Last year, at this time, I was preparing to move from Bratislava to California when I released the episode we're revisiting today, all about the easiest way to approach the last day in ELA. And it turned out to be the most popular episode I've ever released, with more than 25,000 teachers tuning in. So it seems only fitting that as the end of the year approaches once again, and my life is ONCE AGAIN in boxes, preparing for our move on Thursday for a very new and exciting job for my husband in the Midwest, I would share this episode one more time.

A few engaging review activities for ELA come in handy around this time of year, as the calendar takes over and students pop off to random awards ceremonies, spirit events, and slideshows. Sometimes you see them for one day in a row, sometimes two, but getting in a groove is definitely a challenge! So, in case you're in search of creative review activities that will get students looking back over all that they've learned before a final project or exam, or just before heading off into the summer horizon, here are six. I'm going to base them on a fun review choice board I made for The Lighthouse seasonal section. So, Lighthouse members, be sure to snag it if you like the sound of all this!

378: Improve Student Evidence Analysis: Meet Mr. Skeptical

When it comes to evidence in their argument papers, students have a tendency to mic drop way too soon. "Here's my evidence, BOOOOOOOM!" you can almost hear them saying. Because right after the evidence, they move on. Oops. That's not what we want, and I bet you've written "be sure to analyze this evidence and explain how it proves your point" a few (hundred) times. So what do we do? How do we make the idea MEMORABLE that students must analyze their evidence before moving on? There are a lot of helpful tricks and acronyms floating around out there - the quotation burger, "R.A.C.E." and "P.E.E." for example. And I think those are helpful bases from which to build. But this week on the pod, I want to try a humorous, real-world twist that can complement any of these. Something I hope will be memorable for your students. Something you can reference with a laugh and keep students interested. Meet Mr. Skeptical. Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

Sure, there's no one right way to write an argument paper. It can be three paragraphs, nine, or even seventeen. It can be loaded with research. It can be full of voice and personal anecdotes. It can be intensely academic, with a formal objective perspective and thirty-two sources cited with MLA. We want our students to understand the rich palette of tools available to them, and mentor texts, varied writing assignments, and encouragement to try new things are all so important. But so is a place to start. Just as I think the 5 paragraph essay isn't dead, because we need it sometimes for skill foundations, I think a clear and simple formula for introductions can be really helpful for students who are struggling to write and organize a coherent argument. Honestly, it's the base I used for my English papers through my B.A. AND M.A. in English literature, and the one I made sure all my students knew how to use when they needed it. It's the foundation for more complex options. So today, I'm going to talk you through it. Go Further:  Explore alllll the Episodes of The Spark Creativity Teacher Podcast.

It was the beginning of our "Is it Cake?" era. We've gasped, we've squinted, we've cheered.

It all started with 1984, as so many things do. I wanted students to see how the ideas in the book were splashed across the world around them - yes, in their magazines and ads, but also in the current events they saw on the news and the news sites covering them. So I asked them to create collages, connecting 1984 to their lives. As we put the collages up across one wall on the classroom, the startling connections between what they were reading and what they were seeing in the world around them sprang out in bright colors. Sitting beside us as we discussed and wrote about the novel, they provided a constant reminder that Orwell's writing was as relevant as it gets, many decades later. So am I suggesting you do a context collage next time YOU teach Orwell? Nope, today I want to suggest that a context collage as a stellar go-to anytime you're trying to help students see the connections between a text and their lives. Let me walk you through it.

Send us a textTerry Whalin opens up about his extraordinary path to becoming a "super author" with over 60 books published and many selling more than 100,000 copies each. What began with an observant high school English teacher recognizing his talent led to journalism school, an unexpected spiritual awakening, and eventually a career that spans biographies of figures like Billy Graham to practical guides for aspiring authors.The turning point in Terry's career came when he realized he wasn't taking enough responsibility for his own success. Despite having dozens of books with traditional publishers, sales remained disappointing until he attended a marketing conference where he embraced Jack Canfield's principle of taking 100% responsibility for outcomes. This shifted everything. Terry began consistently blogging weekly—now with over 1,700 entries—and implementing strategic marketing approaches that transformed his publishing career.Terry shares invaluable wisdom for writers at every stage, revealing how the creators of Chicken Soup for the Soul were rejected 160 times before finding success, how they implemented the "rule of five" to promote daily, and why consistency matters more than occasional brilliance. He dispels common publishing myths, including the expectation of significant earnings, and explains why building your platform on owned channels (your website, blog, and newsletter) provides more stability than relying on social media. For those ready to turn writing dreams into reality, Terry offers free resources including his book proposal guide and publishing myths insights at bookproposals.ws and publishingoffer.com. His message is clear: publishers are actively searching for quality work, but success requires taking action, persisting through rejection, and strategically marketing your work every single day.www.terrywhalin.comWant to be a guest on Living the Dream with Curveball?

You've probably heard me talk about my first poetry slam. The project that became my go-to vehicle for teaching poetry every year that followed. The book I was handed - 6 American Poets - was chock full of great poetry. Dickinson, Whitman, Hughes… but I knew that I, like every paper worth reading, would need a solid hook.  That's how I ended up staying up til one in the morning the night before my poetry unit was set to kick off searching for poetry slam clips without swearwords.  Eventually I found some incredible clips and the philosophy that would guide much of my time in the classroom. I thought of the philosophy then as “using showcase projects.”  Now I think of it as finding the glue that would keep students engaged with my material. So how can you find your own glue? Let's talk.

I can still remember the faded, chipped blue print of my childhood game of Memory. The thick cardboard squares we flipped in search of pairs, thrilled when we found a match, frustrated when we accidentally revealed a match to our opponent. I've played a million games now as a parent too, watching my children's eyes light up when they rack up more matches than I do, which is pretty much every time. I think my daughter was beating me consistently by the time she was four. The memory game seems to stick in our game culture like no other. I see a new twist on it everywhere, most recently National Parks memory when I stepped into the store at Sequoia National Park last week.  So how can we use this go-to in the classroom to gamify ELA?
