In English 12, we discussed chapter 6 in Slaughter-House, and I showed them a video from Band of Brothers that depicted a concentration camp. I assigned them chapter 7, and told them they better read. One would think when I make threats like that they will listen, but I'm not sure they are getting the idea I can give a quiz any day.
In CW, we started going into point of view and the benefits and drawbacks of 1st and 3rd person POV. I showed them a video that depicted this well, then we had a nice discussion. I then had them write a 1st POV depicting a person who was sitting outside of their boss's or principal's office, and they were in trouble awaiting their fate. During class, I wrote with them. I love that I get to write with my students daily. Hopefully we can all grow together as writers.
