Hip-hop Shakespeare Debate: Templates, Rubric, Research, Slides
I developed the Hip-hop Shakespeare Debate after thinking carefully about relevance for my students. This debate answers a question I struggled with for years: How can I get my students to authentically engage with Shakespeare's language and how language exposes cultural/societal norms? The Hip-hop Shakespeare debate not only addresses student relevance, it also engages students with the cognitively demanding, novel task of defending a hip-hop artist as "the Shakespeare of our time" with a defen

Personal Narrative: Blueprinting Places and Memories
This assignment allows students to draw, label, and reflect on a special place. I used this with HOUSE ON MANGO STREET, but it could be used for many literary works. This assignment can result in a personal narrative, an expository piece, or a persuasive piece (especially helpful for the STAAR EOC). My students wrote some amazing essays based on their blueprinting. I have seen this used in adult writing workshops; it is a powerful tool. Enjoy!

Reading Latin as the Romans Did: Ovid's Apollo and Daphne
The Romans didn't hunt and peck through a Latin sentence, finding the verb, then identifying the subject, object, etc. And one of the difficulties students face when reading Latin is adapting to the ambiguity that reading introduces and developing a sense of expectation for what comes next and what will complete a sentence or thought.This video accomplishes addresses both of those issues. Based on the idea of 'reading cards', basically index cards with a notch at the upper left cut out that are

The Lottery Personal Liberties Trial/Debate
I use this activity as an introduction to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." Before I assign the story, I give students the scenario on this handout, which asks them to debate the idea of personal freedoms versus the common good. Students are divided into defense, prosecution, and jury. I don't reveal what the "tradition" in question is--we are instead debating the town's right to have a tradition that the members of the town believe are for the common good.
