Never stress over how to kickoff your week again while simultaneously engaging your students and inspiring meaningful dialogue followed by written responses!
Hi, I'm Laura Kebart! My goal is to help Middle School ELA Teachers go home a little bit earlier on Fridays knowing that their "Monday Plan" is in place.
For me, the haaaaardest thing about all the moving parts of teaching is trying to finish up at a decent time on Friday WITHOUT having to worry about what's happening in class on Monday.
I want to enjoy my weekends without the constant, weekly issue of stressing over getting each new week planned and started in class. Tying up loose ends from the week on Friday PLUS trying to make sure I know how to start class on Monday takes a LOT of time and mental energy!
Now couple all THAT 👆with the desire to spark genuine curiosity in even your most reluctant readers... Which means getting super organized and intentional with what's happening in class each week.
I want my students to wonder, seek, and find their passions. I do that by sharing real mysteries and unexplained curiosities so they can become curious, lifelong readers with a growing passion to learn.
Serving the needs of your students + saving time and energy each week is where The 32 Non-fiction ✨Monday Method✨ Mystery Collection comes in!
Let's take a closer look at everything you get!
The ✨MONDAY METHOD✨
Stop the endless online rabbit hole search each week for engaging nonfiction texts!
No more overwhelming online searching.
No more trying to write up questions for discussions.
No more struggling with which standards to use.
No more anxiety about how to engage your students.

FAQ's
This is a crazy good deal. Are you sure this just crap on a cracker?
Oh gosh, LOL! Nope, not at all. I'm a real teacher who created these resources to make things easier and more fun in your middle school ELA classroom. If you have questions after the fact, just email me! I check email twice a day and I'll respond as quickly as I possibly can😊
How do I organize the 32 Articles to use all through the school year?
It works by assigning them one day a week (like on Mondays):
- September = 4 articles
- October = 4 articles
- Combine Nov & Dec (holidays) = 4 articles
- January = 4 articles
- February = 4 articles
- March = 4 articles
- April = 4 articles
- May = 4 articles
How will I get the articles and bonuses after I purchase?
You'll get an email from me with this subject line:
Here are your mystery articles
Be sure to check your bulk/spam/junk/trash email folders just in case it ends up there. And remember, I'm here to help if you need anything! I'll take care of you after the fact if you feel stuck or can't find that email😊 [email protected]
What all comes with this when I purchase?
Everything will come to you in digital format via email. You'll be getting:
- 32 NonFiction Mystery Articles + Answer Keys + Lesson Plan Page w/ standards + Supplemental teaching slide for extension
- Every item is ready for digital upload to your online e-learning platform AND it's all ready for easy printing if you prefer hands-on, tangible items + a Google Slides version for more flexibility
Can I use this stuff even if I don't teach Middle School ELA?
Depends on what you're teaching! I've had teachers use these resources for as low as 4th/5th grade ELA and as high as 9th/10th grade, too. I've also had social studies teachers and humanities teachers get great value out of these items because they're so relevant to what they wanted to do in their classes. I've even had adult ESL teachers use them and email me to ask if I had more (and yes, I do now) since the topics are interesting, not juvenile or babyish, while still accessible for older readers at various stages of their reading journeys :-)
Do you offer refunds?
Due to the digital nature of the resources and the fact that you get complete, automatic access the moment payment goes through, there are zero refunds. The download link pops up right when you purchase, and it's also on the receipt that you get... AND it's delivered again via email. There's no way to retract access once payment goes through. There are no refunds (unless something goofy happens and you accidentally pay twice LOL). I know you'll enjoy using and re-using them all year long! Plus, that's why I generously offer the FULL sample set which is the entire 1st article suite +questions+answer key + supplemental slide so you can try them out first :-)
How long is each article designed to take in class?
- Each article set is designed to take approximately 40 minutes depending on your students, or depending on how quickly or how slowly you wish to move through each article set.
