We’re back to the learning today w/ a station rotation to introduce Shakespeare- research, discussion, and even the chance to do some acting! Happy to share materials! #chantillypride

When I was a high school English teacher, I was constantly blown away by how willing and how eager my students were to grapple with the difficult topics and questions that arose from books we read. Young people are capable of far more than many adults often give them credit for.

Can't wait to try this out! Thank you for sharing! #chantillypd #aplitchat

A little thing making a big difference for me right now is that I have been putting this question at the beginning of assignments: "What's a piece of feedback you've received that you should keep in mind as you start this?" It helps bridge the gap between feedback and growth.

Join our awesome CHSWritingCenter tutors next week for writing tips and Q&A! Chantilly High School

Thanks so much to @JoriKrulder for this character collage idea. An effective way for Ss to capture the importance of characterization & character relationships in a visual way. Adaptable for any text & any level! Chantilly High School #chantillypd #aplitchat

Adapted Melissa Smith #TeachLivingPoets’s Envelope Game today- each group receives a motif, character & image from the chapter we studied, then Ss add an additional technique & pull it all together = part to whole analysis! Works for any text/collection/level! #chantillypd #aplitchat

Proudly representing Dickinson College for Chantilly Pyramid College Day- sharing our education journeys with our students- and future Red Devils! Chantilly High School Greenbriar West ES #DsonProud #chantillypride

Read alouds benefit ALL ages - adults included. Please read to your secondary students during the year.

Two weeks until we welcome our new students! Prepping to dive into poetry on Day 1. Can’t wait to read these collections and share these- and many other- current writers! #teachlivingpoets

A favorite way to start the year- with a refresher on how authors use language to make meaning & low-stakes writing! Thank you (every August!), Brian Sztabnik, for your Pin the Quote exercise! #chantillypd #aplitchat

The CHSWritingCenter is officially open for the 2022-23 school year tomorrow during Charger Time! Our tutors can’t wait to help our Chantilly High School community continue to grow as writers!

Sometimes giant poems just help us to see “older” literature in a non-threatening way! Working together to make meaning of the literal, inferential and thematic by annotating- building toward putting it all together in writing #chantillypd #aplitchat

Looking for a way to offer quick & immediate feedback/coaching for Ss writing? My colleague created a thesis drafting Google doc- we’re literally all in this together! Ss receive not only teacher feedback, but also see models/revisions from their peers #chantillypd #aplitchat

Thanks to Kimberly Scott, NBCT (and others, I’m sure!) for the Most Important Word exercise- adaptable for any text: part to whole analysis, discussion igniter, and more! #aplitchat #chantillypd
