Do you know what sucks? Grading crappy student writing. There. I said it. 

But I’m guessing you didn’t need me to tell you that. 

You’ve probably been there, and I have too. I know the emotional roller coaster and tremendous time suck that accompanies scoring this kind of writing.  

Fortunately, this week's episode is all about what we can do to combat this elephant in the room. Let's dig in together!

It is very possible that today’s podcast episode will completely contradict a major component of the way you teach literary analysis.

In the episode, we reveal our third game-changing strategy for teaching evidence-based writing, and we’re asking you to take a breath, suspend judgement for a moment, and allow us to walk you through exactly why we believe in this strategy, even though it goes against the grain.
