English teachers always seem to be pressed for time. Between lesson planning, grading papers, and doing “life” – there is an undercurrent of frantic stress that moves us through our days with a certain degree of inertia.
All too often, I hear from teachers wanting to enroll in my courses, but it always comes down to time.
There’s never enough of it.
And this is exactly why I built the Teach It “Write” Self-Paced Course.
Even though I run my Teach It “Write” 5-Week course several times throughout the calendar year, some teachers just feel as if they can’t free themselves up in spite of truly wanting to.
I get that … so I have ensured that the self-paced course will equip teachers with all the necessary tools to be a stellar writing instructor.
In a nutshell, here’s what you can expect from the course:
- Ten instructional video lessons that will demonstrate for you how to implement the three heuristics of the syllogistic method as well as the declarative and inverted thesis into your classroom practice
- Detailed instruction on how to build your student writers from the ground up while equipping them with the necessary tools of grammar, punctuation, and syntax in order to cultivate rhythm, flow, and voice
- Detailed instruction with plenty of exemplars and models on how to apply the templates to each of the expository modes (literary analysis, rhetorical analysis, synthesis, argument, persuasion, research)
- In-depth instruction teaching you my “Bob Ross” approach to implementing my unique and effective heuristics of the syllogistic method as well as the declarative and inverted thesis
For your continual support and development, you will have access to a Google Classroom rife with pre-made writing workshops, bell ringers, vocabulary and nuance exercise – everything you could possibly need to grow and flourish as a writing instructor. Just to give you a sense, for both AP Language and AP Literature, I have writing workshops for every FRQ dating back to 2015 to the present. And for on-level instructors, I have dozens of prepared synthesis, rhetorical analysis, literary analysis, argument, persuasion – even research paper writing workshops. And the kicker – I add content to the Classroom on a weekly basis – word study, nuance, voice, rhythm, flow, grammar, punctuation, syntax, gamified approaches, edutainment tricks of the trade – and so much more. I even take special requests. So, if you want something, and if I can get my head around what you’re trying to achieve – I am more than willing to help.
