Make over obsession

I am currently in a complete and utter obsessive state!

I decided that I would spend the time this summer to make over my TPT store.

That led me down a rabbit hole to my current obsessive state.

I thought I would share with you guys. You might find it interesting, especially if you are TPT sellers yourselves.

I downloaded my product list from TPT and copied the list into an Excel spreadsheet. For each product in my store I am doing the following things:

1. I download it from TPT and check it over to see if it needs any updates.

2. I decide if the product needs a new preview.

3. I read the product description and see if anything needs to be added.

4. I decide if it needs a cover page or not. In the past I have not used cover pages, but I started teaching myself how to use PicMonkey.com. Now I feel like EVERY product needs its own cover page.

I'm spending a LOT of time looking/creating on Picmonaey

5. I save the TPT product link to an excel file that I found at: http://tptschool.com/teachers-pay-teachers-product-link-generator/

This automatically creates codes so that I can place hyperlinks in my product descriptions.

6. I reupload the file and add hyperlinks to similar products to the product description.

7. I save the made over product in a curriculum folder. I have not updated my Entire English Curriculum in two years, so I figured it was time.

I have been working nonstop the last four days and I am only about halfway through.

Take a look at the updated cover pages I have so far!

Teaching Point of View with Video Games

Halo=First person point of view Mario 64= Second person point of view Tomb Raider=Third person limited point of view The Sims=Third person omniscient point of view A great video overview that I found:

Survivor Symbolism

So I have been watching old episodes of "Survivor" lately and it dawned on me that it would be a good way to do a quick review of symbolism along with a little activity. At the start of every single tribal council the host, Jeff Probst, says, "Fire represents life on the island." I plan to ask my students why they think "Survivor" chose fire to symbolize life and how it symbolizes life. I found a supercut of all the times that JP said, "Fire represents life" and plan to show part of it to my kids (Or all of them if I feel like really hitting the point home). I will then discuss with them the fact that at the end of each tribal council after someone is voted off the island they snuff out their torch. I will ask students what the symbolism of this is, why they snuff out the torch, and repeat the fire represents life phrase. Here is a supercut of "The tribe has spoken" As a quick little review activity I will ask students to come up wi...
