The only way students will ever become strong readers is by reading — a lot!

In this moment, the very soul of America is at stake.

We must commit, as a nation, to pursue justice with every ounce of our being.

We have to finally make real the American promise: That all men and women are not only equal at creation, but throughout their lives.

Before they can begin to behave like writers, students will have to write a lot more than once a grading period.

I gave my students some cash register tape, asked them to find their favorite line in Hamlet, and now the walls of my classroom are awash in the language of Shakespeare.

My students are in book clubs and they are reading selections all tied to social justice. They will finish this week and I am going to have them write to this prompt (in the picture).

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

I want to reinforce to my students that we do not just read books to be entertained (though that, too, is important). We read books to enlarge our understanding of others---to step out of our rich cultural bubbles and to see the world through multiple lenses.

After reading my freshmen’s reading responses, I posted an anonymous strong line from each. They read them & voted on which lines left an impact for them. How do you share powerful student writing? #nctevillage #wearechappaqua #writershelpingwriters #greeley

@HFLITerature I always ask: “How do the author’s choices impact meaning and purpose in the text?”

[Kelly Gallagher @KellyGToGo]

It is interesting how many interpreted my earlier tweet as me grading papers. I was not. I was providing mid-process commentary. I spend almost all my time mid-process. I spend very little time with “best drafts.” They need coaching at “halftime.”
