Why you should teach a book, movie, music, or video game review unit
Your students don’t need another 5-paragraph essay. They’re burned out on formulaic writing and complain the second you mention a thesis or evidence. But you’re burned out, too: tired of teaching kids who “hate” writing and grading the same-old stack of uninspired essays. You’re craving something–anything–that will mix things up, engage your students, and show them that writing doesn’t have to suck. You’d love to make writing feel refreshing, creative, and fun, but you’ve got standards to teach and testing on the horizon, too.
