I just found out #BrownGirlDreaming is being challenged because of #CRT. Teachers and librarians, hip a sister to the challenges you're having, please.

Share what you know! All the time. #ncte#tcrwp@TeachersCollege
The Metaphor Award ESSAYS:
Ss choose metaphors to describe their peers, keep track of character traits (characterization!) and stories that show these traits (supporting details!)
Threw an introductory prepositional phrase grammar lesson in there. 👍🏽

I’m so excited to facilitate this Middle Level Meet Up this week with @MrsBonner301! Come join us on Thursday 7:00 PM EST for a chance to rest and reflect. It’s been a tough year.
Free for NCTE members!

Collaboration Calendar 🗓
I enjoy using big sticky note calendars for collaborative projects, like Greek Olympics! Ss see workdays, deliverables and update their completion status at the end of each class period. Groups see each other’s progress = MOTIVATION @ncte#engchat
Always one of my favorite challenging vocabulary activities! Students create themed restaurants using vocabulary words. This year I added Yelp reviews 🤣👌🏽 #creativewriting@ncte@TCTELA
The Center for Antiracist Education (CARE) @antiracist_ed is here to provide educators with the knowledge and materials needed to help achieve an antiracist future. NCTE is among the first orgs to endorse CARE's principles for an antiracist future. https://t.co/1E3DTisXw4
