Most ela teachers feel like they don’t have enough time to get everything done that they need to get done.

That means you can leave on time today and still have a great lesson tomorrow.
In today’s episode of the Teaching ELA Podcast, I discuss several short stories with a focus on imagery. I’ve got an emergency lesson plan you can get on the board right now involving imagery and a breakdown of what it means to master the standards for teaching imagery, a breakdown that will make teaching everything easier.
Takeaways
- A 2-column chart that takes no more than 2 minutes to put on the board covers the most important standard taught at your school.
- Teaching imagery is more than teaching a definition and how to identify it. Making the lesson meaningful requires citing textual evidence, critical thinking, and using evidence to support analysis.
- Edgar Allan Poe is more than just a master of suspense. He’s a master of imagery.
