Follow Dave Eggers as he meets with students & teachers in the Rapid City, SD school district where his novel The Circle was pulled from shelves along with works by Alison Bechdel, Stephen Chbosky, Bernardine Evaristo & Imbolo Mbue.
I love this work because I know that my students' essays are read by these caring people. As our Chief Reader, @Steve_R_Price, reminded us each day: 1.1+ essays read 1 at a time!
Spent 7 days with this crew, 8 hours a day, helping score 1.1+ million essays for the #APLit exam. This week, I read & scored [insert insane number here] essays, made some great friends & enjoyed the experience of having over 500 fellow literature nerds trapped in one place!
