Throughout those initial unsteady months (years?) of the pandemic, there remained one constant source of comfort and solace and provocation for me: texts. Novels and essays and graphic novels and podcasts and movies and television series and individual television episodes and multimodal texts and music and concert films. All afforded me a much-needed reminder of kindness and compassion in some very bleak and uncertain times. Some were shared with students in traditional, and online, classrooms as emergent texts; some were experienced together with fellow ELA colleagues in online communities; some were read and viewed by me in isolation. Join me for a discussion of dozens of texts that helped me (and colleagues and students) negotiate a pandemic. And why emergent texts may be more important than ever in our classrooms.
