I have 99 problems, and finding the right book recs is most of them. // Library // AP English // StuCo // lover of fonts + books + learning @mandimacked
School Admin,
The best teachers in the building don't want to be "left alone". The best teachers want you in their classroom, they want feedback, and they want to be affirmed and encouraged!

The old and the new.
Red: this year's notebook with a sticker from today because things seem to grow legs in the IC...
Black: next year's planner with a sticker from this year's AP Lit (the planner is out because today I had to schedule 2022 hoco and 2023 spring spirit week 💀)
These are the lesson planning pages they DIDN'T include in your lesson plan book ...
✏️ A yearly planning template
✏️ A monthly habit tracker
✏️ A semester planner

As a faculty member, my favorite extra-curricular activity is throwing flowers on stage after a drama production. It's both HIGH DRAMA and an authentic show of pride in their talent, both things that they and I love.
Today, I'm collaborating with the Geometry teacher on an informative podcast! Students were put into groups, assigned a shape/concept, and then had to demonstrate understanding AND real world application on their very own podcast.
@jjanikis@Newsela They liked it! We have a high Native People population and I think they really enjoyed not just reading from a Native Poet but actually HEARING her speak her poetry.
Yesterday, I helped the Honors English 1 teacher host a big event with @Newsela. Students got to listen to a live interview with Our Lady Joy Harjo. An honor to listen to her, an honor to host, and always an honor to collab with the English department.
A common response after they finish and I help them get their audio files into their Google Drives has been, "hey that was actually really fun. Can we come in and record our own stuff sometimes?"
Did I create 50 of these stickers to give to my AP kids because on the first day of prose analysis I made an example about how you can't just say a book has diction and call it an argument and now they constantly bring it up every time I ask them to make a claim about a text?
@teacherman82 It is EXACTLY THE SAME 🤦🏻♀️ Thankfully 99.9% of them are joking and trying to raz me. It's wonderful and horrible all at the same time. And also they actually know how to discuss diction now so I feel okay with it all!
Oklahoma teacher and librarian friends - if you have student poets, send them our way. I'd love to feature student voices in the anthology. If there are enough, I could even create a student volume.

Played more than a few rounds of Vindictive (@mrshowell24) today. The kids loved it and it was so simple! My classes made some tweaks to the team version and here's the setup we liked the best.
