Last week, we were discussing, in 11, how English teachers are “merchants of doom,” leaning on the heavy material because it gives us more to explore.
And here’s Vogelsinger sending this one out for us to take a break from that!

🌱All week on Moving Writers: Poetry Pauses for Hope.
It's a series of tiny lessons, easy to integrate, that get students contemplating and writing about hope.
The first poem? Emily Dickinson, of course, with a twist you may not have tried before.

English Teacher hive mind: I’m about to start prepping to teach Daniel Kraus’ Whalefall.
Anybody tackled this one yet? Any insights? (I haven’t done much of a search yet to see what’s out there. It’s been a minute since I tackled a fresh book without a ton of resources)

Saw Sinners tonight.
I love, love, love when a movie “reads” like a novel. The ol’ English TeacherBrain was tickled at all the threads to pull at.

@ericvespe.bsky.social I fell behind on yer pods in the back half of the winter. As I catch up, I have to thank you for the Larry Hama episode. Such a neat look into some formative childhood lore!

My current tiny joy is withholding the next title that we’re doing in Lit class until we start the book next week.
A couple of them want to know what it is so badly that they’ve insisted I tell them a book that it isn’t each day.

Had to put my book down to avoid the fact that I think one of my fave authors is gonna kill a character I really like.
Finally watched Heretic. I’m totally here for the character actor era of Hugh Grant.

A dystopia loving dad and his musical loving daughter finally sat down to watch O’dessa tonight.
Killer songs, and lots of great visuals… just a little bit too much going on. 100% a vehicle for Sadie Sink though.

I often do my own thing when we’re out shopping as a family. Found a graphic t sale, bought each of us one… buying my youngest the same shirt she was wearing was pretty funny.

I have a little under an hour before I have to take my kid to a dance performance, and I just dropped into my cozy reading chair, got settled, and realized one book is on the other side of the room, the other upstairs. Le sigh.

A colleague asked me if so could find an activity we had developed together.
It took some digging, but I found it. A folder I kind of forgot about.
And that folder was full of other stuff we’d developed, & I’d forgotten about.
