Allusion of the Week
This unit is a semester long unit on allusions. From showing how Taylor Swift "steals someone's thunder" to Muhammed Ali and Joe Frazier's epic "waterloo," this unit has real life examples that are sure to engage your students.

Video: Finding the Theme of a Text
This 2.5-minute video is a resource for ELA teachers looking to help students identify the theme of a text.

There is a simple quiz in the middle of the video to help students know if they have learned the material.
