Please check out my video on a Young Adult Literature Project I did for ENG 414 if you've got some time! I'd really appreciate it :)

I just helped my overly stressed friend revise and finish her final paper for a class. I feel good. This is a feeling I can get used to as an English teacher. :)

My favorite thing about having to go online is that it brings out better communication from my professors! Online means that they have to be very literal about everything. Makes it easy for students who like DIRECT instruction #ENG350

PREACH! This will be on my syllabus (of course with credit given) when I being teaching and ya'll can cite me on that! #ENG350

oh boy I am a serious sucker for March Madness #ENG350

It's March and you know what that means—time to host a March Madness Poetry Tournament! Learn more on how to incorporate this in your classroom. https://t.co/GY3LawTbd4

I feel like getting my students to reflect on their own writings, rather than simply reading my feedback and moving on, is going to be harder than it sounds. Maybe having my students grade themselves before I grade their writing? Then have them compare the two grades? #ENG350

[Nicole K @nicole4teaching]

I can foresee being asked which rubric style we prefer; holistic, analytic, or single-point #ENG350 🤔 I think I like analytic better: 1) clearer picture for student and 2) teacher can easily explain/justify

I can't be the only person who had to complete "mandatory independent readings" (any book from the school library) and then I had to take a test on the book in order to prove I actually read it right? #ENG350

[Nicole K @nicole4teaching]

Okay, I also wish my old teachers would abide by the rule of "turn in your paper on the due date no matter what shape it was in" because A LOT of my classmates would've had better encouragement in class #ENG350

Here's the tea; I'm going to send my middle and high school English teachers Gallagher & Kittle because NONE of them understood the "Notebook Checklist" and that frustrates me greatly #ENG350

[Nicole K @nicole4teaching]

My goal for the future is to break the stereotype that simply because teachers teach a lesson, doesn't mean it's enough for my students. I want to encourage them to really take my lessons into their daily lives and use them in whatever way THEY want for their future #ENG350

"Placing a grade on a student's paper doesn't teach him to write with more clarity and vision; a grade does not teach" (Gallagher & Kittle, pg. 105) #ENG350
