Twenty-seven weeks of short stories, poems, and speeches — each built on a 50-minute routine, a single literary device taught in depth, and three homework paths so students self-select their challenge without ever being singled out.
Devices aren't taught once and dropped — they return at rising intensity. Follow a thread to see the spiral, or open any week for the full lesson and its design rationale.
Predictability is an accessibility feature. The same six beats run each class, so cognitive energy goes to the literature, not to figuring out what happens next.
Every week ends with the same three homework options. Students self-select the challenge that fits — the differentiation is built into the menu, not assigned to a child.
Essay and analysis tasks for students ready to take on abstract literary work.
Story, dialogue, or artistic response for expression-oriented learners.
A structured worksheet with word banks and sentence starters for students who need support.
Students can show what they know in the format that fits them.
Standing accommodations no student has to ask for.
