@iTEACHAmy @gibson3456 Thank you for facilitating this for us!

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

@Iteach1stMGood @iTEACHAmy I agree! 100%

#roosread A4: I don't know if I have enough room to list the reasons. Most important reason is that I have used the units of study since the k-2 version. This book cleared up everything I had questions about & now I will teach more effectively.

#roosread #whywisd Could not have said it better!

[Marsha @Seguinlibrary1]

@iTEACHAmy A4: Read the book!! It puts it all together!! You will be able to start Unit 1 with clarification and understanding by reading the book! #roosread

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread We need a book study on this next.

[Amy Hall @iTEACHAmy]

A2: I think teachers will feel more comfortable with the idea after working through a couple of units and getting a feel for how the units tend to go! I also think the "If...then..." book is extremely supportive and helpful! #roosread

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread A3: I will be able to plan in ways that will make my students better writers by giving them exactly what they need. #whywisd

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread A2: It actually makes me really nervous, but once I get to know where my Ss are I will be able to meet them there and take them where they need to go! #whywisd

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread A1: I am going to keep the format predictable with lots of repetition and practice! #whywisd

#roosread @iTEACHAmy A5: My biggest take away was how during the teaching part we are not giving an assignment, but something they can do repeatedly from now on.

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread @iTEACHAmy
A4: I am going to spend more time reading my Ss writing & look for evidence of students using what they have learned & are applying to their writing. This has always been one of the most difficult things for me. I want to see if what they say & do are alike

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread. @Iteachamy I love that you pulled the Writing Strategies Book into the mix! What a great conference tool! https://t.co/aZzetQtSqK

[Marsha @Seguinlibrary1]

@iTEACHAmy A3: I will do a little more research with their writing first! And continue to use The Writing Strategies Book to teach and coach to individual students as needed. #roosread

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread A3: @iTEACHAmy my biggest aha was not focusing on content, but what the student is doing to become a better writer. So powerful!

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread @iTEACHAmy A2: The format is direct, meaningful, short, gives coaching opportunities, and allow a time for students to apply what they learn! Its predictable sequence creates the optimum learning environment for students.

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread @iTEACHAmy
A1: I have used this in the past, but never took time to read this book. So many little important things I missed that would have made my life easier and the Ss writing experience so much better!

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread A5: Pairing up the Ss for the entire Unit. So simple, yet so powerful!

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread The connection is useful to engage the Ss background knowledge.Teaching is the modeling active part is great for incorporating interactive writing and partner talk, the link is important for pointing out the way the Ss are using what they learned and clear up any As.

[Ashley Palmatier @ashleypalmatier]

#roosread We had a celebration and invited people into our classroom. The kids were so excited to have a live audience. https://t.co/RnuR45g9jh

[Amy Hall @iTEACHAmy]

Q3: @ShawnaFord1 How could you celebrate students' writing and share with others outside your classroom next year? #roosread
