As we come to the end of summer, things are getting very exciting here at Moore English! This summer marks this blog’s second anniversary. In celebration of this milestone (read about previous milestones here), I’ve put together my second-ever series called “Making the Most.” In the Making the Most series, I’ve gathered dozens of ideas, strategies, texts, ideas, and inspiration for teaching a variety of common ELA units.

Making the Most of Moore English
I’m so excited to be celebrating another year of Moore English that I wanted to highlight some of my most-popular posts.
- Are You Making these Seating Chart Mistakes?
- 5 Ways to Use Google Jams and Google Jamboard in the Classroom
- 5 Reasons You Should Be Teaching Literary Criticism, and 5 Ways to Make it Happen
And I also wanted to highlight some posts that I love that aren’t as popular. While I’m proud of all my posts, these are pieces that are near and dear to my heart. Oftentimes, the posts I feel most passionately about don’t drive a lot of traffic but help me reflect on my growth as a teacher.

- Combatting Heroic Thinking in Education
