@_mariabarnett I remember reading that book! It was a great way to feel connected to the literature and have a better understanding of what was happening in that time period.

In this article, Sara Gregg discusses how to combine critics literacy with reader response and writer's workshop. I love this section about critical literacy and how it pushes students to see texts through their own eyes.

@Brown13Shavon This is why formative assessment and feedback are SO important! Students need feedback in order to know what must be improved on.

@CeciliaPerezKSU I completely agree that writing is a great way for students to express their understanding! It lets us as teachers truly see whether or not students are understanding a concept.

In this week's article, Fisher discusses how to check for student understanding. This is crucial for teachers to do because students need to have a deep enough understanding of the curriculum to where they are able to explain their thinking.

@tncatts I highlighted collaborative learning in my post as well! Great minds think alike, I guess! I think this is a crucial thing for students to learn given the amount of collaboration required in a typical workplace and in the real world.

Dr. Douglas Fisher discusses how to effectively incorporate the gradual release of responsibility model into teaching. My favorite part features collaborative learning where students learn to problem solve with their peers.

@branch_teach I love this idea! I think it shows that there can still be important information from older texts, but shows students that there are other materials that are more representative of their cultures. Writing letters like this would also be a great way to build classroom community.

@tncatts I loved your point about the importance of teachers knowing their students and the cultures they come from! I think simply being aware of each student's background can help teachers incorporate culturally relevant teaching into their classrooms.

In the article referenced below, Heather Coffey discusses culturally relevant teaching. We both seem to agree with how important it is to show respect to all students, but especially when teaching students from cultures different from our own.
