Missed the live call last night? We did a deep dive of the 1-3 amendments from the Bill of Rights. Here is the replay video from the call. Let me know what was your biggest take away from our session. I can't wait to see you'll in the next Q & A session on Saturday at 5pm (EST). Thank you. Professor Stevie Coard

This instructional guide podcast outlines strategies for middle school educators to help students identify and analyze an author’s intent within various texts. It highlights the importance of distinguishing between primary and secondary motivations for writing, such as the desire to educate, amuse, or convince an audience. Learners are encouraged to link these objectives to the author's personal viewpoint to help students recognize the difference between objective reporting and subjective bias. By evaluating specific language choices and missing information, students learn to determine if a writer successfully achieved their goals. Ultimately, these tools empower readers to move beyond basic comprehension toward a critical evaluation of style and perspective.

In this mini conversational writing workshop, we will help you turn your ideas from sounding like a corporate robot to more human sounding. We will explore how to turn your writing into more human conversational when constructing any text. Tell me in the comments tell me how you will use these techniques to improve your writing going forward? The mindset shift starts now! Stevie!
