9th Grade Reading Unit Plans

This all-inclusive unit contains everything you need to teach about the book of Exodus. This is a great companion to my Genesis 1-11 Unit that covers Creation, Adam & Eve, and the Tower of Babel and Genesis 12-50 that teaches about the Patriarchs.

This awesome unit is focused on Christian teachings with additional pages that focus on Catholic teachings of Sacraments, Saints, and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is created for the majority of the work to be non-denominational.

I am confident that it will increase your students' understanding of this spellbinding novel dramatically.

These seminars rely on the power of inquiry and allow students to take the lead in their learning and discussion. The only problem? They require a great deal of preparation. Fortunately, this student-tested resource includes everything you need to conduct a structured and formal set of Socratic Seminars in your classroom surrounding Monster... and no preparation is required by you at all!

⭐ Monster vs. Murder on a Sunday Morning Compare Contrast Project:

This week-long project asks students to view the Oscar Award-Winning documentary, Murder on a Sunday Morning, and compare it to the shockingly similar novel. Students love seeing the real-life courtroom action play out and connecting it to the novel they read in class. It is incredibly relevant for our times and is in my opinion, a "must-do" for your Monster unit!

⭐ ESCAPE ROOM

Salvatore Zinzi and Wendell Bolden are at it again, snitching on their buddies to lessen their own sentences in prison. Except this time, they've snitched on your students! Each one has been accused of being a part of a robbery gone wrong and now they are trapped in a frighteningly dark and dreary jail cell. The only way to escape is by solving 5 different skills-based puzzles, discovering a hidden message, and finding clues along the way.
