@ELA_Education Lack of camaraderie and interaction among students and teachers. There is no real or lasting bond.

I love this insightful analogy! Carol Jago has nailed it. Writing is also where 'critical thinking' and 'creativity' live. We need to empower our students to unleash the beasts; they will find their voices and come to a deeper appreciation for the power of language.

In the same way that drawing helps students to see, writing helps them to read.

@AaronHLevy @GAFilmAcademy @Suehyla @alliancetheatre @WritingWhs @GCTEnglish @r_monty @ksu_ened @jlee885 Wow! Can’t wait to hear all the great things these teachers will do to ‘unleash the beast’ of creativity for students! Three cheers! 👏👏👏

@southernmainewp @T_HEB Writing has the power to unleash the beast of creativity; it is the epicenter of critical thinking. Never let students underestimate the "power of the pen"!

@GaDOEELA @georgiadeptofed You go, girls! Looks exciting!

@pegillihan The joy of teaching, for me, has always been the students first and then the family of fellow educators and administrators, like you, who were so supportive of teachers like me - Ahhh! Those were the halcyon days! I miss you, but I still hear the heartbeat....😁

[Carolyn Waters @cwatersELA]

Loved this quote from Kylene Beers (from a Penny Kittle Tweet). We teachers must show our students our own passion for reading and the power of the written word! Words possess the magic power! It's all about passing the torch with the passion of an Olympic torch-bearer...

[Carolyn Waters @cwatersELA]

@pegillihan Miss you, too! I do miss all my Cobb County connections....

[Carolyn Waters @cwatersELA]

@LeahGumataotao Thank you for the warm affirmation!

GCTE Conference 2019 has ended with a bang, not a whimper.... “The Future Is Now” session featured undergraduate and master’s level preservice teachers whose ideas set my hair on fire! 🔥 Our teaching profession will thrive and survive! Great Conference! See you next year!

Students can actually have fun while writing? Imagine THAT! Writing is where critical thinking lives... it's the beast... just waiting to be fed.
