Culturally inclusive texts can make it easier for elementary school teachers to discuss difficult topics with their young learners.

@OliviaDope757 I was thinking the same thing. I love to write but don't anymore.

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

A8. I actually really enjoy writing and I wonder what it would take to be more dedicated to it. How can I be more connected to writing so I can then transfer it to my students? #UVAWAC

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

@PtOptionEnglish Aww thanks 😄

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

I have only written with others in classes #thanksUVA its not my favorite, typically I feel like I'm the weak link. Google docs make it easier though. My students haven't done much writing together, but we do shared writing in class. #uvawac

A5. Im a paper pencil kind of girl. I don't start typing until I'm really ready. I also prefer sources as actual books...much harder now though. My 1st graders don't use much, but my 4th graders used internet research engines and computers to type final drafts #UVAWAC

@monicamspry @IsabelBSawyer Question 6? Did I miss 2 of them... #UVAWAC

@grok_river I always write my intro last too.

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

A3. My big struggle is always the intro. I want it to be engaging and thought provoking and hooking and all, takes forever and typically comes out mediocre. My reluctant writers have the hardest time just starting so I think we share that. #uvawac

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

A4. Definitely. When writing something formal that requires research I spend a lot of time dumping out my thoughts to formulate a thesis. Not as much when informally writing. #UVAWAC

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

@Csteigle23 Mine too, I'm focusing my project on how to get them to add more details.

[Jaren Faith Maynard @Miss_JayFaith]

A2: As a writer the most helpful things would be ample resources and clear objectives... oddly enough pressure also helps me to write 🤷🏾‍♀️ #procrastinator #UVAWAC
