Greeking Out Podcast- Arachne the Weaver Listening Sheet
Listening to podcasts in the classroom have many benefits. From being highly engaging, to working on listening skills, to an exposure to different types of storytelling, students LOVE podcasts in the classroom. This could be used as a standalone episode for a speaking and listening grade, for fun, or as part of a bigger unit on Ancient Greece or Greek Mythology.

If you are reading Soldier's Heart by Gary Paulsen, this packet would make a great addition to the unit. This contains an anticipatory set about beliefs of war before reading and then to be done again after reading. It has comprehension questions about the book broken into three sections. Students will be asked to write the page and paragraph for where they found the answers to the questions. There is also a vocabulary section.

Experience
I have taught fifth and sixth grade- all subject areas. In sixth grade I taught gifted students at a title 1 school and spent a lot of time figuring out the best way to keep the gifted students engaged and challenged.
Teaching style
In math I focus a lot on an inquiry approach to learning where students construct their own ideas, look for patterns and share their thinking about math concepts. In ELA I found that picking an engaging text that the whole class reads with the differentiation coming in the paired texts that relate to the text we all read was most effective. I was trained in Shared Inquiry and thought the dialogue that came from this style of annotating and discussions was highly effective.
