Counting Descent and Citizen Illegal will give my students the ​opportunity to not only dive into poetry but to explore literary responses to current issues. These poets are active on Twitter and are willing to Skype with students after reading their collections. These texts and personal connections will change the way these students think. This project is inspired by #TeachLivingPoets, a growing movement on social media that emphasizes the power of current, relevant, and personally, emotionally, and socially challenging poets. Providing students with texts by and access to poets who are advocating for change is not only fosters lessons in critical thinking but teaches students methods and avenues for advocacy. I want my students to know how to think and how to use their voice. This project provides the resources to teach and discuss these concepts. Engagement, real-world application, and complexity are at the heart of this unit. Thank you for making this possible for my students.
