Part 2 of 3. See Part 1 here.This is a powerful way to model adult writing for students: screencasting my own mock exam reading of a poem - while talking through my thoughts as I read it - and then composing my own essay about that poem, talking through my writer s choices as I write the essay - all of which the students can watch and hear as it happens. It s as close to being inside the mind and eyes of a reading and writing adult as a student will ever get. In three parts, I read, plan, and write the essay from start to finish, under the same timed conditions as students in AP Literature timed exams.
