With apologies to @JuneCasagrande, I'll 'put a stake in the ground' in defense of cliches. If you're writing for business readers, cliches can convey your point efficiently. #Writing#writingtips

We're introducing GradeOn: software that automates a writing instructor’s most frequent comments using customizable rubrics. It quantifies feedback and identifies where students need to improve. Available in the EduApp Center in Canvas. #writingcommunity@GradeOn1
I’m a guardian of the grammar guardrails that #DamonYoungVSB mentions; I’ve placed exit ramps around those grammar guardrails. If you can’t exit the highway of standard grammar, writing will feel like you’re eating crackers without water https://t.co/fPCDIruMiE
Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! We want to celebrate teachers using words their students use to describe them. Today’s word: dedicated. Teachers show dedication through passion & love for teaching & working to enhance learning & student outcomes. Tag a dedicated teacher! #TAW
I love that Lydia Davis gets inspiration for clear writing from the dictionary. Make sure you read far enough to get to that recommendation. @GradeOn1#writingtips#ela
New York Times has introduced "Mentor Texts" -- curated texts that show students examples of effective writing.

From @nytimes: Writing prompts that"address every stage of life, from coming-of-age and wrestling with one’s identity to understanding one’s role in a family; making friends; getting an education; falling in love; working; and experiencing old age"

I got a magical comment from a teacher in response to this sentence I wrote for an essay: "The theme of sin and redemption surfaces within the narrative." My teacher's comment: "Like a whale or something?" Thank you for making me a better writer. #TeacherAppreciationWeek
I put a grammar error in my Creative Writing assessment rubric and offered 5 extra credit points to the first student that found it!
I have never had so many kids read the rubric before starting an assignment. 😉
