Instead of limiting students to following a lock-step writing process where everyone moves at the same pace, encourage Ss to follow a process that works for them. This will increase independence and agency and provide a more authentic writing experience #LiteracyTipTuesday

One thing I've changed that has been helpful: use AND instead of BUT when giving feedback.

It's not, "You're doing this thing well BUT not this thing."

It's, "You're doing this thing well, AND here's your next step."

BUT negates what comes before it, while AND builds on it.

@ModestTeacher I have to disagree! Every @AVID4College Summer Institute I've been to has made me a better teacher by miles! Their immersive experience has, in some years, been life-changing!

One of my students took up origami at the start of COVID, & she still folds & creates throughout the day at school. I don't think she has any idea how much it makes me smile when she leaves one of her pieces behind for me after class. I'm building quite the collection!

[Michelle Nyquist @NyquistLHS]

Thank you for this idea @theVogelman !! I'm going to try the same thing this week! So excited to hear them brag on themselves! ❤️

Grading essays right now. I asked students to add a note after uploading their work: What are you most PROUD of in this piece? I must keep doing this! Such a positive way to start assessing work, even pieces that are pretty rough around the edges 😃

@JJWatt I know you like to help kids. Would you please share our Christmas Wish for our students? Our students do not have winter coats. They are all new and have not lived in cold climates and do not have the proper clothes. Thank you! https://t.co/tZE4sPRvwM

August 22, 1920: Science-fiction writer Ray Bradbury is born!

"We are an impossibility in an impossible universe."

"Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is 'love'. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for."
