I'm an English Instructor at Las Positas College and Diablo Valley College, and a student myself again this year as a Stanford Global Studies Epic fellow. This semester, my English students are creating amazing Weebly websites highlighting their college level reading and writing. On their home pages, you will be able to see background information about each student and their experience in the course. Please take the time to also click through their pages. One page shows off their personal narrative writing as they share their "This I Believe" essays and the model essays that inspired them. Another page highlights their work this semester "getting woke." Watch their startling Prezis created to inform their peers of dystopian happenings in our world that appear way too similar to events in Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. Then read their analytical essays connecting the novel to the real world in 2017 and see why you should "stay woke." After that, click through their They Say / I Say page to see their curated reading lists on a current controversial topic of their choice and read their culminating essays as they join important real world conversations. Finally, see their reflections of their experience as a college student, reader, and writer this semester - and get a sneak peak into their plans for the future. I hope you enjoy their sites!
