Back to my joy: writing
Earlier I mentioned that I prioritized writing the ONE time I did it well. That means there were tradeoffs. Well, what did I trade?
As you begin a new school year, you might ask your students this question I learned from @ernestmorrell: "What does it mean to get better at reading?" Maybe chart their responses.
