I teach grade 8 English (as well as grade 8 geography and a current events course for grade 11) and I'm reworking my Romeo and Juliet unit as well as developing materials for residential schools and Indigenous storytelling. I'm in Canada and I want to make sure I'm lining up with Truth and Reconciliation Day on Sept. 30. English prep is definitely a different process from my social studies courses. I wanted to do more systematic work on prepping, but I hit a wall and decided to prioritize resting up before we go back in two weeks.

That's definitely huge work (both logistically and emotionally). Rest is such a vital part of the process ❤️
