As a coda to last week’s episode about the harm AI is doing to boys’ learning in English classes, today Bags and Chris offer some discrete and specific examples of what actually happens in their English classrooms.
Bags talks about the analysis of the Denis Glover poem ‘The Magpies‘
Chris talks about how he works with his senior students to interrogate the ways deliberate use of a variety of sentence types support their writing of humour and satire. You can listen to a podcast that I made for that class that explains this in more detail, and there you can also find links to actual classroom resources – data show, handouts – in case you want to interrogate it further.
This was our last episode for the 2024 Southern Hemisphere academic year, see you in February.
