Truth: New Orleans is one of my favorite cities in the United States. Living in Austin, NOLA has always just been a short jaunt away and perfect for weekend getaways. Or, on long road trips to the East Coast as a kid, we’d pass through for a night and stop to get beignets at Cafe Du Monde. So you can see that I have a soft spot for the Big Easy.

From the balconies of the French Quarter to the best beignets, here are a few of my picks for the best photo spots in New Orleans.

Finally, the writing reflection asks students to relate their opinion to quotes from the text after reading. These assignments even work well independently, in case you don't have time in your unit plan to use both. Quote Analysis & Reading Quizzes: A perfect tool for scaffolding deeper understanding and analysis! This is my go-to tool for helping students process key details and providing regular reading quizzes without drowning myself in grading. The scaffolded approach helps students bridge from reading for plot points to reading for deeper understanding, themes, and life lessons. Theme Tracking Notes: Obtain student buy-in and build anticipation for key concepts by having student’s research themes and track them while reading. Early in the unit, students research the denotation, connotation, key historical events, and illustrate the theme word or phrase. Students track key moments in the text that relate to the prompt. After reading, students consider these key events and develop the author’s theme statement. Film and Text Essay: Elements of film handout, essay graphic organizer, rubric, and notes for the teacher. The elements of film handout defines 14 basic elements for students to use as evidence in their essays. The graphic organizer has students pre-plan which scenes their essay will focus on, structures their notes during the film, and plan their thesis statement. Character Analysis: Character Analysis Packet - An organized space for students to track the development of key characters throughout a text. There is guided space for students to illustrate, describe, record and analyze evidence, and finally synthesize their ideas. Character-Theme Graffiti Table - An action-packed way to get students analyzing minor characters and how they support theme development in a text. Students work in groups to add evidence and analysis to ideas graffiti-style, encouraging them to build and develop other group’s work. Character Review Project - This is a creative project that encourages abstract thinking and evidence-based writing.

Author Study - Profile and Social Media: Engage students in the text using the writing platforms they are most familiar with: facebook and twitter posts. These resources support higher-level thinking skills and a literary analysis based approach to teaching. This resource includes four copy-and-go handouts: author facebook profile, facebook newsfeed, facebook exit tickets, and twitter exit tickets.
