Pairing+Traditional+and+Digital+Argument

Since I won't be able to be in Atlanta for this year's NCTE I made a digital version of my presentation. In the spirit of putting myself in my students' shoes, I chose to use a program that's new to me, GoAnimate. Creating the video took me a lot longer than I'd like to admit, but that was mostly due to the fact that I was having way too much fun selecting characters, poses, and settings. As always, it's a little nerve wracking to create a piece of work, and then share it publicly. But again, if I'm asking my students to do something, I need to be okay doing the same thing. I've shared my video and a file of supplemental materials, just in case you'd like to create something similar in your own classroom.
