Grade 11 · A complete six-week instructional unit · No-prep, ready-to-teach
A complete six-week Grade 11 unit, not a one-off activity. Students become Kindness Investigators: they read what great writers said about generosity, dig into the real science and the real debate behind it, then design and pitch a pay-it-forward campaign for their school.

HMH Into Literature, Grade 10 · Five real end products

HMH Into Literature, Grade 9 · 20 lessons · 4 weeks

Printed, handed out, taught. No rebuilding a slide deck the night before.
Every unit maps to the CCSS codes it actually teaches, listed on the page.
Students do the thinking — research, argue, build, present.
Tasks differentiated across Bloom's taxonomy rather than by worksheet length.
Written for Grades 9–12. Nothing repackaged from a middle-school unit.
Built by a teacher with a timetable, a photocopier budget and thirty students.
Try the work before you buy any of it. Free resources need a free account, nothing more.
5 zoom-in starters your students can steal today
Five sentence frames that get a student past the blank first line: the clock starter, the quote starter, the number starter, the contrast starter and the freeze-frame starter.

Make their talk do more
Post these on the board and watch discussion actually build: build on it, challenge it, clarify it.

Questions that survive the silence — and turn it into thinking
Silence after a big question isn't failure — it's processing time. This bank gives you questions worth waiting for, organized by what they ask students to do.
