I’ve been combing through the new #ENL1W1 curriculum and drawing parallels between Gholdy Muhammad’s framework in Unearthing Joy. So many connections (particularly in the front matter) that I am excited to share as part of my workshop next week at the ELAN conference!

And we're off! Ready to chat about exciting possibilities within the new #OntEd Language Curriculum at the ELAN Opening Plenary #ELANanticipates

Today John Warner provided the bump I needed to get ready for this year's English classes. "The genesis of joy is engagement." "The problem-solving of writing is a unique cognitive experience." Thanks to ELAN for this opportunity. #ELANanticipates "

To those interested in learning more about the tactile essay approach I used, I've put together a set of slides that outline the process.

Tactile passage analyses from #NBE3U turned out well! 😁 Students said "sir this assignment made me think SO MUCH"...to them, a complaint; to me, a compliment! Toronto Catholic District School Board ELAN Brian Weishar MPJ English Department #tcdsb #onted #edchat
