Poetry In Context Paper Assignment Sheet
This assignment incorporates high quality writing through writer's workshop, history, research, and literary analysis. It's a challenging assignment, but one the students really enjoyed because they had a lot of autonomy in their poet, poems, and the direction they took the paper in. Even my most reluctant writers really enjoyed doing the research and conferencing with me on these! It situates the writing in context and connects to writing as a vehicle of power and wide communication. This is a

Joy Luck Club Reading Quizzes (4 total)
I love reading quizzes! For every reading that was assigned, my students knew there would be an open-notebook reading quiz to follow.

Great Depression/Dust Bowl - Social History - Read & Write Critically
Using Chapter 19 from John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath, students get a very real and relevant idea of what struggles Americans faced during the Great Depression and Dust Bowl. Steinbook wrote the book in the late-1930s while the Depression was still ongoing so the book stands as a kind of social commentary on the dilemma we were enduring. Chapter 19 serves as one of the "montage" (as I call them) chapters that break away from the main story and characters - in this case painting a picture of th
