Day 1 BTS after #NCTE24. Anyone else already try something you learned? Practiced some oral rehearsing and revising to compose in various voices. AND hung my blue cloth cloud directly in front of my desk as a reminder. @MattGlover @whitneylarocca.bsky.social @emilycallahan.bsky.social @GeorgiaHeard

Favorite quote from my #NCTE24 experience: “What gifts are your students giving you with their writing?” from @drtharris.bsky.social
