Whenever my students have a Math or Science test after my class, I feel like just quitting for the period. They are so panicked and obsessed with that assessment that it's almost impossible for them to - God forbid - read a poem and talk about how it makes them feel.

Testing living, group annotations in ENL1W for "The Marrow Thieves" as visible thinking of how the text and our understanding of it evolves over time. We'll add categories and inferences as they come up, and reference it in our talks.

Three Gr 11 students clearly used AI to generate fake quotes from a text...but then theb analyzed those fake quotes (poorly).
Is this cheating? Misunderstanding? Or honestly believing the AI had the answer?
All of it trends towards sad, mad, and bad 😡 😭 😳

Children's books are "written from an adult to a child, from an adult to the adult who will be reading to that child, and [...] from the child that the author once was to the adult that they now are." Beautiful and true.

Help please! Very short mentor texts that deal with appreciation for or the positive influence of a family member (or other person), learning from past generations etc.

Today, in student essays I have read: “ The Ethics of Pooping in School Restrooms.” Includes the phrase “you are contributing to the unique, humid scent of the school bathrooms…”
Also, a missed opportunity for a pun. #iteachEnglish #ela 📖.

Took 1 line from each #ENG3U student poem and used it to start a Beautiful Language wall. They were agog. Thrilled when they saw their writing, celebrating others, asking eachother "what inspired you?". Still can't cut in a straight line though 😆

I was out sick yesterday. While my kids were working hard on upcoming presentations, my awesome sub picked up Gatsby from my desk and read through it. The kids noticed. Today, kids from nearly every class asked if “we really GET to read Gatsby.”

Integrating SEL and Bloom’s taxonomy helped this ELA teacher bring her class conversations to life. 📖💬 Here’s how.

Question:
To my #edusky #teachers who teach #ELL and #ENL students: Do you allow them to use Google Translate in your classrooms? Why or why not?
Thank you!

Every time I see teachers post about reading The Poet X in class, my heart breaks a little because my school district banned it. It remains the most powerful catalyst to get teens reading I’ve ever taught.

Today after school, a student was walking around drinking water out of a construction pylon, singing "construction cone wateeeerrrr" in a gorgeous, operatic tenor.
I love how WEIRD high school can be.
