@MovingWriters @RebekahODell1 I think so much of our most important work in ELA today is reframing -- helping students understand what we're *really* doing here and how it's relevant today and beyond. Love this approach!

Anybody who is complacent about book bans, & censorship like, “oh it’s okay the kids can get them somewhere else it’s fine”, truly do not comprehend the extent to which democracy is presently under attack. Just because it does not affect you, does not mean that there is no effect
When kids read, they have the chance to discover the world beyond them; when they write, they have the chance to discover the world within them. They need the opportunity to do both.
I love how musicians warm up with scales before practice. My kid is so mindful when she does this. She really really listens to each note. Writers need something like this. And I don't think it's journaling. We need something more repetitive, instinctual, in/of the body.

Incorporating the wonderful work of @StoryCorps into upcoming lessons. Each time I visit the site, I'm engaged and inspired. Thankful for this important work and the opportunity to listen and learn.
Call this sacrilege but i believe in ruined books. Books are meant to be shared. Books should be dog earred and pages turned not put on a shelf forever like a precious bauble. My greatest joy has been to sign a book that is spine bent, nearly falling apart, from so much love.
