#Edusky & #grammar experts: We are debating the use of mentor sentences in grammar instruction, & I'm wondering what the appeal of using mentor sentences is, as well as how they differ in terms of students' understanding compared to the "drill & kill" approach. Any research to support ideas, please!

I'm looking for AI continuums that schools use in K-12 teaching assignments. Must be user-friendly and guide middle school students as to what's allowed in terms of AI usage on an assigned task. Can anyone point me in the right direction? #AI #EduSkyAI, #AIinEducation, #EdTech, #AITutors #EduSky

#English #teachers: do you think the methods used to #teach and practice #literacy in schools are outdated? Specifically, should Ts modify curriculum to better sync with decreasing attention spans & reading outside of school? Or, do Ss need longer texts to help build fluency and comprehension?

Middle school #ELA teachers: looking for notebook hacks/tips you use in class. Do you use paper? Digital? Use them to reflect?
Tricks for getting students to stay in one section and in order? :) I'm hoping to be more intentional about helping students take notes this semester. #literacy #edusky

A former student asked me to describe what I think good writing is so he can use it to compare & contrast my definition to his in a current reflective essay. It's such an interesting question and so much can be included.
So, #teachers, what do you think? What makes good writing? #literacy #ela

This first-day-back assignment encouraged students to talk and write. At no time did I hear, "I don't have anything to write about." I have already learned so much about students' interests, and I'm excited for their final lists on Friday. Check it out here: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/07/l...

We read this beautifully hopeful sentence in class today, and I was motivated to share it here:
"and there [I] spent the remainder of the day in looking ahead, interesting myself in what was in the distance rather than in things near by or behind"
-taken from Chapter 5 of Douglass's Narrative.

a song in the front yard
I want a peek at the back Where it’s rough and untended and hungry weed grows. My mother sneers, but I say it’s fine How they don’t have to go in at quarter to nine.

The Properties of Light
I think of sacrifice as nourishment, the light feeding bark and veins and blood and skin, the tree better off for wanting nothing more.

Today marks the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery.
It is estimated that close to 20 million people were forced to leave the African continent enslaved between 1500-1866. By 1800, this had decimated the African population to half the size it would have been had slavery not occurred.

I found my old (very old) pair of Danskos, & I decided I'd wear them to school. They haven't seen the light of day since 2009 easily. From the car to the school's door, my shoes completely disintegrated! Luckily, I'm such a hot mess I had other shoes in my car. Guess I'm shoe shopping this weekend.
