Quentin Crisp on Becoming a Writer

“There are three reasons for becoming a writer. The first is that you need the money; the second that you have something to say that you think the world should know; and the third is that you can’t think what to do with the long winter evenings.”

Quentin Crisp

A Short Analysis and Argument Worksheet on Basketball Great Steph Curry

It’s a remote professional development day here in my district. As I sit here waiting to join an online meeting, I have a minute to post this short analysis and argumentation worksheet on Steph Curry. My colleague Jason Zanitsch and I put this together a couple of weeks ago. Don’t let this document’s brevity mislead you: it packs a punch in terms of the thought it requires from the students to whom it is assigned. That credit goes to Jason.

If you find typos in this document, I would appreciate a notification. And, as always, if you find this material useful in your practice, I would be grateful to hear what you think of it. I seek your peer review.
