Freebies of the Week
Practical, classroom-ready resources you can use right away.
Teaching is already a lot.
Planning does not have to be.
That’s why I rotate one free classroom resource each week. No fluff. No busywork. Just things you can download, print, and use with your students.
Here’s how it works:
✅ One free resource is added each week
✅ All freebies stay available for the current month
✅ At the start of the next month, the page resets with brand-new resources
When you grab a freebie, you’ll also be added to my email list so I can send you:
✅ new weekly freebies
✅ teaching ideas you can actually use
✅ classroom strategies that save time and energy
You can unsubscribe anytime, but most teachers stay because the emails feel like help, not noise.
Resource #1
Author’s Purpose and POV Understanding Activity
Before I press play, I give students three things to think about:
What is the topic?
What does the creator think about this topic?
Why would they make this in the first place?
I love using the Dove "Like a Girl" commercial for this. It's compelling, it's short, and once it's over students can pretty easily identify that the purpose is to change how people view girls, and the POV is that girls are strong and capable.
They're using the vocabulary, they're applying the concept, and nobody's brain has shut down because there wasn't a single paragraph involved.

Resource #2: Poetry Annotation Printable
Teach your students how to annotation poetry like a pro!
To help you and your students, I have made this printable annotating poetry poster! You can hang it in your class for a reference point and print one on cardstock for students to keep in their notebook. Just fill out the form below for your freebie!
