@MadelynDavid123 It’s important to include peer review to ensure students can revise their own work as well as understand how to give constructive feedback. These are things they will do outside of school in the workforce #396FlynnS23

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

@Caitlyn_Kirk_ There’s 100% a benefit to this. It allows students to hear multiple perspectives as well as giving them the opportunity to improve a few areas of their writing. This will also allow teachers to be able to dedicate more time to their personal revisions #396FlynnS23

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

Compared to the readings earlier in the week, these ones heavily focus on supporting the student emotionally. When as teachers do we know when students are ready for more critical feedback? Is this something we measure through their grades or improvement? #396FlynnS23

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

Students are actually able to gain better fluency through confidence. Therefore, once your student has more confidence with what they write then you can be slightly more critical and offer more advice #396FlynnS23

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

Teachers are meant to be human first. It can be debilitating to students when their writing isn’t seen or acknowledged. It’s important to have balance between critiquing as well as complimenting work #396FlynnS23

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

Providing peer feedback takes practice. This is why it’s important to setup a good example for the class by using your own writing and letting them revise it as a group. This should be done before they revise each others #396FlynnS23

@eer396 I would definitely want to prioritize collaborative writing as well as inquiry activities. I think when using both of these you’re allowing important discussions to take place as well as fostering community in the classroom.

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

@SNLun_official I feel the same way. I think a lot of this is going to come through discussion and a stance of inquiry thinking. Having students push back against grammar norms and understanding there isn’t anything better about mainstream English than any other language. I think HRL is key

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

#396FlynnS23 if we have proof that vocabulary isn’t effective in helping students grow, in addition to us being aware it’s typically Eurocentric, why do schools keep centering so much of their classroom spaces around it? How do we break through this?

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

#396FlynnS23 HRL takes a different approach to history and introduces different perspectives as well as learning practices. Being culturally responsive plays a huge role in the development of HRL.

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

#396FlynnS23 HRL helps acknowledge and value student identity, which ultimately allows them to do better in school. Students need to first feel supported before we can expect them to succeed and go above and beyond in class.

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

#396FlynnS23 I found it really interesting in WN how there wasn’t evidence proving that vocabulary instruction is impactful to students writing abilities. This surprised me because it’s such a heavy focus in schools and curriculum (p. 42)

@BenEverhart6 @BPowell__ Thanks for sharing Ben! He seems really joyful and comes up with some great TikToks to help students learn and stay engaged in class.

@BPowell__ https://t.co/zyy8hB4fKF I really like watching his TikToks because I think they’re funny and could eventually be relatable. Plus it’s clear students enjoy interacting with him!

Glow: I tend to always choose to work individually so I like how you pushed me today to work in groups and pairs #teacheredumatters

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

@Caitlyn_Kirk_ Me too! I feel like sometimes I read things and forget to analyze where information may be coming from or why the author chose to include certain parts in the text.

[Anna Sellers @annasellers201]

I saw today how even in Europe there is an anti-Blackness stance and complete ignorance towards the systemic oppression Black people are facing and have been facing in America. Therefore, I saw how racism is a global issue #teacheredumatters
