THE SECRET TO TEACHING MIDDLE SCHOOL WRITING

https://www.theedadvocate.org/the-secret-to-teaching-middle-school-writing/?fbclid=IwAR1lfd5z-56RbUh_nIIClk3jt8T2kJTyGXO-edvkBV6CUNSCxMHv1Qg9i50

Middle school writing is an experience like no other, for both the students and their teachers.

Teaching middle school writing can be one of the most rewarding experiences you might have, and if you incorporate some of these strategies, your students will find it equally rewarding.

As Ryan Tahmaseb has discovered, middle school students are “full of imagination and creativity.” This makes the middle school grades the best time for teaching students the writing skills they need. Students in middle school are often more adventurous in trying new writing strategies than at any other time in their lives.

MLK Quotes: #1

Man, this art is messing with my mind! Original Op Art

Victor Vasely Vonal Stri 1975

Victor Vasarely

The art seems to move--before animation.

Though Victor doesn't seem like a rave kind of guy in this pic--I felt his art needed some background music. BTW, they consider him to be the grandfather of op art.

Collaborating on Project-Based Learning

https://www.edutopia.org/article/collaborating-project-based-learning?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

Many schools have structures to support the work of a professional learning community (PLC). Teams have dedicated time to plan together, analyze data, and plan interventions and enrichment. They collaborate to support student achievement and foster a sense of shared responsibility for all students.

This culture and work can enhance the implementation of project-based learning (PBL), but teachers may struggle to see how their PLC can support PBL, instead of perceiving the PLC and PBL as separate aspects of their work. However, there are specific ways to make them work in harmony. A project cycle aligned to elements of the PLC can ensure greater success of PBL in terms of both teacher and student learning.
