TPT Challenge: My Masterpiece

When the TPT challenge came out last week to make our masterpiece, I immediately knew that I wanted to create a Step up to Writing prezi. I've been meaning to do it for about 4 years, but every time I started to make one, I lost interest. I do what I set out to do and created the prezi:



 Even though I know it is all just for fun, it really just kept bugging me to say that this product was my "Masterpiece"

That's when I decided that I should be spending my time working on my REAL masterpiece...my entire english curriculum. That has been my baby for the last four years and it needed a lot of updating and work.

I spent the last week and a half (even when I was on my mini vacation) re-structuring the entire curriculum, making sure my entire store was included, redoing the entire preview, redoing many of the products within it, and making sure that it really was more worthy of the title "masterpiece" (if I do say so myself).


If you want to check out the updates go: 
Entire English Curriculum (minus novel units) Common Core Aligned
Entire English Curriculum now Common Core Aligned
Replacement USB

Flash Drive version too rich for your blood?

I do have a digital version!


Hope you like all the updates!

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...
