While still early in its development, SubSticks have significant pedagogical potential. In spring 2025, I am using SubSticks to foster different sets of skills to produce distinct deliverables in the process.
Example #1
Student research aide is producing "source packs." Using a shared Google Drive folder, we have a common SubStick topic each week. Each source pack consists of a Google slide deck organized around the three elements of a SubStick. If our first shared SubStick is Emma Tenayuca, the research aide and I will identify images, texts, and sources (and citations for each) relating to Tenayuca, and after a week we will compare notes. I will gain an extra set of eyes from my more tech savvy research aide, and she will gain experience of reflexivity and organization of exploring and getting lost in an archive (in this case the interwebs) and asking questions about access, reliability, and larger narratives.
Example #2
Students in my Chicana/o/x literature class will produce substicks for their final project and write a brief reflective essay to foster a metacognition about their rhetorical and project design choices. You can find the assignment description below.
