Time to APPARTY!
Delightful Duo!
Today's presenters did a remarkable job of providing motivating and applicable writing lessons!
- Monique chose to focus on using literature to teach writing. We analyzed a poem with a partner and then chose a way to present it. We then analyzed "The Highwayman," which we used to compare and contrast. We also participated in philosophical chairs, used to engage students in argumentative writing.
- Sarah decided to use her history and sociology background to help explain the benefit of utilizing primary sources as a launching pad for narrative writing. She aims to develop writing across the curriculum and develop voice using primary source visuals. As part of her presentation we analyzed primary source photos and wrote narrative pieces supported by each photo.
