@melaltersmith.bsky.social and #TeachLivingPoets helped me realize how collaborative, insightful, and meaningful poetry can be in EVERY classroom. So grateful for the lesson ideas, guidance, and those fleeting Twitter chats! This post reminded me of that work, and has some great poetry linked!

My ride or die @jessycamathews.bsky.social teaches this course in Flint. I would rec everything on #teachlivingpoets website for modern AP level poetry lessons. The upper class kids tend to love Nubia.

Getting ready to start the journey that is #NBE3U with my students this week and definitely feeling the power of "i am graffiti" to begin anew.

It somehow hits different in today's context.

Made it to my favorite part of the unit. The seniors crushed their unit exam essays, so I'm excited for this choice board. For clarity, we read When We Make It by Elisabet Velasquez. #TeachLivingPoets

Am Lit's TEWWG project is a 10-song playlist studying Janie's characterization. Ultimately, they have to write a letter to Janie using their playlist to introduce what her character teaches them about America. Here's the beginning of my playlist.

SOLANGE ofc. #TeachLivingPoets

Here's the unit I built and am working through with my students. It is how I'm teaching through grief and how I'm asking students to meet me in this moment. First, we read and annotated Lorde's "Poetry is not a Luxury." #TeachLivingPoets #APLit...
