Without the voice, no one cares. Voice is essential to writing - what makes us ‘hear’ the student? #Dude #ILA19 @WritingThief

Fantastic book for getting the kids thinking about an essential part of story telling! #ILA19 @WritingThief

Put it to song and it engages the kids so much more! #ILA19 #dannyspeaks

It’s more important for kids to access information than memorize it. #ILA19 #dannyspeaks #ItsOurSocietyToday

We know this doesn’t work, so why do we continue to do this...because it’s what we’ve already done. #DefinitionOfInsanity #ILA19 #BringJoyIntoLearning #dannyspeaks

Using paint sample strips, have the KIDS, create a progression of words, dull words in the fuller colors and then improve them towards the more brilliant colors. #ILA19 #dannyspeaks

Vocab: draw, words taken from reading selections, ASK students what they know #ILA19 #dannyspeaks

No such thing as proper English, but there is appropriate English. Point out to the kids that there are situations that their vocab needs to be different. The difference between talking at home & taking with their friends. #dannyspeaks #ILA19

Best strategy to expand vocab - read poems!! #ila19 #dannyspeaks

Oh a new one to add to my list!
