During a long-term sub, I did (eons ago now), I had my sophomores create a classroom newspaper. This project has always been in the back of my mind to re-create. I started to create a version of it for Christmas school this year (which I am still planning to do), but my planning exploded, and well, here we are.
If you have been following us on our Facebook Page or Instagram, you have seen the progression of adding the Alternative Book Report Resources to our Printables page. Since all nineteen of them are finally complete, I figured this labor of love was owed its blog post to introduce them more officially. About two-three years ago, I began creating these alternative book reports for our big girls. We used them for about a year, so I had them all created, but they lacked rubrics and things to enhance them beyond our personal use. I put out a few for sale last year when I put out our Christmas School Units, and they started to sell here and there. I then set out at the beginning of this year to complete them all for sale and create a Bundle of them.
With this year's Christmas School up and ready for purchase, I have shifted my focus back to creating things for language arts lessons. Formally known here as Beyond Literature, I am rebranding it Simply Language Arts so as not to be confused with another curriculum by that name and also to be able to expand into things besides literature.
