Cuvee Réne

Always a risk opening a random sour in the fridge. They don't last but this 9ne was grabbed in time and wow it's a wonderful lambic that was a sour before sour was a thing.

@foss_j12 more importantly @concentricsky the team behind Badgr has values and data policies I can get behind. @ottonomy been a leader in #openbadges since beginning. I did just issue some badges in https://edu407.jgregorymcverry.com/badges.html but those my own design

#edu407 First stop thinking you are writing for a grade. The writing you do in college is a genre you will probably never write again. Just get to know it. It seems you are on you way by understanding some of the key differences in college level writing. We need organization. Use headers. Make sure paragraphs revolve around single ideas. Define key words, be

#edu407 Repeat after me: A worksheet is not a mini-lesson, a worksheet is not an assessment in workshop methods. If you want to teach lessons on editing and revising materials can help but students need to work through the process on their own pieces.

#edu407 you will find many students do not like the tyranny of the blank page. Sometimes, all the time, constraint can help creativity. When ever you do provide free writes offer suggested topics. In younger grades display sentence starters. In older grades provide models of different elements like hooks.

You could channel this stressful story into any genre of fiction a sci-fi pilot who may fail out of the academy as they treat a comrade wounded in battle, a realistic fiction piece telling..well your story...but a blog is a great place to just vent. #edu407

The stories of @scsu are so unique but they share a thread of resiliency. #edu407

#edu407 I would say blogging is a different genre and it doesn't need to be in a conversational tone unless that is what you want your blog to be. Blogging for class is slightly artifical as it comes with an audience of consequence (me) but write for you and never an audience.

Another thing I am seeing in #edu407 writing lesson plans (as in most lesson plans by pre-service teachers) is an under estimation of time. Writing a paragraph itself could be broken up into 5-7 mini lessons.

#edu407 I like to teach run on sentences in the context of sentence variety. It is a subtle shift but then you are teaching from a place of the writers' toolkit rather than the learner's deficit. Talk about how sentence variety improves writing and run-ons will happen...then teach students how to fix them like breaking things with periods and then sometimes

Finding most of #edu407 chose to focus on grammar for their writing mini lessons. These just in time moments pop up all the time and you will do mini-lessons targeted at these objectives but it is also low hanging fruit. Teaching kids to tell their story...thats magic

#edu407 This is a good example of an holistic rubric. Notice a score is compromises multiple criterion. As a teacher you weigh them all against each other and usually an anchor set of quality. I prefer holistic rubrics for teaching writing (criterion based useful in measuring....not so much teaching IMO)
