@matheeli Throughline from NPR is great, some are a little longer, but most are single episodes, historical connections.

This woman continues to inspire and fuel the important work of literacy education by advocating for what is best for students. Thank you @pennykittle! PLEASE read this, @BetsyDeVosED and step up for our students!

A great text for introducing analysis threeteacherstalk.com/2020/03/20/a-g…

@magicalmsmurphy @vperson Awesome activity, thank you for sharing!

Comparing, contrasting, and analyzing poetry today in AP Lit—this students always bring it and commit to the work!

@lisameyers2003 @WelchStamos @hollcrispsher Great choices, I have read a few and toyed with the idea of a similar round of Lit Circles-I'd love to know what you did and how it went! Another great text that would fit (and my juniors enjoyed for summer reading) is The Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez.

@SwinehartJulie @ncte I also have students write/create synthesis prompts! Such a great way to implement autonomy and practice for the exam in a more meaningful-than-a-timed-writing way. Great post, thanks for sharing!

I love the idea of creating adaptable editing stations that focus students on one element at a time--great idea!

More intentional peer editing and peer discussion over multiple genres of writing is my goal for 2020-21 for all my classes. Thanks for this idea @magicalmsmurphy!

I think effective teachers are not driven by the standards; they’re driven by the needs of their kids. They understand the curriculum and they teach what is required but it’s always in the context of understanding where their students are, and what it takes to move them forward.

Brainstorming presentation mediums for 11th grade S to present their group inquiry projects that require tech. Ss will have choice of creating an infographic, powtoon, video, podcast, or use inkle--any new ideas/platforms I should look into? Thanks!

My own professional goals included more poetry in the classroom--luckily, my school has a tradition of participating in Poetry Out Loud. Check it out on @3TeachersTalk!

"The truth is, teaching is an unsustainable profession if we don’t give ourselves permission to curate." @litreader, thank you for the reminder as I enter a new season of my life.

Still thinking about yesterday’s student screening of “Coded Bias” at #Sundance2020 #SundanceFilmFestival thanks @shalinikantayya for your work and promoting an awesome discussion with students in our classrooms! Thought provoking film. @JudgePride
