What about, instead of #English or #ELA we call our classes
Literature and Language Arts
or something like that?

Starting Swift’s “A Modest Proposal” today with a bit of fakery: intro social problems like poverty and its knock-on effects. Then examine AMP as a model of a “white paper” policy solution with research, stats, interviews…. And wait for the students to reach that one paragraph….. #iteachenglish

USE GOAL SETTING TO GROW GREAT STUDENT WRITERS.
Writing goals help students identify what they can do to improve in their writing and teach them to set specific targets to work on, says Valerie Bolling. #edusky @valeriebolling.bsky.social #iteachEnglish #ELA

When a neighboring teacher comes to see what all the excitement is about? That’s successful student engagement. 🏆

I moved to whole class feedback on rough drafts first. It let me help everyone make significant revisions & freed up time for 1:1 conferences w/ students who were excelling or having a hard time.
This is a strong thread for expert teachers considering wcf.
