Art & Stories
Just putting this here to remind me to DO SOMETHING over summer break. Note: this was drafted the end of June, two days after school let out. What a weird year. But there is time, sun, and art to make. @miriam_hoffmann Reply to @sergio_gracia ♬ Spongebob – Dante9k https://www.tiktok.com/embed.js

There are some things “they” don’t teach in “teacher school” and ya know…”they” should.

Pathos, logos, and ethos take a holiday.
In addition to short films, commercials can be another valuable asset. Many commercials live on multiple places on Bloom’s Taxonomy, and certainly any argumentative reading and writing unit worth its salt contains at least one or two commercials to support a conversation about pathos, ethos, and logos. I just found this site this morning. This… Read More Pathos, logos, and ethos take a holiday.
As the girls grow…
My three Colorado amigas, the ladies I’ve known since middle school astound me. If I could present a tableau of the three of them, and show my middle school students, all genders, what the possibilities are for them outside of the testing and the tardy slips, beyond the perceived limitations, oh what a powerful message… Read More As the girls grow…
