Ready to reclaim your time, energy, and your weekends?
I’m Melissa…
And I help secondary ELA teachers effectively juggle standards, essays, and teenage moods through teaching resources that are rigorous, creative, and completely planned for you.
Ready to get started?
If juggling standards, essays, and teenage moods has you sprinting on a hamster wheel, take a deep breath—at Annotated ELA, we make teaching rigorous, creative, and fun without sacrificing your sanity.
YOU, my fellow teacher, deserve to love what you do and have time to enjoy life outside of school.
Teaching secondary ELA can be a whirlwind of grading essays ✏️, tackling standards 📚, and finding ways to keep teenagers engaged (without resorting to interpretive dance… although, no judgment if you do 🕺). If you’ve ever felt like there aren’t enough hours in the day, you’re in the right place.
Here at Annotated ELA, it’s all about helping you work smarter, not harder. 🧠💡 We create practical resources and share time-saving strategies so you can teach rigorously, plan effectively, and make it home in time for dinner. 🍝 Whether you’re looking to revamp your lesson plans, bring more creativity into your classroom 🎨, or simply stop reinventing the wheel, we’ve got you covered.
Are you exhausted by the endless demands of teaching? I want to help you take back your time, your energy, and your weekends. 🛋️ Think of Annotated ELA as your cheerleader 🎉, your coach 📋, and that teacher-friend who always has the best ideas for bell ringers (and snacks 🍎).
When I’m not geeking out over lesson plans, you’ll find me training for my next race 🏃♀️, listening to audiobooks 🎧, or getting cozy with my family and a good story. 🛋️📖 Running is my therapy; family time is my fuel.
So, what are you waiting for? Let’s make your teaching life more manageable, more fun, and—dare I say—magical. ✨ Because the secret to success isn’t in working harder; it’s in embracing the process (and maybe a bit of goofy joy along the way 🤪).
The magic is in the process, and I’m so glad you’re here! 🪄
