Juicy Lesson! The Monologue Project
Banish the old-school essay! Forget that multiple-choice exam! This summative assessment is at once more exciting, more immersive, more authentic, and more rigorous than traditional end-of-unit tests and projects. As long as your literature unit has focused on student ownership of the language, this is a suitable, and pliable, final project. Find out how and why this project works with any text, every student. Maryam Trowell, Manager of Student and Teacher Programs at the Folger, walks you through this Folger Teaching resource.
Take a deep dive into the most effective method for teaching and learning any complex text.
Meet the artists behind visionary productions.
