Content feedback

Close reading activities for short stories that support students in reading comprehension and identifying literary devices such as characterization, metaphor/simile, foreshadowing, symbolism, point of view, imagery, etc. Preferably multiple activities for the same story so there is a lesson for each skill that relates to the same story.

Writing activities that support students in writing literary essays: strong vs weak thesis, identifying theme, identifying the evidence that BEST supports the ideas, quotes and MLA citations, organization of thoughts in a paragraph.

As a teacher, I love the content and activities. However, as a Pre-AP English II teacher, the amount of content aligned to my class is very limited. Is there a plan to add more English II material to Quill?

I would like quill to implement a vocabulary section.

I have many low readers (below grade level) but they are held to grade-level standards. They have the accommodation to use audio for text. It would be helpful to have a tool built-in to Quill for this rather than having them use Snap 'n Read, an external tool that doesn't always work for them. For students who have difficulty with writing or typing and spelling, offering a speech to text or predictive text option or allowing copy and paste of a sentence stem would save them time and help them not grow too frustrated to focus on the meat of the task.

My students really struggle with properly inserting quotes from a text into their writing. This would be a great content idea to add to the platform.

More practice for comma usage for independent and dependent clauses

I would love to see more content for dashes, ellipses, commas, semicolons and colons, especially for higher grade levels.
