Forging Paths between Pop Culture, Current Events, and Secondary ELA

Description:
The goal of this presentation is to demonstrate how secondary English teachers can forge pathways between pop culture and current events within their existing ELA curriculum. This presentation will draw on three curricular examples. We will discuss the rationale behind constructing these examples, standards-aligned assessments from the examples, and lessons learn from implementing these examples.
