Your Comments: What You Learned To look at the standards in a spiral There are some crazy creative people here

(squiggle story) Writing standards development rom k-12 How to use a squiggle to engage student writing,

revising, editing “Teach like a pirate” Dave Burgess-Twitter Other ways to adapt and add to my college research

unit

Your Comments: What You Learned Protocol for giving feedback—focused on

conversation, it should be structured. It’s about giving and receiving; about problem solving

Provide a revising technique each day/week. Spread it out.

POLLEVERTWHERE Community squiggle Pens that are also a stylus! I need one! Thanks

Theresa and Kathy

Your Comments: What You Learned A squiggle is worth a thousand words? New idea for cooperative work Art to words Expanding on someone else’s thinking, keeping

his/her ideas going while contributing one’s own. To narrow down/to sharpen my expectations 1-2 skills at a time How effective feedback works

Your Comments: What You Learned We look at the different writing standards through

the text type spirals Community squiggle and how creative it can be

in the classroom

What Surprised You? What Questions Do You Have?

I like the Venn diagram visual for standards; great to share with colleagues

Bacon jellybeans are NOT GOOD! I was able to see things I missed the frst time I

was grading the college research papers How I was not gut-wrenching nervous until right

before my lesson I produced more during the writing time in the

morning than in the afternoon!

What Surprised You? What Questions Do You Have?

How much fun it was, and how hard it was, for me, to figure out just what the person(s) before me was thinking

Teach like a Pirate!! I can’t wait to learn how to sell tickets to my lessons

Once again, how accessible all creative lessons are to modifications

I was surprised by how crazy our drawings got and the stories that went along with them.

What Surprised You? What Questions Do You Have?

The nuances between the grade level standards

What Do You Want To Know More About? Nothing at this time Poll everywhere (or is it everyone?) P.S. I love how wonderful the vibe is all day—lots

of joy and camaraderie going on Polleverywhere.com Where did you get the Writing Project author’s

chair? Would love to get one for my classroom.

Point of View and Perspective

Point of View: What is it?

• What changed between the story told from the pig’s perspective and the one told from the wolf’s point of view?

• How did perspective or point of view affect the text’s meaning?

• What is point of view or perspective?• Is point of view only relevant for fictional

texts? Why?

Quick Write

• Consider a time when you had to make a decision between different options. Describe the situation, with specific references to the issue, the people involved, the decision, and the rational.

The Things They Carried

• Read and annotate “On the Rainy River.”• As you read, consider point of view and main

idea.

The Things They Carried Re-write

• Brainstorm other possible characters who could have told Tim’s story.

• Re-write the excerpt from a different, yet relevant perspective.

»What will you add because of the new perspective?

»What will you eliminate because of the new perspective?

Exit Ticket

• How can point of view and perspective be relevant to your academic classes (e.g., history, math)?

• How is point of view relevant outside the classroom?
