AP Lang & Creative Writing teacher here for #edusky and #booksky 💙📚 community

📖CR: Julia, a novel by Sandra Newman
Just finished my reread of this must read book, BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME by Ta-Nehisi Coates. I think I’ll be teaching this after our Crucible unit is over. Anyone have any during reading activities they love for this? #edusky #booksky 💙📚

In Creative Writing, my 9th and 10th graders did an imitation poem based on Hanif Abdurraqib’s “It Is Maybe Time to Admit That Michael Jordan Definitely Pushed Off.” the only requirement was that it had to include a lot of ampersands in it. Here’s mine 🥰 #edusky #amwriting

Teachers who use current events: how are we helping students from marginalized communities navigate this time? I need them to have a lot of awareness for the AP Lang exam Q3, but also know some of them really can’t take the 24 hour news cycle, right now especially #edusky

Hi! 👋

I’m Cari, a high school English and Creative Writing teacher! I’m that teacher you can hear laughing with her students from down the hall, so I thought this photo would be a good introduction.

Here to chat books, pedagogy, and more on #edusky and #booksky
