  • 212. WHY ALL MY RAGE SHOULD BE ALL THE RAGE IN THE ELA CLASSROOM (BNT '24)
    Jul 18 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Camp BNT is in full swing and it’s time for our YA pick: All My Rage, by Sabaa Tahir. This book is beautifully written and will be so incredibly easy for your students to connect with. At the same time, it covers some very challenging topics, so much so that one of us had difficulty getting through it.

    Inside this episode, we’re sharing an overview of All My Rage, why we chose to highlight it this summer, what to know before reading, and examples of how you can use it with your students. We hope that it gives you the information you need to decide if it has a place in your classroom this year!

    We would love to hear your thoughts after listening! If you decide to read All My Rage, share it with us! Send us a message or snap a photo of your favorite passages and tag us on Instagram. This will help us reach more teachers and continue the conversation.

    Don’t forget to sign up for Camp BNT (free!) so you can learn and grow alongside us!

  • 211. WHY GRAPHIC NOVELS DESERVE MORE LOVE (CAMP BNT '24)
    Jul 11 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Last week we talked about our first book choice of Camp BNT, Liz Kleinrock’s Start Here, Start Now. We’re going in a different direction today as we dive into graphic texts. Specifically, we’re looking at Stamped from the Beginning: A Graphic History of Racist Ideas in America, by Ibram X. Kendi, adapted and illustrated by Joel Christian Gill.

    Graphic novels are something that we haven’t fit into our curriculum as much as we’d like and we hope to change that moving forward. This type of text has the ability to convey complex historical ideas and emotions and facilitate deeper learning and empathy. Plus, the accessibility of visuals within graphic texts is so helpful for students who are visually inclined, and also helps others stretch boundaries of understanding visual text. It’s a win-win for everyone!

    We hope today’s book recommendation is helpful! Be sure to join Camp BNT (free!), download the summer bucket list, and join us on social media as you’re checking things off your list.

  • 210. START HERE, START NOW: ABAR BEST PRACTICES FOR ENGLISH TEACHERS (CAMP BNT '24)
    Jul 4 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    Have you signed up for Camp BNT yet? Last week we talked through what camp will look like this summer and we hope you’ll join us! We’re diving into the first book on our list, Start Here, Start Now: A Guide to Antibias and Antiracist Work in Your School Community, by Liz Kleinrock.

    In this conversation, we’re highlighting two specific parts of the book that can be incorporated into your teaching practice and your planning process for the upcoming school year. Start Here, Start Now will help you take the steps toward cultivating an antiracist and antibias classroom, and prepare you for the tough discussions that this work entails.

    If you haven’t already purchased this book, we highly recommend doing so (or even asking your school to get it for you!). It would be a great book to read with your team. There’s no time like the present to start having difficult conversations!

  • 209. WELCOME TO CAMP BNT 2024: YOUR SUMMER TEACHER BUCKET LIST
    Jun 27 2024

    Send us a Text Message.

    It’s officially summer and that means Camp BNT is kicking off! We’re back for round two of Camp BNT and we’ve made some adjustments since last year that we’re excited to share with you.

    Last summer, we interviewed several incredible authors. You can catch up on those interviews and 2023 Camp BNT content inside episodes 152-166. Today, we’re beginning to think about our summer bucket lists and are encouraging you to do the same. Plus, you’ll get a glimpse at what’s lined up on our summer book stack from a YA novel to a PD book and more.

    We can’t wait for you to join us in Camp BNT this year! You can sign up for Camp BNT and get the free resources here. We’d love to know what you’re up to this summer! You can share your adventures with us on Instagram or in a written review for this podcast.
