Greetings from my second day of the Coronavirus Shutdown. For each of the four campuses I work, I’ve been asked to provide online instruction. I may not be in the Classroom, but I’m with my students in Spirit. Today, I offer several of my classes a Quote Sandwich. We will learn how to effectively integrate our best quotations into our essays. The quote sandwich will provide important depth and understanding for our readers. I try to map out each assignment with a series of graphs and charts.

Below I practice with my Film History Research Project. I’m writing about Bonnie and Clyde. I found Bonnie’s last poem in a book titled, Go Down Together. I found Bonnie (Faye Dunaway) reading her poem to Clyde ( Warren Beatty) in the films “love letter” scene.  My hope is my students will react to both my writing and the film. Now, it’s my students' turn.
