Hip-hop Shakespeare Debate: Templates, Rubric, Research, Slides
I developed the Hip-hop Shakespeare Debate after thinking carefully about relevance for my students. This debate answers a question I struggled with for years: How can I get my students to authentically engage with Shakespeare's language and how language exposes cultural/societal norms? The Hip-hop Shakespeare debate not only addresses student relevance, it also engages students with the cognitively demanding, novel task of defending a hip-hop artist as "the Shakespeare of our time" with a defen

Based on the idea of 'reading cards', basically index cards with a notch at the upper left cut out that are

The Lottery Personal Liberties Trial/Debate
I use this activity as an introduction to Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery." Before I assign the story, I give students the scenario on this handout, which asks them to debate the idea of personal freedoms versus the common good. Students are divided into defense, prosecution, and jury. I don't reveal what the "tradition" in question is--we are instead debating the town's right to have a tradition that the members of the town believe are for the common good.
