If one ponders the infinite possibilities or potential parallel universes created by each decision, a mental fight, flight, or freeze reflex takes hold. I feel overwhelmed by the near impossibility of <i>me</i>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Calculating these moments of fateful decision-making as they compound exponentially through ancestors and time, I freeze in awe not just of my own existence but also of everyone and every historical consequence throughout human history.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">And it's not just the choices my ancestors made but also the choices made for them, about them, and around them that continue to shape reality in ways foreseen and unforeseen. For we are all part of a great human tapestry women both together and in isolation, and the thread I carefully weave might be reinforced or unraveled by another.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If we let ourselves really think about the weight of our choices, feel the ramifications of each decision, even the mundane "What do I want for dinner?" would induce crippling fear of negative or unforeseen consequences. So we continue in darkness, in the space between potential universes, under the illusion that some choices matter more than others. </span></p>Amber Countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17285569188132819793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249381310059296321.post-19793660249159609582023-12-07T13:51:00.003-06:002023-12-07T13:51:40.476-06:00Memories, Forgotten<p><span style="font-family: arial;">12/4/23</span></p><p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;

Students felt comfortable writing a poem of at least 15 lines (in honor of </span><span style="font-family: courier;">R</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: courier;">í</span><span style="font-family: courier;">os's stanza length) on a holiday of their choice in any tone and structure. I believe it is important to approach such topics with an inclusive attitude rather than the traditional "what do you love about Christmas?" approach.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: courier;">Since Halloween was on the horizon, I modeled the following writing process as my students worked on their poems. I have included my draft with revisions as well as the final product. I like to show them that writing is always a process, so they see me look at what I've written, make a face, take time to think of elusive words, and choose or create visuals to add alongside my text.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAyK18Zjj3BapK0v2oVZDk5DMF7BCUVa6L2NCv0RJnUfg1MmCJs3yy2U0AI7NXUQO4RM4WvTmbxtrcjJUa8U4IGCYukcoM-Scrnk5wJyeseRbX0r0pRc04bG7zhWlvN0NDR7bN2pZx9kAyDpEVHNSb2vpFrJK8Hlzc1D98U3I81a47rclvkB-r3E1aA/s520/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-03%20at%207.49.11%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="424" data-original-width="520" height="522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbAyK18Zjj3BapK0v2oVZDk5DMF7BCUVa6L2NCv0RJnUfg1MmCJs3yy2U0AI7NXUQO4RM4WvTmbxtrcjJUa8U4IGCYukcoM-Scrnk5wJyeseRbX0r0pRc04bG7zhWlvN0NDR7bN2pZx9kAyDpEVHNSb2vpFrJK8Hlzc1D98U3I81a47rclvkB-r3E1aA/w640-h522/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-03%20at%207.49.11%20AM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhylBLNypLGVdU0AIwykRhp9LqnSV0UNO-Ac_vML98ya84sLP3eoarG7xtVmO4wYmulu9aPWdgGK3OZhkSXLALydDTZBfyurp5ZlPPctjFq1UirrHgcA2_Mz_D6yv0kHwAKizCQpYmBUmF8dKWbM1njFeWMjCDMXFAQo3AJTvZGFp9xRVuYX2DtQd-kFw/s693/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-03%20at%207.49.27%20AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="468" data-original-width="693" height="432" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhylBLNypLGVdU0AIwykRhp9LqnSV0UNO-Ac_vML98ya84sLP3eoarG7xtVmO4wYmulu9aPWdgGK3OZhkSXLALydDTZBfyurp5ZlPPctjFq1UirrHgcA2_Mz_D6yv0kHwAKizCQpYmBUmF8dKWbM1njFeWMjCDMXFAQo3AJTvZGFp9xRVuYX2DtQd-kFw/w640-h432/Screen%20Shot%202022-11-03%20at%207.49.27%20AM.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: courier;"><br /></span><p></p>Amber Countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17285569188132819793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249381310059296321.post-71962698032424730252021-04-13T12:19:00.000-05:002021-04-13T12:19:14.089-05:00Proctoring: a stream-of-consciousness poem<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7eQEXqV1SAk/YHXSHt0pZjI/AAAAAAAAKec/jz5D2h7_HVIEE-Zn6ksDG0haDoEITugawCLcBGAsYHQ/image.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="690" data-original-width="511" height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7eQEXqV1SAk/YHXSHt0pZjI/AAAAAAAAKec/jz5D2h7_HVIEE-Zn6ksDG0haDoEITugawCLcBGAsYHQ/w475-h640/image.png" width="475" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Amber Countshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17285569188132819793noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5249381310059296321.post-10988646937118957352020-06-03T20:37:00.000-05:002020-06-03T20:37:36.932-05:00Writing with Mentor Texts #3: The To Un-do ListMentor text (from movingwriters.org):<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
They staged a protest in front of my school;<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I selfishly worried that they might loot my classroom,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
as my window faces the front of the building.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I thought about all the treasures I might lose –<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
drawings made by students, little scraps of origami<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
with notes to the teacher, framed photos of students<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
who graduated years ago,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
stuffed animals<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
representing inside class jokes –<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
representing the class culture I always work to build –<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
the inclusive culture I always hope to build –<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
and I think about the students who left these treasures behind:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
many of them students of color.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
And I think about the ways I fell short.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I think about the ways I continue to learn and to do better.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I think about how when I started to draw sketches of my favorite authors,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I began with white ones. Three, in all, before adding my favorite black authors.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Though this was unintentional,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
the fact remains that I <i>see</i> what I did.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
I see the inadvertent message I sent<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
when only those 3 white authors hung on my wall.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
more than I worry about the people who feel moved to loot them.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
yesterday evening outside of my school<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

I joined them in the activity, and this is the result. I think this is a great writing activity for students, of course, but also an opportunity for teachers to share something of themselves with their students. I also asked them to mark at least 3 literary devices they incorporated into their pieces. A few of the devices I labeled for them in this poem include: anaphora, parentheticals, intentional fragments, and shifts.</i></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My son is an interesting young man. He is equal parts nerd,
laid-back surfer (this is so unfortunate, seeing that where we live is land-locked),
hopeless romantic, and adventure-seeker. To illustrate just how “chill” he is,
when I asked what he thought about this description, he said “I can dig it.”
His unique personality has enabled him to get along with a wide range of
people. He talks about how regularly visiting his great-grandmothers taught him
patience and to value the life experience and stories of seniors. His big
sister taught him even more patience and how to be friends with people several
years older and, incidentally, in a different generation (she’s a millennial; he’s
Gen Z). His calm, people-pleasing demeanor has served him well as a lifeguard,
a barista, and at his current position. He often shares stories about the
variety of people he meets – of different ages and backgrounds – and how
interesting they are. Recently, he shared a different anecdote with me. He
failed to connect with a baby boomer because he said “no problem” instead of “you’re
welcome.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“You can’t say that!” I exclaimed when he shared the story
with me. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It’s rude! Of course it shouldn’t be a ‘problem’ to help
someone. You’re at work to serve <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">them</i>!
If you want to piss off a boomer, that’s a quick way to do it. Just say ‘you’re
welcome’!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“No.” he replied.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“What?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Let me explain…”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thus began a conversation about why many people in his
generation say “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome,” and I have to say: he
won me over.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He explained that “you’re welcome” implies that it has been
an imposition to ask for whatever service was needed and that the customer has
taken some of your time and effort, and for that, they should feel “welcome” to
that time. It implies that even though it was mutually beneficial, the exchange
has taken something from the person who provided the service – something they
can never get back, like time. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He further explained that “no problem” means that he sees it
as absolutely no imposition at all to help the customer because that is his
sole purpose for being there, and that no thanks are necessary. He does not
feel that there has been an exchange in which he had to give something up, like
time, because he is truly happy to help.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m not saying that I haven’t been annoyed by a millennial or
two (or several) who have said <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“no problem” in an off-handed, lazy way, but I’ve
been just as annoyed by workers who don’t say anything or say something automatic
and insincere (like “have a good day” when it’s 11 p.m.). I especially hate it
when I’m the one who says “thank you” when it should be them saying it to me!</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My son received, by his estimate, a 5-minute lecture from
the customer about saying “no problem” instead of “you’re welcome.” He did not
explain his choice to the man at that point because he just wanted to listen
respectfully and restore peace. He has learned from the experience and will
consider switching to “you’re welcome” to avoid inadvertently offending
someone, but we must do our part, too. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Boomers, Gen Xers: I challenge you all to talk to young
people about the choices behind their language. Young people change and adapt language
in every generation. We can never forget that intention and tone matter at
least as much as the words themselves. Remember to react from a place of
compassion even when you feel you’ve been slighted, and for that reminder – you’re
welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I definitely have a favorite place, but I have written a prose piece about it previously - one I share with my students. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to take that prose piece and clip lines from it in order to cosntruct a poem. I actually found this really rewarding, as it prompted me to think about which lines are truly important and which aspects of the experience are worthy of repeating as I transformed the message into a new genre. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I also refrained from using any punctuation at all - quite a feat for me! I do enjoy a good punctuation mark ;) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><i><b>What books nudged you as a reader?</b></i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I did trace my hand on the page of my journal (boy, are some of my fingers crooked!), and I began filling it with the books my mom read to me, the ones I read during the year that influenced me the most (4th grade), and the books I read during adolescence. I listed such an absurd variety of texts, but I am so glad that those books allowed me to explore the world. The greatest gift my mom gave to me (other than my life, of course) is a love of reading. </span><br />

I am already behind, but I will write 2-3 poems on days I can, and hey - any amount of writing is always better than none. I am writing this during reading (SSR) time in class, so please keep in mind that this is a quickly-scrawled draft. This is no masterpiece, but it means something to me today, in this moment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Please look for inspiration here: <a href="http://www.ethicalela.com/one-verselove2019/">http://www.ethicalela.com/one-verselove2019/</a> #verselove</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Instructions were to write about something good. I noticed, as I started drafting, that I had a lot of sound imagery, starting with my original first line "It might sound trite..." (which I crossed out), so I stuck with sounds. I might complete a series with other sensory imagery as well. The #verselove blog also suggested playing with dashes and repetition. I ended up with only one dash and a sprinkle of repetition. Thanks to all my family and friends for your sounds of laughter and love - I thought of many more people and examples than I had time to write about today.</span><br />

Their experiences will vary greatly depending on religion, income, traditions, family structure, and at the high school level, many of our students work during weekends and holiday events like "Black Friday." If we ask them to use a holiday as inspiration for writing, it is important to think about how we word those prompts. We must make it safe not to have the common or "traditional" experience. With a holiday as controversial as Thanksgiving, we must make it safe for students to express a variety of feelings about the holiday itself, issues with family dynamics or lost loved ones, and other age-related topics ranging from sitting at the kids' table to worrying about the last round of college applications. Of course, in true workshop method, the best way to model sharing in a safe atmosphere is to write with your kids. This year, I decided to focus on how I felt about Thanksgiving at different points in my life. I would adapt this a bit for a student writing prompt, or - better yet - I would ask them for ideas.<br />
<br />
Here's my poem inspired by Thanksgiving:<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I can’t remember how I came across the novel <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yellow Crocus</i> by Laila Ibrahim except
that I’m always searching for quality novels that portray both the diversity
and unity of the human spirit that my students might enjoy reading. I also
can’t remember how I came across a review for the novel while I was only about
a quarter of the way through the book, but I noted that several people on
<i>Goodreads </i>had given the book a low rating, citing “lack of torture” and the
fact that “it depicts a white woman who cares about a slave” as negative
aspects of the book. Because <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Yellow
Crocus</i> explores the lives of two strong female characters – one a wet
nurse and mammy who is forced to give up what little she has to care for the other
main character in her charge, I continued reading – ever mindful of whether or
not the book glossed over slavery as “not so bad” as one reviewer put it.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">That reader, and others like him, missed the entire point of

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Though Mattie has no choice but to leave her own infant son
behind in the slave quarters, raised by others, as she moves into the big house
to nurse and then raise baby Lisbeth, she <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">does</i>
love the innocent baby. She sings to her, soothes her when she’s sick, and
carefully teaches her life lessons – ever mindful of her “place” in the house
and in society. Critics who note the absence of torture seem to have missed
every instance of how traumatic life was for the enslaved characters in the
novel. Men have been tortured and murdered, and several knowingly risk their
lives just to learn to read and write. Families are regularly torn apart at the
whim of masters who sell their slaves to different owners. Even Mattie
eventually risks her life to flee to freedom with her newborn daughter, and
Lisbeth comes to find out that habitual rape of enslaved women by masters is
just one reason why Mattie risks it all to escape. “Happy” people, as some
reviewers called them, do not risk their lives to escape oppression. Strength and resiliency should never be mistaken for happiness. Perhaps
some readers lack the empathy and emotional depth to understand the pain that
enslaved people endure, and that sometimes focusing on the psychological
torture is just as important as describing the physical. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The relationship between Mattie and Lisbeth is key in this
novel, and Mattie plants the seeds that allow Lisbeth to grow into an
abolitionist against her family’s wishes. We cannot underestimate the power
that such real relationships had to change the course of
this nation’s history. Lisbeth saw Mattie as a human being. She loved her “more
than [her] own mama.” When we interact with people we’ve been told are
“others,” we gain empathy. This is a healing novel, and though it does not
provide a full picture of slavery or all experiences (no one book can do that,
nor does this one claim to do so), it shows that change occurs when we build
relationships based on our shared humanity. Laila Ibrahim provides a message of
hope that we still need as we work to heal racial tensions. Mattie and Lisbeth
note “the vast distance between us” even while looking into each other’s eyes,
but their love and mutual respect forms an unbreakable bond. Acknowledging that such relationships existed does not negate the horrors of slavery at all. It does quite the opposite, in fact; we should feel horrified that anyone was ever complicit in such crimes against feeling, thinking people, and stand up against ongoing injustice. This isn't another story in which the white lady saves a black person (at least 3 movies come to mind). Mattie saves Lisbeth, to quote <i>Titanic</i>, "in every way a person can be saved." Beautiful.</span></div>

Lunch hall duty (in between active monitoring, of course) provided time for me to write through my feelings as I approached this milestone. I debated whether or not to share this highly personal journal entry, but ultimately, this is who I am at this moment, and I believe in the power of writing to work through difficult emotions. The process did prove cathartic, so I share as a reminder that writing works, and the harder it is to write about something, the more we need to do it. I'm not sure if what I ended up with is poetry, prose, or incoherent rambling, but here it is - raw and real. It needs revision and editing, but I'm not going to do it this time. What I wrote through glassy eyes between checking passers-by for their ID badges is what will remain.<br />

I’m going to break blogging protocol and begin with the
admission that you probably aren’t about to read something you haven’t read
before. So why will this post continue on with approximately 1,000 more words?
It’s simple: the divide between English teachers who embrace workshop practices
and those who don’t continues, and I want to add to the throng of voices who
assure even the most adamantly opposed to workshop that it can, and does, work
wonders.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First, let me share a brief overview of my teaching experience.
I taught pre-AP (Honors) English 4 for one year. That was a dream! With no
standardized test to prepare for, I had the freedom to construct a curriculum
that focused on creative and real-world writing. We read. We wrote. We
reflected. We repeated. We became better readers, writers, and thinkers. Note
two things here:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->I say “we” because I instinctively felt that I
should write along with my students. Teachers of writing should write.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Ultimately, thinking has always been my goal.
Not just English. Certainly not how to bubble a Scantron. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Thinking</i>.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The next year, I began teaching AP English 4 – literature
and composition. The previous teacher of that course remained right across the
hall, and she frequently visited my room to check up on my progress. She had
traditional beliefs about how an AP class should be taught. “Students have to
read <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pride and Prejudice</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Heart of Darkness</i>,” she insisted, and
test prep should be the focus of the course. After all, AP courses are all
about passing the exam, right? (Yes, and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">thinking</i>,
I thought.)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But my pesky instincts and strong will intervened. That year
might have been a train wreck, as I tried to follow as much of her advice as I
could stomach (though I gave my students a choice about which Jane Austen novel
to read), but I also incorporated choice for two of the novels that students
read that year. I even tried something wacky – holding a Socratic seminar that
explored theme and author’s craft even though we had all read different books –
and it worked! I knew my class seemed more legitimately engaged than others I
had seen in the past, but I needed help. I
needed to know that I wasn’t crazy. I needed the pedagogical research behind
what I was trying to do. I needed examples for how this could work – especially
in an AP classroom. I needed support. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
At that point, my friend and mentor, Amy Rasmussen (see her
amazing blog <a href="https://threeteacherstalk.com/" target="_blank">here</a>) invited me to participate in the <a href="http://www.northstaroftexaswritingproject.org/" target="_blank">North Star of Texas WritingProject</a> summer institute. Hallelujah! The month of reading, writing, workshop,
and inquiry provided the tools I needed to implement workshop. Yes, even in an
AP classroom. And here is where I cannot take credit for what I will share. So
many trailblazers have come before me. Many quality books on workshop await
those who are curious, and Amy’s blog listed above is a valuable resource as
well. However, AP teachers seem especially resistant to the ideas of choice and
workshop. Here are some of my thoughts on the matter after incorporating choice
for the past 6 years in the AP classroom:<o:p></o:p></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Let me break that down further by focusing on
the word “read.” Teachers who think that their students are actually reading
those canonical works just because they’re assigned are woefully ignorant.
Seriously – Google the statistics if your students haven’t been honest with you
about it. Dedicated students will typically Sparknote or Schmoop it. Less
dedicated students will rely on classroom discussion or other means to fake it,
and multiple-choice tests make that easier to get away with. Sometimes, I hear
teachers explaining the entire text right before a test! I have to wonder what
rigorous work the students are doing in this scenario. <o:p></o:p></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->What makes any learning activity rigorous
depends on how much we’re taxing our brains to make meaning and synthesize new
ideas. If we create assignments that ask students to show their thinking about
a text, rather than giving a test on, say, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Beowulf</i>,
we put the responsibility on students to show us their learning in creative
ways. Differentiation is automatically built-in with quality assignments, and
“faking it” becomes almost impossible – especially when accompanied by…<o:p></o:p></div>

and writing conferences</b> – these are key to determining what your students
are reading, what they should be reading, how they are progressing, where their
individual obstacles exist so they can develop a plan to overcome them, and
helping them grow as writers. Teachers should be asking questions most of the
time – not merely providing answers. <o:p></o:p></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Providing
students with choice</b> doesn’t mean that students will all choose YA books
that don’t provide an adequate challenge, and the individual discussions help
with this. My course is divided into thematic units, and my syllabus lists
several choices between award-winning novels “of literary merit” in each unit
that range in genre, cultural heritage, and date of publication, so students are choosing, but
between good stuff. If a student wants to read something not on the list, they
simply talk to me about it. They often surprise me. <o:p></o:p></div>

Dickens in December, and another asked if she could read Franz Kafka’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The Trial</i>! That’s not in my syllabus. I
don’t have a multiple-choice test ready for it to “assess” her learning.
Instead, she completed a creative project over her novel, novel notes to help
her review the book before the AP exam, she wrote about it, and more
importantly – we <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">talked</i> about it. I
know she read it, and I know what she thought about while she read it. Magical.<o:p></o:p></div>

does their understanding of the text. This actually improves their chances of
successfully writing about the book on the AP exam!<o:p></o:p></div>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Finally, how does this prepare students for the
AP exam? For college? That takes me back to my initial focus on thinking. If we
provide students with choice, ask them to take personal responsibility for
their learning, and coach them through the reading, writing, and thinking
processes – which are all intertwined – they will be prepared for an exam
designed to assess their reading, writing, and analytical skills. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t know if I can satisfactorily answer the question
further because I don’t really understand it. How could workshop <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">fail</i> to prepare students for an exam?
Students read more. They write more. They think more rigorously.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Workshop seems like a no-brainer for those who implement it,
so why the divide? In my experience working with resistant teachers, these are
the common categories of concern:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Insecurity</b>
– it takes a lot of courage to write and think in front of students. We must
show our vulnerabilities. We must admit that we are not perfect. We don’t write
perfectly the first time we attempt it. Maybe we fumble over the right word, or
we misspell something in front of the class. Good! What a real, valuable
learning opportunity for students to see that all humans must work and think
through writing! But we must have courage and the confidence to know that we
have so much to offer our students.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2.<span style="font: 7.0pt "Times New Roman";">
</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Perceived
loss of control</b> – I say “perceived” because traditional teachers often <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">feel</i> that they have control while they
lecture, prescribe multiple-choice tests, and dictate reading choices. Students
actually gain quite a bit of control in these classes. They control whether or
not they tune out that lecture, whether or not they actually learn anything
along the way, and whether or not they actually read the assigned text. Again,
it’s really hard to fake these things in a workshop classroom. My classroom
often looks chaotic, but I walk around, listening to what my students think,
and instantly adapt my instruction to address the areas that <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">they </i>need addressed.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; text-indent: -.25in;">

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fear</b>
– administrators look at our test scores. They shouldn’t, really, but that’s
another blog post. Many teachers fear that anything but a traditional test-prep
approach won’t adequately prepare students for the test. Students should be
acquainted with the test format and have strategies going in, but ultimately,
the skills being tested are developed through workshop. Again, reading
comprehension, the ability to analyze a writer’s craft, and the ability to
write one’s own analysis develop as students <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">authentically</i> take part in these activities. So far, my students have outscored their peers in test-prep-focused courses.</div>

for the teacher </b>– yes and no. It’s just…different. It’s easier to pull out
that copy of a copy of a copy of an old multiple-choice test and grade a Scantron
than it is to grade authentic writing, discussions, or projects that show
students’ learning. It’s easier to give the same lecture for the gazillionth
time than it is to listen, adapt, and address student inquiry on the spot.
However, it’s also easier in a way to place some of the burden for a student’s
education on that student. When students are responsible for showing their
learning, explaining their writing process, and coming up with their own questions,
they direct and take ownership in their own learning. This is what it means to
be a teacher and not just a lecturer.<o:p></o:p></div>

For teachers still on the fence about taking the workshop
plunge, I recommend observing a teacher who implements the practice, attending
a <a href="https://www.nwp.org/" target="_blank">National Writing Project</a> workshop, and reading blogs and books on the topic.
The information and support is out there, and students everywhere deserve the
rigor that only workshop provides.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As a newcomer to the 2017 NWP and
NCTE conferences, I walked around in a perpetual state of astonishment and
sensory overload. The one refrain that reverberated through my mind, other than
“free books,” was the concept of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Tikkun
Olum</i>, roughly translated as “repair the world.” First conveyed during the
NWP plenary and repeated by several presenters throughout the NCTE conference,
I had heard this phrase previously through my Holocaust studies coursework at
UT Dallas and through training with the Holocaust Educator Network. The phrase
represents a belief which I hold dear, but hearing it again from a variety of
presenters at the conferences underscored just how important it is for each of
us to repair the parts of the world in which we live. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Teachers have the unique
opportunity to encourage young people to do the same, as most of us see over
one hundred children daily throughout the school-year and spend more time with
them, on average, than the other adults in their lives do. What if we could
bolster students’ empathy through reading and discussion and then – more
importantly – empower them to go forth and “repair the world”? As teachers of
English and language arts, we understand the importance between the texts we
read and their real-world implications. We understand patterns in society and
how literature warns us not to repeat mistakes of the past in a much more human
way than history does. We understand the power of language to change the world.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">How do we get our kids to see these
things? We must take the time to have our students make connections between the
texts they read and themselves, their friends, family, community, country,
world, and humanity as a whole. We must provide context for what they read and
connect fiction with non-fiction – in both fiction and non-fiction based
courses. Bring news articles into AP Literature and bring some poetry into a
class built around non-fiction, for example. We must empower our students to
see themselves as readers, writers, thinkers, and feelers by not simply providing
them with opportunities to write authentic pieces for real audiences, but
<i>expecting</i> them to do so. We must encourage risk-taking as they find their
voices and resist the urge to beat them down with formulaic writing and
artificial writing scenarios. Why not have high school English students
practice writing letters to senators, or have students submit their poetry to
national publications? Students could create public service announcement films
and publish them on YouTube. The possibilities are endless, but imagine the
engagement and ownership students will experience with these examples versus writing to
another STAAR prompt. We can still help them hone their craft along the way,
but students would learn that there is power in their writing.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While empowering students to make
change with the written word, we must also help them develop as oral
communicators. This nation is in crisis. The adults no longer know how to engage
in civil discourse. So what hope do our kids have, who spend most of their time
avoiding “awkward” social interactions while they stare instead at phone
screens? We must make conversation a centerpiece of our classrooms. Learning to
engage each other respectfully – especially when we disagree – is perhaps the
most powerful way that we can prepare our students to repair the world.</span></div>

How cool would it be if we captured an experience (positive or negative) each day through poetry? I had fun venting about one of my pet peeves in this poem I jotted in my journal in-between awkward encounters during which I had to tell people who wanted to sit by me that the empty seat was being saved. I grew increasingly tired of feeling awkward as I watched their expressions change to disappointment as they walked away.<br />
<br />
All of us do this from time to time. I have asked it of friends twice in the past week, but beware of expecting your friends to do this regularly. Who knows? You could end up the subject of such a poem:<br />

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">A Man Called Ove</i>
reminds me of the protagonist in Disney Pixar’s <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Up</i>, if only that cantankerous old man had been trying to kill
himself throughout the story. Ove, pronounced <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">ooh-vuh</i>, cannot let injustices – like choosing a BMW over a Saab –
go unchallenged. He lashes out at those who lack what, in his mind, amounts to
common sense and decency. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Much to Ove’s dismay, every time he methodically plans to do
himself in, he is interrupted by oblivious neighbors. As we journey with Ove
through his life via a sequence of flashbacks, we are reminded that no one
becomes so sullen without facing adversity and experiencing loss.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Through Ove’s recollections of his wife, we learn that Ove’s
capacity for love is boundless. Descriptions of how she curled her fingers into
his palm made me wonder what little habits I have that my husband notices, and
I became more mindful of the special mannerisms he has.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I would only recommend this book to mature readers. Though
the novel contains no licentious material, it requires a level of emotional
maturity and some real life experience to fully understand Ove and the people
around him. Because I felt so frustrated with Ove, I didn’t decide that I liked
the book until more than halfway through. Ultimately, Ove reminded me that everyone
plays important roles in the lives of others – the question is whether or not
we will have a positive or a negative impact in the lives we touch.</div>

<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Last year, I blogged about the importance of teaching students “<i>how</i> to
think – not <i>what</i> to think” in a post titled “<a href="http://ambercounts.blogspot.com/2016/07/teaching-in-heated-political-climate.html">Teaching
in a Heated Political Climate</a>.” I still firmly believe that students should
be taught to analyze rhetoric, obtain news from multiple and varied sources,
and most importantly to know <i><u>why</u></i> they think what they
think. I want them to understand media and political biases and also to
understand their own. I want them to realize when they are being manipulated.
Knowledge and literacy = power. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I still perceive my role as one of facilitator, as mediator, and
quite often as devil’s advocate as a means for evoking thoughtful dialogue,
debate, and mutual understanding. In my previous post, I posed these questions:</span></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #333333;">How can I
satisfy any of those roles if I am working toward a specific political agenda? </span></i></li>
<li><i style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="color: #333333;">How many parents
want their kids’ teachers telling them which candidate they should vote for?</span></i></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">And then the election rhetoric went wild. This isn’t the first
election through which I have taught high school seniors at or approaching
voting age. I truly believed that I held the secrets for facilitating
discussions that fostered a level of mutual respect and the ability to listen
to different views that most adults would envy. But as many voters noted, this
election was especially divisive. I imagine it was especially difficult for
certain teachers to remain impartial when the subject came up as a matter of
course, such as in government, economic, and history classes. As a matter of
fact, several students confided in me that some adults had told them outright
who to vote for. The students were not amused.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">However, this year seemed especially difficult to navigate as a
teacher of rhetoric. In an AP Language course that necessitates the study of
rhetoric, speeches, and the historical and cultural context and impact of
language, it became immensely difficult to examine the speeches of
now-President Donald Trump without pointing out logical fallacies, simple
diction containing vocabulary like “very, very bad,” “amazing,” and “big loser”
that is on an elementary level, and the overall negative tone of most
addresses. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Let me share my first disclaimer here: these are not political
views, nor are they arguable. This merely reflects the patterns of Trump’s
speech – something that we train students to examine. I refuse to assign value
to his ideas at all. Call me Ms. Switzerland. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">My plan going in was to present all current, relevant articles
in a balanced way. For instance, for every negative piece on a candidate, I
would share a positive one or one from a contrasting point of view. I pulled
pieces for both major candidates equally. However, the stark contrast between
the writing register (how fancy they write, for non-English majors), tone, and
level of logical fallacies or contradictions provided an unbalanced view on its
own, without me pointing those things out. Students began asking questions
about why Trump doesn’t use more specific words to communicate, asking
questions about hate-speech, and noting contradictions. Addressing those
questions without bias is nearly impossible. You simply cannot argue that our
President employs a dynamic vocabulary, even if he’s your best friend. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I responded by asking my students questions (instead of
supplying my own answers) about what audience that speech style would appeal
to, and I pulled an article about how many Americans thought that Al Gore
sounded “boring” and “too intellectual.” Then one girl asked: “But don’t we
want our president to be an intellectual?” It seemed that no matter how
carefully I worked to navigate through this year’s election cycle, the fact
that I had encouraged my students to question everything came back to bite me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">In the end, I began to pull current articles that had nothing to
do with the election, and we studied speeches of the past. To quote our
president, this was “sad.” I have never had students so interested in an
election and so willing to learn about what the candidates stood for. If we shy
away from deep exploration in school, where will they experience a more respectfully
facilitated deep discussion of timely, relevant issues? Students just don’t
care as much when the speechwriter has been dead for a hundred years or more,
even if they write as beautifully as Frederick Douglas. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Again, unintentional bias seems unavoidable in a class that
discusses the beauty and craftsmanship of Douglas’ words, and then the students
themselves note the stark contrast between his eloquence and the lack thereof
of some of our current leaders – on both sides of the aisle. My response to</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;">
this? An article on anti-intellectualism in America. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
