High School ELA
Fishtank ELA for 9th–12th Grade
In high school, Fishtank ELA offers knowledge-building units centered around engaging, increasingly complex texts. Fishtank ELA prioritizes both academic discourse and writing in every lesson to develop students' fluency, confidence, and content knowledge. Each high school course is grounded in a question that guides students' yearlong exploration of core texts and supporting materials.
Educator Spotlight
"In many ways, Fishtank taught me just as much as it taught my students. I found this resource as a first-year teacher and I was so impressed with the higher-thinking questions, and how the curriculum encouraged critical thinking, that I tried to develop all of my teachings to achieve the same goals."

"Compared to other curriculum I have worked with before, I feel like the students have a lot more opportunity to be the guides and the talkers in the classroom...this curriculum is built to support more dialogue between teacher and students and between students themselves."
