@BerkhimerKenedi @TimothyPShea #lbcinclusion @BerkhimerKenedi @TimothyPShea "The result is that 'certain children' are left farther and farther behind. The rich get richer and the poor get worksheets." Why do we put limits on learning based on SES? We need to challenge students despite misinformed assumptions.

@TeachThought Write Around - this provides the space for students to have a conversation and build off of the thoughts and ideas of others. @TimothyPShea #lbcinclusion

@KellyNHeishman @TimothyPShea Great insight!

@sevr0612 @TimothyPShea Attention Getters is a GREAT place to use media and technology!

@TimothyPShea R2: Reading can be implemented within the classroom through novels, picture books, poems, and more. These texts can help students to interact with the world around them. #ReadWriteTeach

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@TimothyPShea R4: Students interact with social media everyday. They read and write this way, so it is a tool we can use in our classroom to start the conversation of bias, and other literary features. We can also use this as a means for students to interact with content. #ReadWriteTeach

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@TimothyPShea R1: A math journal is a possible low-stakes writing tool in math. Here students can take notes and then respond to the content through writing. This allows for students to work with their content on a deeper level of thinking and to form their own opinions. #ReadWriteTeach

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@TimothyPShea R3: Media and technology are avenues of reading and writing. We can implement movie clips, songs, shows, online artwork, etc. within our classrooms to expose students to reading and writing that takes a different form. #ReadWriteTeach @TimothyPShea

@sevr0612 This is actually quite humorous

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@KellyNHeishman That is 100% a mood.

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@TimothyPShea A3:Music would be the hardest because it lacks the visual aspect. In math, these other pieces can be paused and drawn on to show the practical application of math. Although, there could be a quote from a song might lead us to a big question that could be an intro. #ReadWriteTeach

@TimothyPShea I have been thinking about how to implement film in the math classroom. I want to look deeper into this, but I think I would try to find scenes from films where I could connect math concepts. ie) perspective, angles, proportions #ReadWriteTeach

@KellyNHeishman Thanks for sharing! I like that this article led to many other articles to help us understand this idea of film in the classroom.

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@sevr0612 Thank you for sharing this article! It really helped me dig a little deeper into the benefits of film in the classroom.

[Kierstyn Martin @KierstynMartin]

@esBritish @kierandonaghy #ReadWriteTeach This article lays out clear logic behind implementing film in the classroom. Engagement, variety, and visuals are just some of the benefits of film. There are also suggestions for lesson plans and ESL students. @TimothyPShea

This article emphasizes how writing can transcend ELA and enter other disciplines of study.

@TeachingInHD #ReadWriteTeach
This article/study shows that there are benefits to handwriting instead of typing. Interesting to note as we think about writing in our classrooms versus the use of computers.

Friends! I am writing for the fabulous
@MovingWriters team! This month I wrote about "Becoming an Expert" in my science classroom. Hope you enjoy! https://t.co/saa7U5eiOn @swoctm1 @ohioctm @owpmu @JudsonTeacherEd @ncte @goMercerEagles

We need to ensure students are exposed to writing, drawing, & typing to ensure the appropriate circuits get wired in the brain and we are not limiting memory encoding with an over-emphasis on typing. #edtech

These four points are key to cultivating an environment where creative writing is encouraged and low stakes writing takes place. The author dives deeper into the four points to provide more on why they are important and how to implement them.
