Why All My Rage SHOULD BE All The Rage in the ELA Classroom (Camp BNT '24) [S6 E212]

Listen to the full episode below:

Camp BNT is in full swing and it’s time for our YA pick: All My Rage, by Sabaa Tahir. This book is beautifully written and will be so incredibly easy for your students to connect with. At the same time, it covers some very challenging topics, so much so that one of us had difficulty getting through it.

Inside this episode, we’re sharing an overview of All My Rage, why we chose to highlight it this summer, what to know before reading, and examples of how you can use it with your students. We hope that it gives you the information you need to decide if it has a place in your classroom this year!

We would love to hear your thoughts after listening! If you decide to read All My Rage, share it with us! Send us a message or snap a photo of your favorite passages and tag us on Instagram. This will help us reach more teachers and continue the conversation.
