Students had a total of 6 hours in class to work on this paper. 1 hour to read, 1 hour to create 4 organizing sentences and share with the class, and 4 hours of independent writing/typing. Here are some of the strongest papers! For 10th and 11th grade students relatively new to both feminism and the English language, I am impressed! I hope to use these as examples of strong Regents essays for part 2 (the argumentative essay), as many students have expressed a desire to see models of strong papers as a way to improve their argumentative essay writing skills.

Last week, students performed their poems in front of an audience of 100 students and teachers! It went very well, and we recorded most of it. Unfortunately, due to some technical difficulties, I may not be able to post them all on here as I imagined. I may be able to eventually, but it will take some work to properly edit and enhance the mic quality, etc. So, in the meantime, I am posting their final poems in text form as well as the rubric to grade them on the written and performative aspects of this project. Enjoy! Our class does not meet this week, as it is Regents week. However, I wanted to share some student papers from our last unit on gender in the media. Below are some examples. Enjoy!
Today we started to present our final projects for our identity unit. The students impressed me. They made posters, drawings, movies, songs, and poems. We shared using the sharing circle protocol, which you can find in my previous post. I'm still working on gathering digital files of the projects to upload and student approval to post their projects on this site. Below I've posted what I've gathered so far.
