I have decided this will remain a work in progress.  Although most of the materials to be accessed during the APSIs this summer (2021) have been added, I am still working on the arrangement of the material as well as locating new and old material which may prove helpful for teachers this summer.  Both the Online and the In Person APSIs will have access to the material.  

Thank you for your patience as I locate materials I hope will be valuable to your teaching.   You might resist browsing too much on this particular site if you are in one of my APSIs this summer.  Mainly, to give me time to not only introduce the material, but to explain its use and revelence to your classes.  You are certainly welcome to browse the rest of the website — especially the poetry and short story section.
AS OF JUNE 17TH, I AM STILL REARRANGING AND ADDING MATERIALS.

APSIs for June and July 2021

Quotes from Jacqueline Stallworth:  “I see discussions on what we are going to teach and NOT much discussion on WHO we are going to teach.  Consider:  1.  Do the texts that are used reflect the diversity of our country and our school population?  2.  Do the students have any choice in the text that is selected for use in the class?  3.  Are you situating text into “Real Life?”

NOTE:  I will attempt to keep our synchronous work which may include small group and whole group discussions or work to 60-90 minutes and then either have a break and/or allow you to work asynchronously.

Let’s Write An Ode …..An ode is a lyrical poem that expresses praise, glorification, or tribute. It examines its subject from both an emotional and an intellectual perspective. Classic odes date back to ancient Greece, and they contain three sections: a strophe, an antistrophe, and an epode—effectively a beginning, middle, and end.   Most odes in contemporary poetry are irregular odes that take liberties with the form.
