🖋️ Exploring John Donne’s “Death Be Not Proud” with TPCASTT at MCHS! 💀✨ If you’ve walked by Dr. Gardineer’s classroom recently, you’ve seen some impressive student work analyzing John Donne’s famous poem, "Death Be Not Proud." 📜💭 Using the TPCASTT method, students have carefully dissected the poem, going beyond surface-level meaning to uncover its deeper themes: 🔍 Title (Predicting what the poem might be about), ✍️ Paraphrase (Restating key ideas in their own words), 🎭 Connotation (Exploring literary devices and techniques), 🎶 Attitude (Identifying the poem’s tone), 🔄 Shift (Noticing any changes in tone or theme), 🔎 Title (Reinterpreting on a deeper, metaphorical level)., and 🧠 Theme (What is Donne really saying about death?) The walls outside Dr. Gardineer’s classroom are now filled with insightful analyses, showing how students can break down complex poetry and really understand what the poet is conveying about life, death, and everything in between. 🌟 Great job to all the students for their critical thinking and thoughtful interpretations! 🏅 #JohnDonne #PoetryAnalysis #TPCASTT #StudentSuccess #MCHS #CriticalThinking #DrGardineer #LiteraryExploration #DeathBeNotProud #LearningInAction

📚✨ Exploring Poetry with TPCASTT! ✨📚 Students in Ms. Warenik's class are taking their poetry analysis to the next level with the TPCASTT method! This powerful tool helps them go beyond the surface of the poem and truly understand its deeper meaning. 💡 Here’s how it works: Title (before reading the poem), Paraphrase, Connotation, Attitude, Shifts, Title (revisited), and Theme. By breaking down the poem with these steps, students are uncovering new layers of meaning, exploring emotions, and sharpening their critical thinking skills. 📖🔍 Great job to all the students for engaging deeply with the text and developing their analytical skills! #PoetryAnalysis #TPCASTT #CriticalThinking #MCHS #MsWareniksClass #StudentSuccess #LiterarySkills #DeepDive #LearningInAction

Thanksgiving Break has officially begun for our students, teachers, and school-based employees! 🦃🍁🍂 Wishing you all a joyful, restful, and safe holiday. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back on Monday, December 2. #ALLINMartin👊

🖋️ Unleashing Creativity with Academic Lenses at MCHS! 💡 Students in Ms. Gill's class are taking brainstorming to the next level with the Cambridge technique of Academic Lenses! 🌟 The posters on display showcase the process of how students generate diverse ideas by using different "lenses" to approach their writing prompts. Each fingertip represents a different perspective, encouraging students to explore multiple angles and sources of evidence. 🤔 By using these lenses, students gather a rich range of ideas to support their formal essays, ensuring they bring depth and variety to their arguments. 📚✨ This is critical thinking in action – from brainstorming to powerful essays! 💥 #AcademicLenses #CriticalThinking #StudentCreativity #WritingSkills #Brainstorming #EssayWriting #CambridgeTechnique #MCHS #LearningInAction #PerspectivesMatter
