Q6: As Jackie Woodson said through writing we can change the narrative of the world. As teachers we need to help our students understand empathy for a better future. #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #UNILitEd

[Miss Buchholz @buchhmab]

Q5: I think a challenge is to get all your students to understand what empathy is and able to empathize with others. I think doing lessons that include empathy throughout the year is important so students do not forget. #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #UNILitEd

Q4: When students empathize with others there writing changes. By writing with different perspectives, including diverse setting or characters, and talking about feelings. #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #UNILitEd

Q3: I am pre-service teacher so I have not done any assignments with empathy. I want to hear what other teachers have done in their classroom because empathy is very important in and outside the classroom. #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #UNILitEd

Q2: I think language arts can play a role in fostering empathy among students. For example, stepping into the character’s shoes from a book a student is reading. Also, picking books that spark empathy in students #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #UNILitEd

Q1: My concept of empathy is being able to sense what others are feeling. Empathize to me is trying to connect or understand another person. You may not know what it is like to be in their shoes but you try to understand. #NCTEchat #WhyIWrite #UNILitEd

A7: One thing I pledge to do in my classroom is to get every student passionate in a genre or author books. Having a love reading at an early age, I think is important for the rest of their lives. #UNILitEd #ILAchat

A6: Getting involved in literacy programs nationwide or worldwide. For example, one day I want to become a part of the Global Read Aloud program. #UNILitEd #ILAchat

[Miss Buchholz @buchhmab]

A5: The one that stuck with me is children have the right to choose what they read. No one likes to be forced to read something so why would new readers want to be forced. I try to suggest book that are in the student’s interest and at their reading level. #UNILitEd #ILAchat

[Miss Buchholz @buchhmab]

A4: Some students do not have at the best home environment so making the classroom a comfortable and safe place for students to read is beneficial. Also, having a wide range of book for them to choose from is important so students can make their own choices. #UNILitEd #ILAchat

[Miss Buchholz @buchhmab]

A3: I think everyone can be supportive in helping children read. I think there needs to be more reading programs that get students more in reading. Like with books that interest them or prizes to get them reading more. #UNILitEd #ILAchat

[Miss Buchholz @buchhmab]

A2: I think educators have the responsibility to show students different genres and multicultural literature. I think it is important to have an expansive personal library for your students to pick from. In my class I want my students learn to love reading. #UNILitEd #ILAchat

[Miss Buchholz @buchhmab]

A1: Students should be able to read different genres and books that they are interested. The atmosphere should be supportive for the students reading. #UNILitEd #ILAchat
