   Do you even REST Bro?

   Are you also a teacher who is complete garbage at resting? Do you rest well? TELL ME YOUR WAYS. I'm hoping to start a conversation about/with educators and school personnel who struggle to rest OR who are wonderful at this and wish to share tips. If you have feelings on this, want to talk about it? We can bang out a quick episode before the shenanigans start up.

   Promptapalooza: Having students decide what they are writing

   I know this may feel terrifying and arduous (it is), but the writing is SO great when kids feel engaged and in charge. Sketchnotes link here. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY9KdRfNN9w) There will be an addendum to this podcast with student voices! Please be on the lookout for it!

   Writing Introductions and Conclusions-Developing a Word Bank Before You Write

   We ask students to write an introduction statement and then "write the same idea but with different words" for a conclusion statement. In this episode, I talk about how I ask students to: -develop a word bank for terms they will use repeatedly in their essay while they are writing outline or graphic organizer -creating a word bank at the start of the project allows them to have the vocabulary on hand and use it as they are writing; I have found asking them to think about vocabulary in the middle of the writing process can be a stumbling block -having students restructure a simple sentence so that they know how to write a conclusion statement with ease and confidence, it can be as easy as writing subject + predicate, and then reconfiguring it to be predicate + subject Examples used in podcast: Gender: feminist, equity, femininity, masculinity, gender roles, roles of women, roles of men Historical: Factual, true, accurate, objective, literal Social: Marxist (this will take some parsing) collective, societal, structural, demographical, social strata Thesis statements examples: Version 1: -When examining Arthur Miller’s The Crucible through critical lenses, it becomes evident that gender, historical, and social contexts play a significant role in shaping the events and characters in the story. Version 2: Shifting perspectives to consider roles of women and men, the accurate depiction of hysteria in our country’s history, and the framework of social strata can highlight connections when analyzing the plot and characters of The Crucible by Arthur Miller.
