@angelatranud Maybe we should look into what ESL professionals are doing for the language aspect, but its probably a matter of training the class by starting with low-stakes writing assignments and progressing from there

@HaileyKnowles11 I think a group setting would add variation as long as the groups are strategically chosen by having different skill set levels represented in each group. They’d also benefit from some form of guidance to keep it structured.

#396FlynnS22 how do we navigate feedback for students who find it easier to articulate themselves in a language that is not English?

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

#396FlynnS22 the asset perspective applied to student writing as well. When we give them examples of good writing, include some of their best writing to encourage them. They’ll recognize their own writing process and become more aware of how to emulate it for future writing.

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

#396FlynnS22 providing prompts for students to follow provides them with a framework for feedback. However, we must ensure that the prompts are based on text features that are relevant for the genre of their writing.

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

#396FlynnS22 modeling the process of providing feedback is a simple solution, but it is effective as it can guide students towards the right questions to ask themselves to determine what needs feedback.

@WMGhaha Not having to wait for adulthood to know the truth is powerful because it continues to be the reality to this day. I think doing so would be a great hit against institutionalized racism.

@WMGhaha This is interesting with how the country is doing politically. I'd like to believe that there is support, but I'm sure the Don't Say Gay bill and anti-CRT discourse is not helping the cause.

How can we add to the HRL framework to be more specific for non-Black students? Take: the distinctive toll immigration has on certain communities that is not entirely universal. #396FlynnS22

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

HRL: As teachers, we cannot allow students to become passive consumers of media while there is severe oppression occurring in and outside of their own lives #396FlynnS22

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

HRL: While skills are an integral part of learning, we still have to ensure that we are taking students beyond these mechanics. Using culturally responsive content in the classroom is a simple way of implementing this next necessary step #396FlynnS22

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

WN: By not differentiating between reading and writing instruction we are doing students a disservice. I would personally incorporate more summaries + collab writing to give them skills to access more job interviews and careers after graduation #396FlynnS22

@mxchrispratt Teaching in public schools, we have a responsibility to be neutral to teach HOW to think and not WHAT. While it is easier said than done, our work must be intentionally neutral to consider the differing backgrounds of students/families/communities.

How can we break the cycle that always seems to occur through the years of being clueless towards pop culture after you reach a certain age? #395FlynnF21

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

How do we actively continue to keep up with the pop culture students experience without putting our own biases on them? #395FlynnF21

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

We can teach pop culture as beneficial for students and their society through using relevant examples they are familiar with in lessons and the classroom. #395FlynnF21

[Emily Arias @udemilyarias]

Students can become critical consumers of media by guiding them through questioning why and how they are consuming media #395FlynnF21

@JEFTeach
Dear Newkirk, once the Digital Divide is redefined, students who associate themselves with what we have labeled as "subliterature" will improve their literacy rates as we finally begin to allow them to read more books of their choice.
