@Joseph_Fasano_ I think of this one when death comes and I know that “I’m sorry” isn’t nearly enough…

So very true 👏

The fun isn’t extra. It’s not a waste of time. It’s a worthy investment so your time later isn’t wasted.

Discussions will be better.
Participation will be better.
Class culture will be better.
Because you laughed together.

Plan for fun next week.
And feel great about it. ❤️

[Allison Baisley @Ali_Bkind]

This creates and fosters great discussion in any classroom. Thanks for this!

About 15 years ago I created the article of the week because my students had a narrow understanding of the world. You have to know stuff to read stuff. I have posted the first AoW of this school year here: https://t.co/PlMI1dfmTR

What a great concept! “Write it, then Right it!” - thanks for this!

[Jeffery E. Frieden 🌱 @SurthrivEDU]

Moving away from a traditional mindset of teaching writing, I follow the @JasonReynolds83 school of "Write it, then right it"
👉 Students draft (WRITE IT)
👉 They peer review
👉 THEN a formal writing lesson
👉 Self-assess and plan for the next draft
👉 Then revise (RIGHT IT)

Poet Amanda Gorman, 22, followed in the footsteps of Robert Frost and Maya Angelou as she took the stage for Biden's inauguration.

"Somehow we do it," she said. "Somehow we weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished."
