American Idol Language Arts
This session is an example of how to use Pop Culture to draw students to your side as together you explore reading and writing using a popular television program as a reference point.

Join Dottie Hall and me (Kaye Price-Hawkins) Sunday at 8:30 to see how this works and what other connections we can make.
