Thousands of Resources!

Day 3 - Day one of TIW's

Kimberly – TIW
Take Aways:
·         When we look at a child with the way we think they should be processing, it isn’t right, it isn’t developmentally appropriate
·         Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, students needs must be met before learning can happen
·         Having students work on their social emotional intelligence by specifically targeting social awareness. Students can do this by role playing or doing an activity called “come to my boat if…..”
·         “if momma ain’t happy, nobody is happy”  - if the teacher isn’t happy, is the classroom happy?
·         1 out of 50 states have clear standards in SEL – what do they take in account for teacher?

Sean TIW
·        Eat, shoots, and leaves by Lynne Truss
·         The Writing Revolution by Peg Tyre – The Atlantic
·         What proactive instructional strategies can I employ to help students to construct correct grammar in sentences?
·         NCTE.org – formal grammar does not accomplish positive goals and is actually harmful because it takes time away from more profitable activities
·         Grammargirl
·        How Self- Expression damaged My Students –Robert Pondiscio – The Atlantic
·         Jeff Anderson – Everyday Editting, mechanicallyInclined, Ten Things Every Writer Needs to Know
·         More explicitly stating grammar instruction
·         The new well-tempered sentence
·         Ai Weiwei – “I have always admired people who write… writing is a beautiful skill…I needed to learn, because I never had a chance when I grew up… the education system failed. I felt frustrated; here was this beautiful tool to write and communicate, and I couldn’t use it!”

PQP Strategy
Upon hearing or reading students work, PQP is a strategy you can use
P - Praise
Point out something that is great in their paper
Q - Question
Ask a clarifying question or a question that will get them to question their own writing
P - Polish
Make a suggestion
