A4: 1st homework: photograph of you in your "writing space." Hoping (encouraging) real writing space as well as those fantastical. #wbchat

[Erin Christine @blooming_minds_]

A3: Probably a mini-interview of classmate. Still working on this.

@SteinatDavis Thanks! Ss respond to the poem and what they think it means in relation to our classroom culture. Really sets a positive tone.

A2a: Lots of writing quotes written on clouds that I hang from the ceiling. Ss choose one to respond to in some writerly way.

[Erin Christine @blooming_minds_]

A2: I have a poem by Jeff Moss, "On the Other Side of the Door" on the door so that when it is open, the poem is easily read. #wbcchat

@gustavsonl Hoping to embed voice to QR code. At Back to School Night, parents can scan and listen to child's voice speaking about writing.

[Erin Christine @blooming_minds_]

@gustavsonl Not yet, but give me a week.

[Erin Christine @blooming_minds_]

A2: I've said this one before, but acknowledging writers' genius and growth thru a S nominated Writers in the Spotlight board. #wbcchat

[Erin Christine @blooming_minds_]

Getting right into Ss writing philosophies. Having them articulate this with an accompanying photograph in writing space. #wbcchat
