Hi @finleyt! Your #brainblasts inspired some members of our English class to make one on the process of Lit Circles! Would love feedback. Do you think #LitCircles help students fulfill their school’s mission? #APLit #APlang #ProjectBasedLearning @TCEA
The struggle is real. Even the students who are not passing think school is optional at this point and hope everything turns out in their favor. I keep saying: hope is not a strategy!!
