Worth posting our work 🙌🏽

Sometimes I ask myself if I annoy followers by posting so much — or if it’s worth sharing what we do in class.

But when I see something like this (pictured) or when I receive messages from teachers who are trying these activities with success…my…

Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ Thank you for sharing this, I'm glad I found you as I start my first year soon :)

Emily Fɾαɳƈιʂ Incredible to see narratives connecting experiences across classrooms! 📚 How are the newcomers' personal stories influencing their analysis of Jorge's Life Story? #MovingStories #textanalysis Curious to hear more about their insights and reflections!

How it started ===> How it's going! 📖📝💻

Newcomers read & analyzed several poems about Jorge's life & constructed a narrative using 13 elements we learned about.
They also added their own experiences & inferences based on text.
Text evidence for each inference was expected.…

I LOVED reading Leslly's narrative!

Leslly wrote her narrative en español and I love it. Her story has all the elements we talked about in class. It is such a compelling story to read. #WritingMatters #languageMatters WriteReader.com
