Teachers, do you want to incorporate new, shorter works within your courses, but not have the time to look for them? On this page, I plan to post pairings of poetry, short story, and essays with longer works often found in high school curricula. Stay tuned for twice monthly perfect pairings, and submit your email address to receive more in-depth lesson plan ideas, writing prompts, and other project ideas. If you would like to request pairings for a specific longer work, please send me a comment. I hope to make your life easier, because we all know that being a teacher is the toughest job on the planet.
