Literature Connections

Since you are a busy teacher, here's a place that lists resources aligned to the core literature for your grades. We are just beginning and have a long way to go, but there are some great resources here for you. Check out the themes, questions, websites, resources, extensions, activities, and more for each book you teach or read. Eventually this list will be searchable by theme, keywords, author, title. Keep checking back in to see the list grow.

"My eCoach sets the standard for online teacher communities. In addition to having tools and tutorials to help teachers create web-based, standards aligned-lessons and activities, there are forum's surveys and libraries.

Being able to quickly embed content such as videos in a lesson is extremely helpful. Teachers don't have a lot of time so having all of these high quality tools integrated in one place is the way to go."
