OH educator reports:"implemented writing strategies from your book. Gr. 5, test scores arrived -- the only ELA teacher whose scores show significant increase from last year. Her students nailed the writing part of the Ohio Air Test. THANK YOU for what you do." #FSTTW @OAESA

Developing a culture of conversation in the classroom provides essential “brain breaks” and increases learning. “These seemingly off task moments are truly on task because they provide a space for students to learn better. https://t.co/HExPj4YweY #fsttw @michaelsalinger

A6 Let's get over this idea that all of our students are future novelists or that fiction is the only way for us to express our creativity. Let's practice creativity by writing about content area learning. #G2Great #fsttw

A5 By focusing on writing elements, frameworks help every writer, striver to thriver -- the future computer engineer, doctor, welder, poet or novelist. #G2Great #fsttw

A5 We must all learn to speak for ourselves, no one else is going to take a job interview or ask for a raise for any one of us. Writing is not only a communication skill, it is a means to organize and prioritize thought so we can clearly express ourselves. #G2Great #fsttw

A4 Strivers benefit from discussing ideas before they write, particularly ELLs. We work to develop a culture of conversation throughout the writing process, sharing learning and building understanding. #G2Great #fsttw

A3 The leap from "first draft" to "final" is too big for https://t.co/p5fRaejSdF help them thrive, we add challenges like this: add a quote in Version 2, or add a fact with a citation in Version 3, or add a simile or sensory observation in the next version.#G2Great #fsttw

A2 We all know the benefits of a good outline and that outlines can take a variety of forms. Our frameworks hit hard on the development of a strong pre-write so writers know what they have to work with when they begin to craft their text. #G2Great #fsttw

A2 All writings are afterthoughts - hopefully. Writing frameworks engage students as they read, discuss, and write about content area learning while simultaneously practicing the elements of effective writing. #G2Great #fsttw

A1 All text types (genres) share common essential elements: visual language, sentence variety, figurative language, the ability to craft a story. We tell ss that we need to practice these elements like foul shots so that we can use them naturally in our writing. #G2Great #fsttw

Love the spirit and content of this video @colbysharp! Try this with kids, use the first couple paragraphs, up to “The warden owns the shade,” for a found poem. It’s a great way to sample any book for a book talk, but works brilliantly with Holes. #fsttw @ScholasticEd
