All of the resources are valuable at different times. I was told about 2 other tools that seem really helpful that I want to try. ChatGBT and Formative.com look like to tools that would be a huge time-saver.

Just based on what I looked through today, I would say Common Lit has a little more of an advantage for me--simply because of the novel units where activities, background info, and research projects are all put in one place. This is something I will definitely look at for the rest of this semester, as well as planning for the next semester.

I love the diversity of text, paired text, related media and the variety of assessments that can be customized for your specific classes.

This is a great source to use in conjunction with other novel resources, like Commonlit.

When looking through this source, I was mainly looking at my next unit in my CP class, which is Macbeth. There is a play on here broken up into acts, and this would be very helpful and beneficial to use while we are reading.

Great resource. Probably the one I use the most. I like that texts are divided into themes. Our next unit deals with how fear drives action. I plan to use many texts from Commonlit to address this topic.

When I have students starting on lower levels, and I always do, I use Newsela as supplemental material for individual students at individualized levels, and slowly move them up in lexile levels until they are able to read at a more consistent level with their peers. It is not intrusive and is much more comfortable than all face-to-face remediation with the teacher--no embarrassment involved.

My niece goes to BHP, and her Honors English teachers use it constantly to generate credible sources for research, and the justification for credibility is easy to prove with this research.
