I love the idea of giving students writing prompts to use in their peer feedback explained in Dean's writing. Especially for the earlier grades this can be beneficial and almost give them a guideline to work with. #396FlynnS23

"Focus on the piece, not the writer." I loved this quote from Kirby & Crovitz. So often we get sidetracked by the writer's opinions and want to disagree. It's not about disagreeing it's about bettering the overall writing. #396FlynnS23

[Abby @ScholarHess]

Kirby & Crovitz call for students and teachers to use "questioning" as part of their feedback on student writing. I personally love this idea as it doesn't tell students what to do but rather inquires about what they could do to better their writing. #396FlynnS23

@efolkresearch I almost feel as though we have little control over this. Unless we set the precedent of what a good piece of feedback looks like (respectful and intelligent). #396FlynnS23

@BenEverhart6 I'm beginning to wonder the same thing, Ben. My writing topics course is strictly peer feedback in class as a group and I'm wondering if that really is helpful. Especially when so many of the comments get repeated. #396FlynnS23

A general question I have is about responding to students to encourage written fluency. The text says that students need encouragement and support, but does that mean we shouldn't give constructive criticism? #396FlynnS23

@RebeccaStept I love this point of learning from Muhammad. It's so neat to think we have this opportunity ourselves. I'd even add that we have the ability to discover others' thoughts as well. #396FlynnS23

@IveyWallaceEDU Hey Ivey, love that you included a list drawing a connection between important identities stemming from ideologies, language, and more. Wondering if you could factor in ethnicity as well?! #396FlynnS23

@efolkresearch I like your point of culturally relevant education. It's definitely something that HRL screams and I hope that we can see this integrated into our own lesson plans.

[Abby @ScholarHess]

I felt the questions for getting to know students were really helpful. I'm used to really unspecific questions such as what's your favorite color and appreciated the depth of these questions provided by HL. #396FlynnS23

[Abby @ScholarHess]

I found it funny that in HL the Funds of Knowledge were tied to the Culture-Centered Theory. I thought this was a really important connection to make especially when more often than not marginalized students experience feelings of exclusion. #396FlynnS23

I actually saved the 11 effective elements of adolescent writing instruction (WN) to use in my future classroom. I feel this is something that not only future educators should be aware of but also students so they can employ these strategies. #396FlynnS23

[Abby @ScholarHess]

The idea of a "silent majority" is such a scary concept. The fact that an entire group of students lack writing proficiency but do not receive additional help is heartbreaking. I am wondering how this sort of group is identified and can be addressed? #396FlynnS23

Loved watching this Dr. P! You truly are so knowledgeable but I love that you share in such a genuine way. I learned the impact of first generation relations in high school and how it can extend to even effect families.

@_calebpricer @BPowell__ Hey Caleb! I haven't seen miss alina before but these look super cute. I like that she seems to have a lot of teaching tools. #teacheredumatters

Grow: The menu would need to be extremely thorough so that this can be a time of independent/group work for students. We weren't certain about who to work with for the partner piece as some of us were still working on the first group assignment. #teacheredumatters

[Abby @ScholarHess]

Glow: I was able to complete everything on the menu and understand it as a student. I'd definitely consider using it in my future classroom. I've seen similar things done before in classrooms and think they're helpful to lay the entire agenda out for students. #teacheredumatters

Today made me consider the ways that bias in an article meant to be informational can affect its readers. I hope to push students to close reading of the language in relation to racial topics. #teacheredumatters

After considering what literacy truly means over the past few weeks, I feel that the song "This Feeling" by Alabama Shakes is a great depiction of literacy.
I just kept hoping, I just kept hoping
The way would become clear
Literacy is a true privilege.
