skills while responding to a piece of fiction that they can choose on their own. This website can provide an academic list of accepted books which my students can choose from.

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.

High school students generally dedicate one year to speech. This is a good website that models good speakers. In addition, it provides a literary history to key figures that we will study in the classroom. This could also profit discussions on current events.

This website will particularly be beneficial to my own lesson plan creation and professional development. The website offers a multitude of activities and strategies for teachers to use. In addition, it offers online professional growth training.
