Wow! This is an amazing analysis. Turns out I’m going to be spending today brainstorming how to use this in my class. It would work in ANY of my units in #aplang — it’s rhetorical analysis, argument, synthesis, and it’s multimodal media literacy! @ncte

While at @HBWProgram today, I talked to students about what they were learning in their science classes and visited a literature class where I discussed the topics they are preparing to write about for a report due next week.
@PlanetWordDC tonight was incredible! I cannot wait to get back with all of my students! I might just bring the whole school. Highlight was running into a former student who is now an APS English teacher too! @APS_ELA

A big #lovehb thank you to @KizzyPhD Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, @nihaid immunologist & co-developer of the @moderna_tx COVID-19 vaccine, for speaking w our students & staff today. As a kid, thought science was cool and fun. Her advice: be empathic. #BHM#MakingHistory@Nekya_HB
Just like driving requires an exam, #socialmedia users should be required to take a 15-minute #medialiteracy course, followed by a quiz, before using their platform of choice. https://t.co/MFhtwOKQLx
Excited my amazing colleague @Nekya_HB brought Dr. Kizzmekia Corbett, Scientist and Co-Developer of Moderna Coronavirus Vaccine, to talk with our students today. I'm amazed at her gracious answer for skeptics reminding us to listen to each other/be empathic. #BHM#MakingHistory
