In this episode, I express my insecurities and try to figure out what ee cummings was talking about and how I'm going to write the model essay for this unit.

Be prepared. This is weird. Very, very weird. You probably won't understand it all at first. I sure don't. How will be examine these poems by "being" and "unbeing." I have no answers, but we will roll through the muck and mud of these ideas together.

Poetry that reads like prose: Sanchez's "Reflections After the June 12th March for Disarmament"
7:20
Sometimes it looks like poetry, but reads like prose.
…
continue reading
No capital letters? Why? Sanchez writes here to reflect on a powerful, personal experience with a real person. Her words became a gift to him. Soak up the words, read more about the man, and then return to the letter to see what Sanchez is saying about walking, peace, bravery, and other things.
…
continue reading
Reading poetry by phrases, singly, and then reading them coherently reveals a focus on phrases and meanings that you would miss without such a dual practice.
…
continue reading
Sanchez is a poet, even when she writes prose.

Sometimes, I read something and injure myself. I think you'll hear the poetry Sanchez uses to describe her admiration of Norma.

First, I put it into one sentence, then taking it line by line as before, I tried reading the punctuation as if it were a noun. Hmmmm.
…
continue reading
Sometimes it helps to read and take it line by line, taking the meanings as they emerge. Perhaps god is a child. Perhaps god is a child's hand. Both could be true. And sometimes, it helps to read the text first without the parenthesis, adding them later when you can figure out the sentence. And sometimes, you still don't get it when you are finishe…

Sometimes you have to take out some words and reorder them. The disorder of the words in the poem seem to match the disorder in thinking that cummings explains at how we have no choice when the government makes a proclamation about war.

This one has been very difficult. The only thing that seems to make sense in reading it is to consider the verbs as nouns/concepts. The piece takes on a shuddering dread, as if recounting the process where living becomes death.

How do you even read this thing aloud? I tried it as if pretending to tell a story, realizing that it can no longer be told.

This one was hard to read. It feels like it is missing words, but I wonder if each stanza functions as it's own part of speech or clause... If we joyfully navigate ourselves into the future...(introductory dependent clause) as lovers who strive for the biblical oneness (appositive to describe ourselves and our relationship) how do we in our limited…

I'm impressed by how Specter ended the piece. Are you? Even if science doesn't have all the answers, I think I believe in some of the power of nothing.
…
continue reading
We continue to identify and name the ways in which Specter develops his ideas.
…
continue reading
We continue our chunking of the text, but hone in more about HOW the writer is using the signposts and other techniques to structure and deliver the line of reasoning.
…
continue reading
We continue the piece, noting where the text structure changes that help use trace the line of reasoning. Startling statistics continue to be a part of what we see that help us understand the severity and complexity of the problems.

Malaria was a global killer before COVID. And you'll find some surprising similarities and contrasts. In this podcast, I model how we chunk texts as we read by noticing what the writer is doing with the organization of paragraphs and passages. By doing so, we understand and follow the writer's logical reasoning. Apparent in this text also are Start…

Y'all. I was reading Orwell today for a lesson plan. I was astounded at how the end of his essay on "Politics and the English Language" mirrored what we have been considering in the writing institute. Astounded.

In this episode, I read aloud from an essay Orwell wrote between Animal Farm and 1984. As I read, I model reading strategies and how I am tracking my purpose for reading: to find out how this essay led to the concept of Newspeak.

In this episode, I read from Natalie Goldberg's chapter "Writing is not a McDonald's Hamburger" from Writing Down the Bones. I consider the implications for fake writing day and prompt driven, standardized assessment for on demand writing.

In this episode, I focus on setting a purpose for reading, pausing to summarize, question, and research.

continue reading
As I read aloud, I am modeling how we pause to connect, ask questions, and use text evidence to support our metacognition and initial comprehension.

In this episode, I walk through the Comprehension TEKS to share ideas about what the metacognitive skills are that we will be using in the IBD unit, Dealing with Difficulty.
