Here’s a useful tip to help students improve their writing. ✍️ 🤩

Ask them to read their work aloud. While it may not feel as natural—or modest—as reading silently, it can help them catch often-overlooked errors, a 2022 study found.

There’s some great advice in this thread!

@chschemcrazy Sausage Fest is great! Doug used to teach at STA.

[Jennifer Sherbak @SherbakEnglish]

@chschemcrazy I’m struggling, too. I’m so sorry.

@heymrsbond I have MS, so my heat sensitivity is very bad. This time of year is hard.

This is good information to consider as I plan for English 9 Honors for next year.

As is often the case, the most challenging literary analysis skill for AP English Literature students was skill 3, explaining the function of structure within a text; just 4% of students earned all available points for this skill.

@gbosslet @BossletMD @mybirdbuddy I love bird watching. Now you need to download the @Team_eBird app for some citizen science. 😀

This! And I already assigned summer homework on the Flipgrid website. It’s too late to change for this year, and I have no idea what I’m going to do going forward.

I understand the need to discontinue apps but I sometimes feel like companies don’t get how disruptive it is when a core group (like educators) love an app and then it’s gone. I felt that way about Jamboard and feel that about Flip right now.

...And it seems that I can see
The gleaming candlelight, still burning bright
Through the sycamores for me.

I truly believe that deep conceptual conversations are worth it in English classes, and visual art can be another tool to help students take time for analysis.

I’m so excited that my article “Integrating Art and Literature on the Secondary English Classroom” was published in the May issue of the journal Teaching for High Potential!

[Jennifer Sherbak @SherbakEnglish]

Art integration is a passion of mine. I also minored in music in college, and I’ve often thought about how music & literature connect. After I started coaching the Fine Arts Academic Super Bowl Team at my school, I also thought about how visual art & literature connect.

@Prof_Flowers I would love to see tenure track COE professorships prioritize K-12 teaching experience for their candidates. Professors should have classroom experience. Universities should value it.

@MoniseLSeward Yes!
