I generally have a few lessons in which I can use Pixar shorts to teach students how to identify and discuss literary signposts, how to identify and explain the development of theme, character traits, and other narrative elements.

Renegotiating after accepting an offer? My current employer has updated their offer to retain me well above the offer I accepted at my new employer.
