I’ve been doing a version of this with my students (thanks for the inspo!) and their projects are incredible. 😭 It’s so cool to see what they come up with.

Love this idea!! I’ve been slowly bringing literary theory into my classroom and it’s been awesome (and intimidating). What does the essay look like? Can they choose a topic?

I love this book so much. I think about Benji all the time 🥹😂 if you haven’t already read it, Backman’s Anxious People is also amazing!!

Your podcast project asking if poetry is not a luxury, what is it? I love that framing.

Is there any way you could send me the resources too? I’m in the same boat — brand new to teaching research 😅

Students read “Monuments to the Unthinkable” by Clint Smith. They whined about it being 30 pages, but ultimately had the best conversations and really grappled with the nuances. Their final project was a podcast discussing rhetorical choices, and they smashed it!

I’m not sure if this fits exactly what you’re looking for but Everything Sad is Untrue has a very stream of consciousness feeling for me.
