Establishing student voice in and out of the classroom is an evergreen idea: we can think about it, talk about it, try different strategies to amplify it, and give students opportunity express it. With many digital tools out there and many students finding themselves in an environment where they are learning remotely or have access to technology in a 1:1 setting (Student:Chromebook, for example), we explore a few ideas I've attempted in the classroom to leverage some of these tools. 

We hear 9th and 12th grade students in real time working through these strategies, un-muting, and sharing the ideas, thinking, and finding a voice in the English classroom.
