Teacher friends, there’s a sale at Teachers Pay Teacher friends, there’s a sale at Teachers Pay Teachers tomorrow for lots of fabulous resources. Up to 25% off, including my lessons for ELA teachers. The Success Story store keeps growing! Newest lesson? A deep dive into metaphor (tenor, vehicle, connotation) with Shakespeare's high-stakes scenes. These materials join a Macbeth mock trial, a Madam VP rhetoric lesson (persuasive diction and strategy in candidate speeches), and lessons for Amanda Gorman's magnificent inaugural poem. A joy to collaborate with my theatrically gifted sis, Antonia Fairchild, and my legal eagle/ELA colleague, Vincent Agosta, to bring professional wisdom to the teaching table. Love nerdin' out in my proximal zone of development.
