How should text be shared with students? Do you know your readers well enough to know which type of support they need? I always love having the opportunity to listen to @KyleneBeers! @ForestLakeEagle @Bjackson_FLE @misshayward_usc @Davis_FLE @NanCLaFitte #HIDDENGEMS24

Katie Wood Ray (2002) "I often think that when I watch a really good teacher of writing, it's almost like there are life-size cardboard cutouts of authors around the room...With a room full of authors to help us, teaching writing doesn't have to be so lonely."

[Chrystal Barker @Chbarker1221]

What do good writers do? Study the work of other authors to help them make revisions to their own writing! #smallmoments #Come On, Rain @ForestLakeEagle @Bjackson_FLE @TWilliamsFLE @misshayward_usc @Davis_FLE
