@carl_young A3: Creating an environment that students feel safe in is something I firmly believe impacts the confidence your students have as writers and as individuals. #TComp
@carl_young A2: #KirbyCrovitz's belief that writing is a creative, social, & collaborative act resonated most. In today's society, writing is something that everybody has to do for their whole lives. Teaching writing with this belief in mind makes 'outside world' writing more applicable.
@carl_young A1: Teaching "inside out" allows students to tap into their internal worlds & write in a way that speaks to their own understanding of the world around them. "Outside in" allows educators to bring in references from the "outside world" that students can connect to. #TComp
I love Class Flow for teaching lessons in an interactive way! The immediate feedback makes it easy for me as a teacher, and the levels of interaction make it fun for students! #eci546
Staring at the words in front of me
A cup of tea to my left, multicolored tabs to my right
I type out quotes and page numbers that might matter
Multiple colors let me know why something's important
I annotate and highlight my way through studying
