Spider-Man Directions Challenge + Google Drive Access

Published 7 days ago • 1 min read

Hello Teachers,

I’m sick.

The school year is barely a week old, and here I am on the couch with Kleenex by my side and ibuprofen fighting the body aches.

Between naps, however, I created a new Spider-Man Directions Challenge.

I started creating Directions Challenges a few years ago because I noticed that many of my students struggled to carefully follow directions on their assignments.

These challenges are meant to be fun, but they’re also designed to build an important habit: reading all the directions carefully.

So here it is:

Spider-Sense Training: The Ultimate Directions Challenge.

Just in case you missed it, here is my Google Drive Resource Library.

I hope it sparks new ideas, fuels your creativity, and helps you head into the new school year with confidence.

Wishing you all the best this year. We've got this, bruh.

Hello Teachers, There’s something about music that sparks ideas—especially when it comes to creative writing. For this task, students will write a 100-word story inspired by a song. Think of it as musically inspired microfiction: listen, imagine, and turn the feelings, images, and characters inspired by the song into roughly 100 words. Some students, of course, will be confused. They’ll ask: “How am I supposed to write a story from a song? That doesn’t make sense.” Good. That’s exactly the...

Hello Teachers, This is one of my favorite TED Talks. I love the drawing activities, but even more, I love its message about our abilities—and the beliefs we have about what we can and can’t do.

Hello Teachers, I taught an English class at a private institute in Tbilisi, Georgia, around 2009. In one class of 16-year-olds, most of the students were fluent in three languages: Georgian, Russian, and English. We could have academic conversations, in English, about European geopolitics. And we could compare and contrast American and Russian literature. (Although they would tell me that I should learn Russian to be able to truly appreciate the beauty of Russian literature.)
