Instead of reading and writing about this person, they BECAME this person which internalizes the information. Used padlet. I am opening another window to look this up. I like it. The other thing I like is that this man has them using laptops, NOT THEIR PHONES!!!!!!!!! I like that!

Hello Ryan, I love your lesson. My question is about length of the monologue. In assessing students, did you set a minimum and maximum time limit for the monologue? If so what parameters did you set? I can see many students not having a long enough monologue and others speaking for 20 minutes.

Hey Everyone! I'm a bit late with responding to your comments; I just saw them now. I'm actually teaching this unit right now and am tweaking some things as I go. I will share my resources with you as soon as I make those changes. Thank you for your kind words.

I'm curious about Maria Tavares' questions. I have the same questions. Does Ryan respond?
