My message to the #APLit readers after our successful 2023 reading.
Thank you, everyone, for what you've done for the students this week, reading carefully, accurately, and respectfully, from the first essay to the last. See you in 2024. Until then, be a #proudteacher!

A lot of people at the #APLit reading have kindly asked about Ethel. She says hello from back in Mississippi, where she’s chillin’ on the deck.

@LBoydEDU @susangbarber I love that we were together to hear him read at the Savannah Book Festival this year.

@Steve_R_Price Clearly you don't teach at a public high school, @Steve_R_Price.

Teaching English may not be a perfect job, but I require zero training on how to avoid sharks and never have to guide a shark’s very large mouth away from my body.

@erik_palmer @susangbarber And, neither are drag shows or gender-affirming care!

@Steve_R_Price So jealous! Our bakery 2 blocks away closed. My life is less wonderful as a result.

When the pop-up baker lives three doors away, it’s hard to resist.

As a HS teacher, I understand Shepherd's analysis of the supportive role of hoodies for students in the midst of the pandemic (10 of 120 students were out for 5 days in the past week). However, I draw the line when hoodie-wearing students complain of the heat in GA in Aug.

@MelAlterSmith @wwnorton @susangbarber @LNCharter @WWNortonHS @nortoneducation Can I be in your class, Mel?

AP Lit currently reading: The Norton Guide to AP Literature: Writing & Skills Chapter 5 on how to write a Literary Argument essay. Love starting my days with this brilliant bunch! 🌟🤓 #aplit #teachersoftwitter #teacherresources

I have the incredible honor of teaching incredible students was an both AP Lang and AP Lit. So, this is my second year with these kiddos who are officially seniors, and this is their LAST first day of school. #APLitchat #lastfirstday

@susangbarber I teach only AP courses (Lang, Lit, Seminar, and Research), and I read aloud every day--even if it is only a stanza or a paragraph. Hearing language is so powerful. Reading a paragraph or stanza out loud provides students an entry point and instills confidence, which is crucial
English
Read alouds benefit ALL ages - adults included. Please read to your secondary students during the year.

Challenge engenders change and builds empathy.

Unfortunate that some need to hear this nowadays, but part of an ongoing education is learning things that conflict with what you thought you knew. That’s a good thing. Growth. I’m unapologetically glad as a teacher when people encounter new, conflicting ideas.

Retweet if you believe we need a nationwide ban on assault weapons.

@susangbarber @stmichaelhayden @CarolJago I use the metaphor of sports/arts practice, which my students get since many play on teams or perform in the arts. Each day, they practice, study plays/music/scripts, eat healthful foods, and drink plenty of water. None earns direct points on the scoreboard or in judging.
English
@stmichaelhayden @CarolJago I don't give feedback on everything - it's just not possible. Complaints about not grading? We talk a lot about exercising our writing muscle and the daily writing is a part of it. There's a pay off with the practice, but it's not a grade.
English
Writing has received short shrift these past 2 years.
Student writing is unlikely to improve unless students write more. Lots more.
