my students think it’s so silly that anyone would make memes about literature, so i continue to make them for their enjoyment. this O Captain! My Captain! one actually got the approval of some

to intro Dickinson and her work Because I could not stop for Death, my students made Death Personification Boards, where they used pictures and bullet points to describe how they view death as a person/experience! this was my example for them 😊

A profound and fearless advocate for women, equality, and justice, Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s impact will undoubtedly be felt for generations. My thoughts are with her family, colleagues, and all who were inspired by her lifetime of service.

To my white educators: Today, you’re posting about social justice, buying antiracist books, following brown folks, and temp changing your profile pictures. (thread)

Here’s what I need you to do tomorrow:

Students probably wont remember what was taught specifically during this pandemic, but they will remember how their teachers cared for them and checked on them. Much like how I still remember my teachers from decades ago.

On #WorldKindnessDay I would encourage all #TEACHers to 1) embrace #MrRogers message of #kindness toward your #Students and #community, 2) wear a cardigan on #CardiganDay & 3) take time to read #TheGoodNeighbor by Maxwell King.

[Kaitlin Gionta @missgionta]

planning a lesson on characterization for a sixth grade class and came up with the idea to have students "ask Alexa" to characterize them using three songs. Hope they think this is as fun as I do and helps them better understand characterization! #gccedu

[Dr. Connie Nichols @CNicholsEduc]

@missgionta @missgionta you nailed it! It"s so clear that you have so much to offer to your field, and it's awesome to see how much you have learned from so many wonderful mentors!

so excited to be presenting on a literacy share this week in @CNicholsEduc ‘s class! love finding ways to incorporate new literacies into learning! #gccedu

@SFecich a twitter page from the perspective of a literary character! a tweet to summarize the events in a chapter offers students a familiar way to recall the events of the novel and better understand their character!
