Teach Writing With The New York Times: Our 2025-26 Curriculum – The New York Times

Writing Curriculum

Teach Writing With The New York Times: Our 2025-26 Curriculum

Our eight writing units are based on real-world features like reviews, opinion essays, narratives, podcasts, photo essays and more.

By The Learning Network, July 30, 2025

What can the news, features, essays, interviews, photos, videos, podcasts and graphics in The New York Times teach your students about composing for a real audience? So much, we hope, that the units we detail below are just a beginning.

Our writing curriculum is a road map for teachers as well as an invitation to students. For teachers, it organizes our offerings into eight units, each of which focuses on a different genre or type of composing that your students can find not just in The Times but also in all kinds of real-world sources.

For students, these units offer confirmation that they have something valuable to say, choices about how to say it and a global audience eager to listen. Promoting student voice has always been a pillar of our site, and through the opportunities for publication woven into each unit, we want to encourage students to go beyond simply consuming media to becoming creators themselves.

Though some of the units spotlight mediums like photography or podcasting, writing is at the heart of each one. All our units begin and end with written reflection and depend on writing throughout — to plan and organize, to outline and script, to summarize and process. Increasingly, Times journalists are composing in multimedia, weaving photos, illustrations, video and audio into their written reports. We’re inviting students to do the same.

Finally, though our offerings are aimed at middle school and high school students, we know that they are used up and down levels and across subjects — from elementary school to college. So have a look, and see if you can find a way to include any of these opportunities in your curriculum this year, whether to help students document their lives, tell stories, express opinions, investigate ideas, interview fascinating people or analyze culture. We can’t wait to hear what they have to say!

Our 2025-26 Student Contest Calendar. July 23, 2025

Our eight writing units, plus additional resources:

• Everyday Practice: Writing Prompts
• Documenting and Reflecting on Teenage Lives: Growing Up With A.I.
• The Tiny Memoir: Personal Narrative Writing
• The Photo Essay: Multimedia Storytelling
• The List: A Different Kind of Critical Review
• The Open Letter: Argumentative Writing
• The Podcast: Writing for Audio
• Independent Reading & Writing
• Want Mo

editor’s Note: I hope all schools and districts can access these materials. Probably worth a subscription to the NY Times, IMHO. 🙂

Module Writing as an Act of Imagination

#teachingwriting #teachingresources Back in 1991, I was working on my dissertation, A Phenomenological Critique of Protocol Analysis in Composing Process Research. For that project, I was reading a lot of phenomenology, including Edmund Husserl, Alfred Shutz, Don Ihde, and Paul Ricoeur. I meant to use those big guns to critique protocol analysis, a research method borrowed from cognitive psychology which involved having a subject…

Freewriting, Blobs, and an Update on AI

 Mastodon hashtags: #writingcommunity, #teachingwriting I knew I had written a blog post on AI, but I couldn’t find it here. Then I remembered that it had been posted to the ERWC blog as “What Should English Teachers Do about ChatGPT?'” That was in January 2023. At that time my recommended strategy was “Help students use the tool wisely and effectively.” That is still probably the best advice for now.

There are some really valid concerns here that are more well thought out than "Students are gonna plagiarize with this!" https://theconversation.com/how-chatgpt-robs-students-of-motivation-to-write-and-think-for-themselves-197875 #ChatGPT #TeachingWriting #TeachingThinking
