Today is our first day of writing in our notebooks. I will begin with talking about my central goal for them as writers this year: moving them from victimhood to agency. I will use this figure from 180 Days.

Set aside 12 minutes today to read this outstanding piece by @LadyOfSardines. It is the best thing I have read about how to create the conditions for meaningful classroom conversations. Insightful and humble and provides a model that can be replicated.

Don't just learn, experience.
Don't just read, absorb.
Don't just hear, listen.
Don't just talk, act.
Don't just promise, prove.
Don't just think, ponder.
Don't just take, give.
Don’t just wish, do.
Don't just relate, advocate.
