REVENGE BALL: A FUN REVIEW GAME FOR ANY SUBJECT

This was my take on “Trashketball” (a pretty popular game on TpT). Except you know I had to put a DHT spin on it so there’s student roles, timers built into the slides, and I used a streetball design to bring everything together. (There’s a slide with the game rules, I gotchu)

THE DAILY SQUABBLE: GREAT QUESTIONS FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The Daily Squabble was born when I taught a Debate elective and wanted a fun warm up for the last month of school. There’s 20 questions that are sure to get your students talking. They range from lighthearted (Are there more doors in the world or wheels?) to heavier topics (Should teenagers ever be tried as adults and placed in adult prisons?).

EDUCATOR | TEACHER MENTOR

I’ve spent the last decade on a relentless, hell bent mission to figure out what the heck actually works in a high school classroom.

Is it possible to achieve 100% student engagement (or damn close to it)?

Is there a way to make planning and teaching and grading 180 students feel sustainable?

Can I really make the learning accessible to everyone in the room?

Are there tricks to make things easier for ME as the teacher?

*Skips to the last page of the book* YES.

And I know those claims are bold as hell, but if you’re the type of teacher who cares about this kind of stuff and isn’t afraid to try things out… I’ll now skip to the epilogue: You learn the systems that work and you’re killing it.
