It goes ALL IN on motivation techniques and explicit instruction. ✍️ #EduSky #elateacher #ela #teacher #middleschool teacher14 Jan 2025 15:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfpjcxvs4z2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lfmytoy4a32qDaily quick-writes can set the tone for the lesson... writing is important. Writing A LOT is required. And you can do it. 😍 https://buff.ly/40cdQDt #EduSky #ela #teacher13 Jan 2025 15:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lfmytoy4a32qhttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lcw226ny5j2uI created my own writing program based on what I learned from my editors while publishing children's books. THIS is what if finally producing huge results! It includes these 4 essential components: Student leaders, power lessons, choice by design, and diamond mining. 💎 https://buff.ly/3Vtib3L https://structuredwritingteacher.com10 Dec 2024 01:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcw226ny5j2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lcedgib3ov2aWriting interventions...I use proactive and reactive methods to teach grammar and sentence writing! #EduSky #iteachenglish #ela #teacher https://buff.ly/3CO5jP603 Dec 2024 00:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lcedgib3ov2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lbstjcafrc26My approach to writing interventions begins with "emotional deposits" before addressing grammar directly. In this video, I demonstrate how I engage students so they are actively involved rather than passively waiting for instruction or worksheets. #EduSky #iteachenglish #ela https://buff.ly/4g3qVoY26 Nov 2024 01:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbstjcafrc26https://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lblc4kh26422I like using CER (claim, evidence, reasoning) for most of our history responses. Students learn about it in detail during their ELA class, then transfer that to history topics. This one is from their Julius Caesar activity, using Classkick. #EduSky #edtech #ela #iteachenglish23 Nov 2024 01:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lblc4kh26422https://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lbirnodmox2iI teach writing skills in a hierarchy, some more important than others. We start the year learning how to create VOICE in any piece of writing. The second most important skill I teach throughout the year... the hook! Here's how: https://buff.ly/4hUw7NE #EduSky #ela #iteachenglish22 Nov 2024 01:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbirnodmox2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lbfqgcw34x2zDuring weekly writing workshops, my students choose a skill, a writing path, and a line length goal. This student was having trouble deciding what to write about, so she chose path #2: Rants & Raves. This is a letter to her story. AMAZING! 😍20 Nov 2024 20:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbfqgcw34x2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lbd7y3weyd2r✏️ I'm a HUGE fan of Constructivist pedagogy. It's the theory of instruction where students construct their own knowledge through experiences versus being lectured on abstract concepts. They learn by doing! Here are some ways I use the approach in my writing program... #EduSky #ela #iteachenglish19 Nov 2024 20:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbd7y3weyd2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3lbafgldw5b2eThere are 4 components to a writing program that work together like a symphony. Essay writing is only ONE part! #EduSky #ela #elateacher https://buff.ly/3Z8tIYv18 Nov 2024 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lbafgldw5b2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/structuredwriting.bsky.social/post/3layonuvfvc2yThe value of a timed, daily quick-write... students finally take risks and practice applying the skills.

Hey, bluesky friends. I am a published middle school author and have now created my own writing program for kids in grades 4-8. I provide training and ideas on how to implement strategies real life authors use! I would love to connect with other educators and parents. #EduSky14 Nov 2024 19:39 +0000at://did:plc:pcxhhgalkycye7fabxo7ugqp/app.bsky.feed.post/3lawmhsknc22w
