My PD day coworkers hoping they receive credit too

A student included a playlist on the back of their quiz to match with the scene they analyzed from A Thousand Splendid Suns #aboveandbeyond #APLit (great new idea for an activity in class!)

[Amy Worob @amyworob]

You have no idea how excited I am to decorate the hall with student work again. #APLit #AThousandSplendidSuns #vandyreads

[Amy Worob @amyworob]

#TopChef has inspired my first post-AP exam activity: Learning how to cook in a college dorm room with a low budget! I’m beyond excited about this. #APLit

@ViperLibrary @texasbookfest @LeanderISD_Lib @MuggleMallory @katiejuhree @Kiki_mulligan @Stampy_stamps23 @fiercely_fulton Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo! I’m binge reading all her books and I’m obsessed!

Watch Amanda Gorman, the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history, recite her poem “The Hill We Climb” at President Biden's inauguration. https://t.co/5yi8RThWd9

No, not RBG. What a colossal loss. What a lioness. She taught us all how to fight, how to fight cancer, how to fight for justice, how to fight for our lives.

Loved getting to meet with my writing group today! So did my coworker. After skipping it the last couple weeks with the start of school and moving, I found I actually missed my writing time. Maybe it’s time to start doing more than once a week?! #writerswrite

[Amy Worob @amyworob]

Got an email from a former student today saying that I helped them love English class and if that isn’t the best compliment, I don’t know what is. 🥺

New YA rom com concept: To save the post office, one girl starts writing letters to random addresses. Then, one day, she gets one back. There’s a subplot where they compete to use the cutest possible stamp.

@profconnors my school district is doing a graphic novel unit next year in our new curriculum and look at what one of our summer PD reading options is! I’m still using many things I learned in your class years later, thank you!

[Amy Worob @amyworob]

Had another moment of buying a bunch of books before finishing the ones I have. So excited to have gotten my hands on this one!

[Amy Worob @amyworob]

So excited to start this one!

@rwhitney_VT @triciaebarvia Have kids pick choice books and have them figure out how hero’s journey appears in their books in similar and different ways.

[Amy Worob @amyworob]

Y’all, this book is seriously so good! It’s been awhile since I liked a book this much! 10/10 recommend, so well deserved!

English teachers - don't just expose students stories of Black trauma. "As we read all the race and racism books, we must also read books about Black people—especially Black children—just…living." @getnicced https://t.co/uzIRb8dI6x

[I'm on BlueSky now @athenakugblenu]

Please read happy Black books too. We don't just write about slavery and colonialism. Consume Black history and art about anything. It all helps to decenter whiteness

[Emmanuel Acho @EmmanuelAcho]

Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

[George M Johnson Garçon @IamGMJohnson]

Support Black books ✊🏾
