This is when the lights went on as far as arguments go. Practicing with partners helped my students understand ethos, logos and pathos. Also, they finally were able to firmly take a side and articulate a point of view with evidence. Keep in touch and let me know how your students do! Good luck! Debbie

This is my 23rd year teaching. My husband (also an AP English teacher) and I launched our first son into college this summer. I teach AP English Language and newspaper journalism. Each instructional experience has helped me grow as a teacher- US Peace Corps; Togo (West Africa), inner city Miami, suburban Seattle, ESL in Korea, international school in Colombia, school of choice Miami, Florida Virtual School and now, suburban Atlanta. I love to read and write with my students. I am currently fascinated by the Flipped Classroom movement. Follow me on Twitter @dlaughey Friends have asked, "Why all the TED Talks?" First, I love them and have been an avid TED Talks podcast subscriber for several years. Making viewing guides gives me an opportunity to re-watch some of my favorites and write curriculum to support some of the most inspiring and interesting web-based presentations in the modern world. I think about which ones I would use in the classroom, what my teaching colleagues would use or what I would like my students and my own children to view in their classrooms. Send me your viewing guide suggestions!
