'Tis the season for candy canes, holiday parties, and Dickens' most accessible novel!
Universally beloved and only 88 pages long, A Christmas Carol is the perfect book for a quick unit before the holiday break. And, with our ready-to-use Literature Guides, you don't need to spend the weeks leading up to the holidays doing prep work.

The Things You Can Read welcomes you and thanks you for your readership. We, here at The Things You Can Read, ask your help, if you visit our site regularly, please follow us either via email or Google Friend Connect. Launched on June 7, 2012, our site has already attracted a great deal of attention. One of the goals of the site is to feature reviews of Children's Picture Books, Young Adult novels and Adult Literary Fiction/Nonfiction. A second goal for the blog is to be a resource for teachers of English and writing--with examples of student created writing, writing tips, resource links, and the opportunity to pick the brain of a seasoned English teacher. To spice things up...every now and then, we'll also include random quotes and thoughts on education and life in general, but our ultimate goal is to reach out into the blogosphere and be a "Book Whisperer" and "Writing Whisperer" to children and adults of all ages. Thank you for your readership. Here is to a lifetime filled with reading and writing.

Teaching Drama: Life on the Creative Edge
Great way to introduce your class to the trials and tribulations of the DIRECTORS life! The "Creative Process" often comes at a price. This opens doors to some great conversation. NOTE: Preview the beginning not all movie, opera, and stage clips are appropriate. I start the video with Julie Taymor's talk.
How do you discuss the creative process with your students? Leave us a comment and let us know here at The Things You Can Read!
