I'm throwing another resource out into the #OntEd Twittersphere. Here's a collection of #MentorTexts that we're developing for use with students in #destreamed ENG1D courses. I'd love to see a "take-one, leave-one" approach here; so please add liberally. padlet.com/himsjaso1809/M…
Please highlight a text that you've added that you're especially pleased with. To start this (even though it feels like picking a favourite child) I'll point out @ivancoyote's "We all need a safe place to pee." It's just a fantastic talk.
I'll credit the shoulders we're standing on here, too. We grabbed a number of stories from this great thread started by @heymrsbond.
Hey English teacher friends! This year in Creative Writing, I started a daily sentence study warm-up that I called Word Lab. It was the most beneficial 10 minutes of our class, hands down, and I want to share all of the resources I created with you! [thread!]
I curated a list of 50 sentences from a wide range of genres, passages that would get students thinking about style & craft & grammatical moves in authentic ways.
We followed three simple steps: [1] transcribe the passage in their digital notebooks; [2] analyze the techniques they noticed; and [3] imitate those techniques in their own original sentences (& of course, share!)
