Do you have advice on teaching a novel without it becoming monotonous? And any ideas on what to do during reading that is different than reading guides/graphic organizers? I am teaching Things Fall Apart and there were not enough copies for them to take it home.
DO NOT READ FOR PERIODS LONGER THAN 30 MINUTES! It’s boring, even for me as the teacher.
Definitely infuse other activities/texts into your daily lessons. Take a day off from reading the novel and work on a related text (like Achebe’s “Marriage is a Private Affair,” or Soyinka’s “The Telephone Conversation”) and have students begin to make connections to the text while on those pit stops.
When I do have only a class-set of novels, as I do with Split (thanks, in part, to @cowboysandconundrums–more on that later), we read aloud together, mostly. To break the monotony of only one person reading and to keep students engaged, I challenge students to read and stop, and wherever they stop, someone else has to pick up. I prompt them to make the transitions as smooth as if only one person is reading; if two or three people start reading at once, we have a chorus. My students like it, and if someone takes even the briefest pause, they will jump in. If nobody jumps in, I start reading.
In my last period today (the one with all of the interruptions), we only read one chapter of the text instead of the usual two, and I had students rewrite a key scene from the perspective of the antagonist. I got to see just how much they understood about what happened in the text without asking wh- questions.
Many more ideas after the jump (feel free to critique/add any more advice, fellow #educhums)

first observation
it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. my kids and my mood have been rough since coming back from Thanksgiving, but the lesson went well. and my principal scored me as all proficient, which is all I really wanted!
I’m not teaching “The Necklace” or “The Gift of the Magi” this year.
I’m going to play the song based off of Langston Hughes’ ballad by Sweet Honey in the Rock and have my students attempt to construct news stories based off of the song and poem. Then they’ll have to investigate more details on the web to develop their stories.
It’s that time of year again.

❤️The oldest survivor of Canada’s residential school system has died at age 111. Marguerite Wabano — whom many called Gookum, Cree for “grandmother” — passed away in her home in Moosonee, Ont., late Friday night, relative Stephen Roy confirmed Saturday. Wabano was born in Jan. 28, 1904. As a young girl, she was taken from her family and sent to a residential school run by Roman Catholic nuns in Fort Albany, Ont., for two years — more than a century ago. After two years, Indian Timeaccording to the Indian Time newspaper, her family moved farther into the bush to hide Wabano and her siblings from school authorities. Wabano later married and had seven children. As of April 2014, she had 23 grandchildren, 77 great-grandchildren and 81 great-great-grandchildren, according to Indian Time.
Aww 💕
pay attention to indigenous issues holy shit like .2% of my followers even acknowledge these posts.
stay aware of everything.
Also: “Just get the fuck out” and “Why the fuck are you still here?”
Don’t forget, “How have you made it this far in life?”
“Herding cats has got to be easier than this bullshit!” Alternately, “Why have you made it your mission to make everybody else in the room miserable?”
