You're tired of reading literary analysis essays that say, "And that's my text evidence."
But teaching 12-14 year-olds the art of literary analysis seems like a battle you'll never win.
- You struggled with how to plan a literary analysis unit.
- You're not sure how to scaffold and break it down for student success.
- You're tired of reading surface-level analysis.
- You want to have conferences with students, but what do you do with the rest of the class?
You feel like you've tried everything to get your students to write strong literary analysis pieces.
- Writing and essay "formulas" that are supposed to help students produce a solid essay.
- Every trick, prompt, and strategy in the book to get your students to dig deeper into analysis.
- Wearing yourself ragged trying to get your students to be independent writers.
Implement a scaffolded literary analysis unit that increases students' writing independence.
Learn how to plan and implement a complete literary analysis unit within the prefect class period structure.
You'll have solid strategies and frameworks for scaffolding and differentiating your instruction. We want all students to be successful and increase their writing independence.
Get your student to dig deeper when writing analysis.
We'll dive into specific prompts, scaffolds, and strategies to teach your students to dig deeper into their analysis.
Each lesson builds on the previous lesson so students increase their analytical writing skills daily.
Students write multiple reading responses before they write essays and will use the skills, lessons, and past work to really dig deep into the texts in front of them.
Decrease the amount of time you spend grading.
The scaffolded instruction in the units starts with students writing flash draft reading responses to help students build up their independence and writing competency.
Those flash drafts build in difficulty so you can assess and conference to adjust instruction and support your students in real-time (we give suggestions for each lesson based on common student struggles).
These strategies and scaffolds will improve student writing and decrease your grading.
The prep, resources, and scaffolding are unmatched. It helps me feel confident in what I am teaching and helps raise the level of rigor. I like the lack of "Googleable" answers!!!!.
I teach in a very small district. I am the only ELA teacher for 6-8 grade. I found some of Martina's resources and they made life so much easier being scaffolded for all 3 grades! After finding these resources, I knew I wanted more.
The resources are the perfect opportunity to support the resources I already had. The more resources I downloaded, the more I realized I could raise the rigor for students. I have raised the level of my students' ability to analyze a variety of texts.
The resources scaffold perfectly while challenging students to raise their level of work on every step. It is amazing. I love that Martina engages in a positive manner to all feedback!

These resources are a game changer and will save you so much time! But most importantly, it works with my students!!!
I wanted to ease my planning/give me peace and reinvigorate my lessons. I'd say the BIG WIN for me was I ended up with way more time!
The way I used to teach my classes caused a LOT of grading for me-- A LOT! I entered this thinking the first year of using these resources would be a lot of work, but if I kept it up it would be less next year. Well, low and behold! I have more free time! I still have grading, but it is not tons of comprehension questions, short answer questions and THEN essay questions for each chapter/assignment so it takes me LESS time to grade!
Also, my kiddos are not overwhelmed and put more effort into the 'smaller' assignments! Win-win!
Proof it is working: I had to be gone for two weeks after Thanksgiving. It was easier to leave the 'old way' with the sub and students. BIG MISTAKE! They hated it!!! And, I came back to HOURS and HOURS of grading! Worst of all--no effort was seen in most essay-type questions! Never again!

As a middle school ELA teacher, I always found myself saying, "I wish I just had an example to look at and to show my students." You will not be saying that to yourself. We've included:
- Three differentiated reading responses for the first ten lessons.
- Three differentiated essays, outlines, and planning pages for the essay portion of the unit.
- All examples have images on teacher slides with a breakdown of what the responses accomplish so students can learn from the examples.
Like all resources in this unit, the rubrics are differentiated for sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade ELA for teachers who teach multiple grade levels.
- 100% editable rubrics to adjust based on your students or district requirements.
- Digital version of rubrics included to make for even quicker assessments.
- Conference forms and checklists to formatively and assess in real-time.
You'll also get access to these bonuses...
Teacher Slide Decks
The brand new slide decks have been created to help you teach all the elements of literary analysis and show students examples of quality literary analysis responses and essays.
Simply display and teach while your students learn and immediately apply each new element to their writing.
Student Reference Materials
After you teach each literary analysis element with your teaching slide decks, students have matching pages and booklets to reference.
No more, "I don't remember what you taught us." Simply have students look at their notes, reference materials, and booklets.
Grading and Assessment Workshop
If you're like most ELA teachers, you probably have 100+ students writing essays... which means you have 100+ essays to grade.
This bonus workshop will teach you how to grade and assess in class so you learn strategies to stop bringing grading home.
I don't want you to hate the thought of teaching literary analysis, so I'm going to make this a no-brainer for you.
I don't want price to be a factor between you seeing success and not seeing success in your middle school ELA students' next literary analysis unit.
Which is why I’m basically giving away over $200 of value.
For a limited time, you can get instant access to everything for only $256 $25!

6th Grade ELA Teacher
I love hearing you explain what I need to do to utilize the materials fully!
I have been contemplating joining The Hungry Teacher’s hub membership for MONTHS, but it wasn't until after I took the Mentor Sentence training that I actually joined. I love the workshops!
Before investing in the membership, I was concerned about whether or not there would be materials at my students' levels (they are LOW for 6th graders). Your teaching style and the fact that you want to make it usable for sixth graders stand out about your membership.
I also wasn't sure if the materials would be confusing to me or if the materials would take too much time for me to implement, but everything is explained and easy to use.
I'm eager to do the short story units and implement Socratic Seminar. Keep giving the PD!!! I know they're self-explanatory, but hearing you explain how you used the resources and systems has been so helpful. I would recommend to others watch any of the PD workshops first, then jump in!
I belong to another membership that I am going to cancel because it is too difficult for my kids, and there is a treacherous amount of reading for each activity.
MELISSA ECKERT
6th Grade ELA Teacher
The support I received when I could not use my monthly credits due to a health issue validated my belief that this community is teacher-centered.
When I joined the membership, I was moving to 6th grade. I felt strongly that the sixth graders in our elementary school would benefit from being taught the way sixth graders in middle school are, so I felt The Hungry Teacher’s Hub was a perfect fit.
A major win in my classroom since joining, my students continue to score higher than their building peers in language arts! I have implemented novels more readily because of the novel studies included. Novels are always better than a basal text. I love the interactive grammar notebook!
It moves in a logical sequence and is very grade-level appropriate. It allows me to teach the needed topics in a fun way. Otherwise, language arts can be boring.
I have loved being part of this community for the past two years! The support I received when I could not use my monthly credits due to a health issue validated my belief that this community is teacher-centered. I was thankful to have not lost what I’d paid for.
I have told my teammates about The Hungry Teacher’s Hub! I brag about my class’ interactive notebooks for language arts and novel studies.
ALICIA FIGGE
6th-8th Grade ELA Teacher
I teach a resource English class and was given no curriculum. The Hub has helped me in so many ways!!! I literally had no guidance as to what I was doing with my students.
My favorite part of the membership is receiving two credits a month. It helps teachers build their library of resources so much faster without hurting the bank. Also, I LOVE the workshops! I did the grammar workshop and loved it. I wish you had the same resources for math!
Everything in The Hub is so well written. The value of what I pay each month is definitely worth it! I already recommended you to another teacher because she’s in the same boat I am. I told her there are standards, lesson plans, and so many things in the unit!
Compared to other memberships, the resources and format of it all standout. I’m so excited to get started back at school tomorrow!!!
I'm Martina!
During my first year of teaching middle school ELA, I was overwhelmed with only 55 minutes to teach writing, reading, and grammar.
And, after being a self-contained elementary teacher, I was overwhelmed with list of WHAT writing I was supposed to teach but...
... I didn't know HOW to teach my middle schoolers to write.
There seemed to be a lot of assumptions about the writing my students could do and that I was supposed to assign.
But I quickly realized that my middle schoolers needed scaffolded writing instruction that broke down precisely the what AND THE HOW.
I broke down my literary analysis requirements and weaved them into my students' reading responses during our reading units.
They started to be able to write a literary analysis response pretty quickly.
I could build on that in our writing unit and started to slowly scaffold and increase the difficulty of their writing.
In turn, students increased their ability to dig deeper into their analysis.
They started to analyze more difficult concepts, multiple literacy devices, and eventually comparative analysis responses.
And it worked.
My middle schoolers with my writing units and instructional frameworks and strategies, they increased their writing proficiency scores from 20% proficiency to 80% proficiency in just two years.
Now, I've taken everything I've learned and created and packaged it up into a differentiated and scaffolded middle school ELA literary analysis writing unit.
