When we expect students to understand EVERYTHING in a book, we may be getting in the way of their enjoying ANYTHING.


Powerful. Might use this as a writing seed next week.

Another example of why a media studies class should be mandatory for all students. Look at the different choices made here in images and words.

Sometimes when history unfolds, it immediately supersedes tomorrow’s lesson plan. Today is one of those days. Students will need to read, write, and talk about this.

Students get good at what they practice: - Tik Tok - Fortnite - Reading - Writing

Time to take all the money budgeted for standardized tests in 2020-21 and invest it in digital resources for students and professional development for teachers.


So grateful for today’s @WRITE_Center webinar with @CarolJago I have never been more fired up about teaching poetry. Truly a refreshing, much-needed moment in a time of educational uncertainty. Thank you, Carol!

Welp, it seems a lot of adults think that kids should be reading all the books that THEY loved as kids. But when you make book lists and recommendations FOR kids, you can't let nostalgia and personal preference guide you. When you leave the kids out of the equation, they suffer.


Notice the keyword CORE. 💯

With so much in flux for the new school year, it seems a perfect moment to revise core reading lists. Does yours include: Jesmyn Ward Colson Whitehead José Saramago Ilya Kaminsky Edwidge Danticat Terrance Hayes Happy to offer other suggestions. cjago@caroljago.com
