With Honors
Podcast Description
With Honors is a podcast about the lessons that stay with us long after the final bell. Hosted by an Honors and AP English teacher, this show features candid conversations with my current and former students, student teachers, and sometimes co-workers about the ideas, stories, and experiences that have shaped our learning. From deep dives into literature and philosophy to reflections on projects, discussions, and moments that mattered, With Honors is a space for revisiting the conversations that define our classroom—and, maybe, our lives. jcrock.substack.com

Ever fall in love with a book, get excited to see they’re making a movie out of it, and then get offended because they changed a character, or deleted a major detail, or added irrelevant material instead? No motion picture is ever going to live up to the hype you’ve generated in your own mind for a book you’ve spent weeks, months, or years with. But this week, three of the AP Lit girls walk us through their reactions to the adaptations for The Hunger Games trilogy, The Glass Castle, and the most recent version of Dune.
