Welcome to Ceci’s Community Classroom

Ceci’s Community Classroom is a learning space for students and lifelong learners, featuring lessons and conversations on writing, literacy, literature, education, history, culture, race, and related topics.

The Community Classroom includes complete free lessons, guided questions and reflection, current-event microlessons, and opportunities to continue the conversation. Paid subscribers can go deeper through the Literacies Lab, with extended case studies, activities, resources, and additional commentary.

Finding your way around

cecibell.net is your one-stop shop. If you ever lose track of a lesson, post, resource, or link, come back here and start again.

A note about the Substack app: The app is convenient for receiving notifications, reading new posts, commenting, and keeping up with the Community Classroom on the go. However, the app is organized primarily around your Substack feed and creator profile, so it may not show Ceci’s Community Classroom as the organized learning space you see on the web.

For the fullest Community Classroom experience, start at cecibell.net. From there, you can enter the Community Classroom on the Substack website, browse lessons and conversations together, revisit earlier material, and find your way back if you ever get lost.
