Episode Summary
You know that moment when you open your pacing guide and immediately think, How on earth am I going to fit all of this in? Between teaching 500 standards, trying to keep your sanity, and still having a few minutes left in the day, it’s a lot.
That’s exactly why I want to talk about one of my favorite tools: task cards. In this episode, I’m breaking down the valuable benefits of using task cards not because they’re cute or trendy, but because they actually make grammar (and every subject, really) easier to teach, easier to review, and way more engaging for students.
Whether you’re brand new to using task cards or already have a few decks tucked away, you’ll walk away from this episode with practical ways to use them for spiral review, quick skill checks, and differentiation without adding more to your already full plate.

- How task cards help target specific skills in short, effective bursts

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
