Many times on this blog, I have spoken about my dedication to personalized learning. It is something that I am deeply, deeply passionate about, and I have spent the summer grappling with what I can do to help other teachers move in this direction. However, as I mentioned in my last post, I have struggled with how to create materials that will actually result in personalization. Instead, I think any content I have been putting out there just fits into the traditional model, or that it doesn't really make sense on it's own. I think I have it figured out now. (Maybe). Introducing... College Board Supplement Packs!As I was putting together my own content for the upcoming school year, I knew there was a lot of things I could share, but I knew my own personalization method would probably be hard to digest in a simple download. Therefore, I gathered up what I have made and merged it with the College Board units. This allows you all to use it however you see fit, and it even includes SOME of my personalization materials as well. Essentially, each pack is just a little extra content thrown together so that you can start playing around with personalization! (Or just survive. Let's be honest.) You're probably wondering what each of these packs include. Well, let me tell you! INCLUDED: Unit Guide One Pager Unit Vocabulary Group Activities Practice Activities Unit Assessment Personalization Materials (Conferencing and Intervention Trackers, Personalization Guide, and more!) Let's talk release of the content... I have mentioned in the past that I really hate taking money from teachers. I know that so many of your are living paycheck to paycheck because... usually, I am too. That said, I really appreciate when people offer monetary support (and honestly, it allows me to invest more time outside of school making new content). So here's the plan: I have already posted Units 1-3 on my TeachersPayTeachers site. (Unit 1 is free!). I am going to list these packs at $5 on TpT. HOWEVER - if you can be patient - I will have a later release here. The later release will be free! It's kind of a thank you to anyone who reads my ramblings. :) Units 1 - 3 are already posted and accessible below. Unit 1 is free! The others are currently $5. Now... If you can wait, I will release Unit 2 for free on Sept 1. (It will be in the Free Resources and under a new tab titled "Supplement Packs" under A Year of AP Lang). Unit 3 free-release will then be Oct 1. ...and if you are interested in personalization...I am setting myself a goal to post once a week, recounting what class looked like that week. Personalization is constantly changing and evolving, so keeping up with how things look in my room can help you visualize how it might look in your own classroom. As always, I hope these materials help! Check back Sept 1 for a free version of Unit 2. Sincerely, Cwik
