Fish in a Tree

I created a set of slides that help students uncover the meaning of new vocabulary words, unlock deeper meaning, and thoughtfully express their answers in easy-to-use slides . The slides can be released a few at a time or all at once, depending on what works best for you. These were patterned after several of my other slides: The Crossover by Kwame Alexander, Wonder by R.J. Palacio, Hoot by Carl Hiaasen, and now Fish in a Tree.

Teaching style

My philosophy is simple. I believe there should be an element of fun in every fundamental element. Learning should be fun, it should be engaging and exciting! Education should be meaningful and powerful. It should be self propelling and motivating.
