Taken from Deborah Dean’s “What Works in Writing Instruction”
Page of a textbook saying “Technology can help with keeping track of their learning. A web scrap-book-an online tool that writers can use to keep track of information (the Center for History and New Media offers an example here: chnm.gmu.edu/tools/ scrapbook)-allows writers to collect online information in one place; it also allows them to comment on and annotate these items. This tool can be collabora-tive, too, but its benefit is that it provides a way for writers, alone or in groups, to collect and then comment on the information they gather. Other similar online tools include Live Binders (www.livebinders.com) and Zotero (www.zotero .org). I'm sure more will be available, even by the time this book is printed. We just need to be aware of the options for our students.”

We have both cried already. We are now watching Doc McStuffins. Maybe I will call off of my tutoring hours tonight. #TheWorldMayNeverKnow
An exhausted mother holding her disgruntled child on the couch. The toddler is holding a rainbow kitty cat. The mother is supposed to be reviewing job applications, grading, essays, or writing seminar papers. None of these things are happening.

It’s a silly little activity, but you can challenge your students to write alt text for memes. I let them choose any meme and gave them this as an example, explaining that memes work because of layers of cultural knowledge that they have to explain in the alt text.
Image is of a Google slide. The left side shows text, first saying “Ms. Grosh” and under that is “Explanation: Image shows Harry Potter holding a wand and laying over Cedric Diggory’s dead body. Cedric is his friend and was just killed by Harry’s arch-rival, Lord Voldemort. Text on the meme says, “No! Come back! Don’t go into the twilight!” The context for this text is that Cedric Diggory’s actor, Robert Pattinson, later plays the lead love interest in the Twilight movies, which are understood to be horrible and problematic movies.” The right side is of the image explained on the left side.
