I really can't think of a better change to make.

Mentor Texts Demystifying the writing process via examples students can learn from and emulate.

Love using mentor texts in writing instruction. You know about the NYT mentor text website right? It’s a great source for mentor texts. www.nytimes.com/column/learn... #nwp #2ndaryela

Exploring literature is key to teaching English Reading passages is no substitute for reading books.

Great essay about books in schools that raises a good question: does the fact that writing is easier to standardize justify having it occupy so much more of our weekly/yearly work?

For those who forgot Ray Bradbury's short story "The Veldt," it's an excellent allegory for the addictive properties and default parenting of social media; possibly predictive of future AI. #njed #edusky #iteachenglish #socialmedia

Today's conversation: Writing is not the production of written words. Writing is a deeply embodied, multimodal process, and when we fail to treat it this way, we fail to serve many young writers well. We need to MAKE and SPEAK throughout the process, not only in rehearsal. Writing is design. :)
