Check out my classroom on @DonorsChoose! My students love coding and would greatly benefit from these robots. I'd love your help to bring my project to life: donorschoo.se/e/NLykWqf7C3
@MsTweetsby I use an online game show with clips from popular songs that the kids have to identify the type of figurative language that is used. It is always one of the best classes of the year. #mesqir2019#makeitreal
AT: I use music in my classroom a lot, but the most effective way is to ask my students for music suggestions. I preview them and pick some for journal prompts. The students then journal about whatever the song brings to mind while it is playing on repeat. #mesqir2019#makeitreal
@KWarnick13 I'm the same way. I believe that if I am asking my students to share their thoughts and feelings with me, that I should be willing to be open with them too. #mesqir2019#makeitreal
AI: When kids say they have nothing to write about because they didn't do anything, I could write an example paper about a basic life function, like breathing, to give them a connection to their life. There is always a way to connect your students. #mesqir2019#makeitreal
AI: One of my hobbies is to play games, and many of my students love to play games too. Using games to teach plot is engaging for the kids, especially when they get to create their own game based on their plot. #mesqir2019#makeitreal#Bloxels
@dshannonNMHS I was making banana bread, and the recipe called for 1/4 cup and 1Tbsp of buttermilk. I had powder that has instructions for making 3/4 cup or 1 cup. I always just do the calculations, but because of this book, I thought it would make a good math problem. #mesqir2019#makeitreal
“Comics are just like any other type of reading: in order to help the hesitant student, you have to find the right fit.” Here’s how comics can serve as "literary bridges."

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.
@Mrs_Hitt17 This is me as well! I hated worksheets as a student, so I won't make my students do them. I'm all about changing it up and using technology.
For my lesson, I wanted to teach the writing skills, but let the students pick the topics and modes of publishing according to their passions. #mesqC2P @kwarnick13 @mpriceedtech
I tell my students a story about a personal experience, whether funny or serious. I then let them write papers or journal about their own experiences that they are reminded of. Students create much better products when I share something in my life. #makeitreal#mesqir2019
