I'm loving using Flipgrid to have students practice claim, evidence reasoning by talking about themselves! Their task: write a paragraph about how they are great! Kids who were stuck brainstormed with their peers about what made them special. #communitybuilding #sdawp #nwp

I've been thinking a lot about how to build a strong learning community with lots of communication from all my learners. I'm practicing a low stakes high engagement activity. Would you rather questions with sentence frames and breakout rooms. #sdawp #nwp @cwp @writingproject
