Distance learning is a challenge many teachers are having to overcome in their secondary classroom, and this distance learning packet for secondary English classes is designed to help alleviate some of the pressure. This distance learning packet provides reading worksheets, discussion activities, and writing prompts for many famous short stories. Additionally, it includes PDF copies of each text with a modern design--they're easy to upload or post! Since it's a growing bundle, you'll receive updates with new worksheets, texts, and activities throughout the year (and the COVID-19 pandemic). In short, this distance learning packet is meant to provide high-quality supplemental materials that your distance learners will engage with and benefit from. Check out my other distance learning packets--like my highly engaging Social Media Characterization Activities packet--for more great resources.
