The wonderfully complex world of teaching English Language Arts—otherwise known as ELA. The subject that has it all—novels, grammar drills, essays, creative writing, and that classic moment when a student asks, “Why do I need to know what a gerund is?” ELA isn’t just about reading books and writing essays. It’s about developing critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills that students will use for life.
