Discussion questions for "Strange Fruit" :
What is this poem saying about Southern culture?
What is the significance of the analogy comparing lynching victims to fruit on a tree?
What is the poem protesting and is it effective?

[KMarnati @KMarnati]

Does the comparison of lynching to fruit make it easier to swallow; how so?
How does the structure (rhyme scheme, short, song, poem) impact the meaning of the piece?

Last day of class. How did it go so fast? #TSUEngMAE

Nothing feels better than finishing a class early. Now I can focus on revising my unit plan. Bye ED 624G. #TSUEngMAE

I am working on my first unit plan on how YA books can address social justice in the class. Does anyone have ideas/advice for me to keep in mind while I'm revising? #NCTEvillage #TSUEngMAE

[KMarnati @KMarnati]

I'm done with the first drafts for all of my unit plan pieces. Now it's revision time! #TSUEngMAE

"When man makes of woman the Other, he may, then, expect her to manifest deep-seated tendencies toward complicity." -"Women as Other" by Simone de Beauvoir;
Sorry men, I am not complicit #TSUEngMAE

[KMarnati @KMarnati]

I'm excited to plan my first unit on using ya lit to explore social justice in the classroom! Grad school is preparing me for teacher life #TSUEngMAE

I write to help me get the words out that I can't say out loud. I can express my emotions better if I can write out what's causing me anxiety before verbally expressing myself. #WhyIWrite #TSUEngMAE

Unfortunately, things aren’t going too well right now. However, I just finished reading The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas for class. Her book reminded me that I do have a voice and the power to fight for what's right. I just hope that everything works out. @angiecthomas #TSUEngMAE

Having diverse books in the classroom is so important for students. Thanks to @isabelallende for bringing this to my attention: Penguin Random House @penguinrandom is donating $1 to @diversebooks every time #CuentosUnidos is posted to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month! #TSUEngMAE

I'm 1/3 of the way done with my literature review so far #TSUEngMAE

Thanks to “Class on Fire: Using The Hunger Games Trilogy to Encourage Social Action” by Amber M. Simmons, I have finished all 8 of my annotations and ended with one of my favorite series! #TSUEngMAE

I've been subbing at my local middle school lately. I've decided to get certified in middle school English and math! A teacher there inspired me to do both! #TSUEngMAE
