High School English Ideas

There seems to be a never-ending list of creative resources for the elementary classroom (workbooks, posters, handouts, songs, rhymes, you name it). It's not so easy to find good stuff for the high school level. Here's a site called "Outta Ray's Head" http://home.cogeco.ca/~rayser3/. It has lessons, handouts and other ideas available for the high school English level for free! All the authors ask is that you send them a message to explain how you used their ideas in your classroom. And since we encourage our students not to plagiarize, it's a great way to lead by example and give credit where it's due. I'm a firm believer in NOT reinventing the wheel, so please post any other ideas or links for high school English.

  2. Happy to share! BTW, I took this blog post and created my own separate blog. The title is "High School English Ideas" also, it's still part of Blogger, but separate from the Gateway After Class blog.
