NYC English teacher; teacher educator. I want all teachers to know of the Aesthetic Realism Teaching Method. Classrooms come alive & students really learn!

I loved reading "What Kind of Emotion?"—with an understanding of what makes for emotions we can be proud of, and a great looking at beautiful sentences from #EnglishLiterature: https://t.co/OBb6dByRb0

How much do we value the ordinary, the everyday? How much should we value it? #EliSiegel's wonderful writing about #Everydayness is great encouragement for us all: https://t.co/w3zSEwEOR8.

What do #books do for us that nothing else can do? I love what #EliSiegel explains in this Little Essay on “Books” from Children's Guide to Parents & Other Matters: https://t.co/VwpORsskEG #reading

Here's a thrilling, powerful issue with crucial understanding of the rift people have made between art & science, and a showing that they are essentially related: https://t.co/jltXShTKZ1 via @TheARFdn

It's hard to overstate how needed this feeling is: “Nothing is more important in #education than to be really happy about learning.” —#EliSiegel https://t.co/hSkVY4om6F

"Every time you read a #book, someone else’s feelings meet yours, and mix with yours....Books are the big way of bringing to a person the feelings he might never have otherwise." - #EliSiegel, in his essay for children on Books. Read it here: https://t.co/nFD7nWrljj

On the birthday of #HenryDavidThoreau, I'm glad to point to a talk by #poet and critic #EliSiegel, discussing Thoreau, James Russell Lowell, and everyone's question about being alone and being in relation to others: https://t.co/jN7hSWIHiG

#ENL teachers: read this report of an #AestheticRealism class on the big, poetic meaning of #idioms. Enjoy! https://t.co/o3wOLndrPL

Walt Whitman, born #OTD in 1819. "Whitman, because his desire to respect reality was so strong, welcomed the world in its untrammeled largeness, its infinite ability to include..." - Ellen Reiss in https://t.co/mkIaXrieQm

The study of #satire can have young people learn to express their criticism of injustice in a way that has them care more for the world, not less.

Born #OTD in 1770, #WilliamWordsworth. To know better who he was and how he saw, as self and as #poet, read: "Wordsworth—& the Fight in Everyone": https://t.co/0vU4FsgzUK #romanticism

For #ELA teachers, and everyone: “Thomas Comma,” a delightful and thought-provoking film. The author of the story on which it's based, Martha Baird, writes: “We’re all of us like commas, looking for the right sentence.” So true! https://t.co/SKnYiOBiHZ #punctuation
