178. UNIT MAKEOVER: RHETORICAL ANALYSIS
We’re excited to share another installment of our unit makeover series. This time we’re delving into teaching rhetoric analysis in the classroom. We’ve noticed a pattern in the feedback we receive from you, our listeners, and we’ve decided to structure this episode as a mini-professional development session for teaching rhetoric.
You’ll hear our two main approaches to teaching rhetoric: a focus on text or a focus on skills. A text-centered approach involves using a central text and supplementing it with other texts to teach the skills of rhetorical analysis. On the other hand, a skills-centered approach involves teaching students how to deconstruct arguments and analyze rhetoric without a specific central text.
We share plenty of examples for both approaches, which we hope will give you lots of ideas to take back to your students! Is this topic something that you would like to see a live training or workshop on? Let us know by sending us a message on Instagram @bravenewteaching!

177. THE ULTIMATE TEACHER-GROWTH PROGRAM: MODERN CLASSROOMS PROJECT
Teaching and learning is not a one-size-fits-all, which is why we need to redesign our classrooms in order to meet the needs of all our students. Today’s guest will give you a dose of inspiration to help you thrive in today’s teaching climate.
Kareem Farah, co-founder of the Modern Classrooms Project, is a former teacher who recognized the need for a teaching model that meets the diverse needs of his students. Fueled by his desire to make a difference, Kareem and others developed an instructional approach that is now being scaled across the country…the blended self-paced mastery-based learning model.
You’ll hear Kareem talk about this learning model, how we can reengage our students, prioritizing small group and one-to-one settings, picking your battles as a teacher, opting into innovation, and more. We hope this episode empowers you to embrace new teaching methods of explore the possibilities of the modern classroom.

Customer Reviews
So many ideas to use!
These ladies supply so many ideas that are accessible to teachers immediately. That saves time but I also know they will work! Camp BNT has been an awesome experience to explore curated authors I’d never have found, like Jo Chrona, who talked about starting local when exposing kids to Indigenous writers. It’s so simple and so wise and could be applied to LOTS of people of all walks of life in our kids’ environments! Have been a fan from the start and will continue spreading the word over and over to any educator I know.
Best ELA podcast I’ve found
A few weeks ago I saw this podcast mentioned in a Facebook group for AP Literature and Composition teachers. I started listening, and I was shocked that I had missed all this fantastic contact for this many years. I’ve listened to at least two episodes a day for the past two weeks, and I’m working hard on redoing some of my units. I’ve felt more invigorated and inspired from this podcast than I have from almost any other PD I’ve done. Try it out!
Never Stop Learning
I have listened to the BNT podcast since it began in 2020 and they have made me a better teacher. I wish they had been around when I first started teaching 10 years ago. I get so many great ideas from their podcasts and festivals. I love the Camp BNT where they interview authors and help debrief how to use these texts in your classroom ASAP. I would never have thought to use a whole class text like Yamile Saied Mendez’s Furia for a research paper but now it seems so obvious. I love hearing about these new authors and thinking about how to use the required canon with these new texts where the authors seem more real as you can hear them on a podcast. You can spiral the skills discusses into this podcast to fit your individual classroom and I can’t wait to see what comes next!
