Who can share what it looks like to use Poetry Pauses in a 48-minute HS ELA class period when also teaching a short story or seminal document? How did you prep students for the routine? When did you start? First day? 2nd week? #PoetryPauses #teachingpoetry #EnglishTeachers #EduSky 🍎 #iteachenglish📖

I feel like we've been saying this forever but it's worth saying again. Book bans do not exist in a vacuum. They're not one off events. Book bans are the canary in the coal mine. They usher in an era of censorship, fascism, violent scapegoating. Authors, join the fight: @authorsabb.bsky.social!!

Every time I see teachers post about reading The Poet X in class, my heart breaks a little because my school district banned it. It remains the most powerful catalyst to get teens reading I’ve ever taught. #anti-intellectualism #iteachenglish📖 #edusky🍎 #booksky #bannedbooks

Black people tried to tell y’all that racism and white supremacy harms everyone, but we were ignored. Too many thought white supremacy only harms Black or Jewish people. Now we got neo nazi’s in the White House.
