A thread: My client got out of 30 years of prison about 6 weeks ago. Since then, people have been telling him that forms he needs are on the web or that they would email something to him. A few days ago, he shyly admitted to me that he doesnt understand what any of that means.

i love this idea

@TeachingOlivia Hopefully we can narrow it down today :')

Teaching is an ever-evolving profession. What resources do you use to advance your professional learning?

rubrics are HARD #ENG350

@megandsantin Amen to that girl

“If students take risks and we grade every stumble, they will stop moving” (128)

my point exactly #ENG350

[Hannah Simon @hsimon0514]

G&K’s point about grading possibly impeding on writing improvement struck me because I know that, in secondary school, I was afraid to deviate from formulaic writing for fear of losing my precious ‘A’ student status. Not experimenting hurt me as a writer for sure #ENG350

“The advancement of reading comprehension skills and development of vocabulary are directly tied to the work readers do during independent reading.” —NCTE Reading volume is crucial for advancing readers! #literacygoals #onehartbeat https://t.co/1THFSEw14J

We had requirements but this assignment was largely choice based which I def think helps with my feelings about it so far. Had me thinkin #ENG350

[Hannah Simon @hsimon0514]

I’m currently working on an essay due tonight, and I am SO proud of my writing so far. This reminds me of the importance of students taking pride and ownership of their work and writing. #ENG350

The idea of introducing narrative writing at the beginning of the year is an idea that I never thought of, but I think that is such a good idea!! Narrative writing involves so many transferable skills to other genres and also really helps us build connections w students! #ENG350

[Tim J. Claudel @ClaudelTim]

Absolutely agree! It's impossible to be a good writer if you don't read a LOT. Reading is a powerful tool that teaches a lot - without you even noticing it! #ENG350

[Hannah Simon @hsimon0514]

poetry is also a genre many students are uncomfy reading or writing within, so all the more reason to implement it into a safe space, like our future classrooms! #ENG350

[Hannah Simon @hsimon0514]

i couldn’t agree more with G&K ‘s discussion of a poetry unit. i designed a poetry unit for my EDPS 390 class last semester, and creating it really opened my eyes to how interdisciplinary and multi-purpose the study of poetry is. #ENG350

#ENG350 “you learn to read by reading and you learn to write by reading” - Frank Smith

yes!! it is impossible to entirely separate the teaching of reading and writing when exceeding in one of them is so intrinsically linked to doing well in the other !

[Hannah Simon @hsimon0514]

I enjoy reading something that is going to expand my worldview or change the way I see a certain topic, something that is going to help make me a more empathetic member of society. #ENG350
