If you read the title of this episode, you may or may not know what this episode is about or if you want to listen! We say this because most people have different definitions of what text pairings and supplemental texts are. We go into detail of how we differentiate these two types of texts and when we use them in our lessons.  As most of you already know, the texts we choose are not the main focus of our units, but are used as tools to teach our concepts and literacy skills. In this episode, we will be talking through finding a text pairing and supplemental texts for a unit.

A lot of the feedback we get about Shakespeare-related content is that you feel like it’s just too much. It feels hard, and you don’t want to do it. We totally get that, and we’ve been there. But that’s why we get so excited about the things we talk about because we really have found ways to make it a part of the day that you and your students will look forward to. The practice of analysis can get painfully routine. Students read something and then analyze it. But there’s a better way. There’s a way to add a layer to the analysis by visually looking at multiple interpretations of a text.  One of our favorite ways to do this is through film. We’ll share how we’ve used film as a tool, rather than a reward, to solve a problem that many of us face.
