A3: I tend to give my older students theoretical frameworks; my younger ones tools like "emotion wheels" to name character and personal emotions while reading.

But I stopped offering opportunities to practice arts-inspired writing since the election. This realization makes me sad. #literacies

A3: Whew: there is a gap between what I am drawing on to nourish me -- lots of roots music, new Americana, Kendrick Lamar's new album; the work of teacher-artist-researchers (e.g. "Teaching with Arts Infused Pedagogies"; Dr. Kelly Wissman); painting (!!) -- and what I offer my students. #literacies

How are you organizing, structuring, thinking about setting the conditions for, or experiencing the role of environments in community building? (Good to meet you!)

In particularly, we did a close reading of the Lumber 84 Superbowl Ad from 2017, and studied it in context. Then we dreamt together about telling stories our journeys. How do we frame our story of being on a path? How do others frame theirs? And who is telling whose stories? #literacies
