So excited for next week, and about the lesson on So excited for next week, and about the lesson on rhetoric and persuasive speech I just posted to Teachers Pay Teachers. It’s also a chance to explore media objectivity and bias as well as American history and women in politics. Content analysis and close reading, cooperative learning, Socratic discussion, and then multiple choice questions that help students get ready for standardized tests. All things to all people!
