Teaching Artifacts

Students discuss articles and TED Talks, comparing the central ideas they discovered, working to effectively and concisely summarize the texts.

Students evaluate a variety of articles on the same topic, then engage in a class discussion o the different rhetorical appeals, audiences, and purposes.

Students discussed specific quotes they highlighted in Elizabeth Wardle's article "Identity, Authority, and Learning to Write in New Workplaces."

Students consider various conflicts from a literary text and debate how they intersect, using discussion as an essay writing prompt. 

Students analyze a narrative essay and make group annotations concerning specific devices and their function. 

Students create a slide to present about perspective and tone in a favorite passage from the current class novel.
