Professor friends, This time of year is tough for college students. Sometimes it feels like the world is crashing down. Be kind. That paper doesn’t need to be due by that made up deadline. Just because you were tortured doesn’t mean you have to invoke the same trauma #CarryOn

This is a really great idea!

As a writing teacher, my main question was, "What's it like?" What's it like to have lived your life? To be you?What future do you see for yourself? And how can we use writing and reading to explore these questions?

I think this is really interesting. Especially the table w language in it.

As technology continues to grow, it seems that our kids’ ability to talk for long periods of time on one topic is dwindling. We need to encourage conversations-both social and academic. Social talk makes academic talk better! @MissNFriday
