Much like yourself, I can't seem to ever shut down the gears of my teacher brain.
So there I am, in a theater watching the new Barbie movie, and Gloria's poignant monologue has me cooing ...
"LESSON PLAN!!!"
In today's writing workshop video, I walk teachers and students through the process of constructing a rhetorical analysis of this speech while pulling the strings of my heuristic (commonly referred to as a template).
Per usual, I "Bob Ross" my instruction and "paint" several intros, bodies, and conclusion paragraphs in an effort to demystify the process.
This is a timely assignment that is right in the center of many students' wheelhouse.
In the video description, you'll find links to download the writing workshop slides as well as the text of Gloria's monologue for your classroom use.

As we turn the calendar page to August, I am all sorts of fired up for the new school year and will be very active making new and engaging content.
Happy teaching and happy writing!
