I liked the ideas at the beginning of the session (jokes, "play" derivatives, etc.).  I really like those practical suggestions.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to see more great ideas of how to foster curiosity in words. Things that are easy to implement both in the classroom setting with students and in a virtual setting.

What was most helpful was rethinking how to create more WORD CURIOUS environment for the students through jokes, word gradients, etc.

The discussion about HOW to give students feedback on a piece of writing was especially helpful.

The fact that our students are bilingual learners, I would like to see strategies on how we could use students knowledge of the Arabic language to foster word curiosity in English.

I really liked that you made us curious (about words) when we got to choose the words that we felt connected with using that “Words are Fascinating!” list.

I definitely would like to try some of the stuff that you shared about cultivating word curiosity among our kids and how we can encourage interactive engagement. I am now planning on having a “Joke of the day” area in my class. Since I have subscribed to Google daily jokes, I will use those!

# data[].attributes.body
In reflecting on the session today my take home is that I need to shift my thinking and approach to word study and really foster a curiosity and excitement about words.

I plan to give the spelling inventory to my students and see where that takes me. I may try to weave a few "Word Investigations" into my plans after I have some specific data.

Whats the difference?

# data[].attributes.body
I also would like to try the spelling inventory. I like how the guide can give us usable data that we can refer to when we plan our strategies and minilessons.

I also like the mini word inquiries and the sorting of words that can be grouped in many ways.

One more thing that I took note of are the 2 questions that Patricia Cunningham “would like to put in to the mouths of every teacher from fourth grade through high school”

“Do I know any other words that look and sound like this word?”

“Are any of these look-alike/sound-alike words related to each other?

# data[].attributes.body
I am interested in introducing morphology/word matrix with my students. I would like to see how this will increase their understanding of a base word as well as guide them in seeing how the word changes by adding a prefix or suffix to the same base word.

Lessons on Rule Making and Rule Breaking in Elementary Writing

Good writers know the rules, but skilled punctuators don't simply go by the conventions. They use punctuation to make meaning. Practical Punctuation shows you how to help students discover the relationship between punctuation and meaning-and how they can use it to improve their writing.

Dan has made it his business to delve into punctuation, and we are all the wiser for the impressive and exciting writing about the subject that he has done in this book.

Author of How's It Going? and Assessing Writers

In all the books I've read about written language, Dan's is the first to explore the mind's ear.... He has actually changed the way I read as well as write. How lucky we are to (finally) have an intellectually engaging exploration of what we have too long considered drudgery.... When you consider Dan's approach, you'll wonder how you ever taught another way.

Coauthor of Mosaic of Thought, Second Edition, and author of To Understand

Get ready to be taken by the hand by a master teacher who will show you how to teach students the rules of punctuation in clearly defined lessons. From the first page I was eager to take this book to my own teaching.

Author of The Power of Grammar

Punctuation is important. Period. Good writers know the rules, but skilled punctuators don't simply go by the conventions. They use punctuation to make meaning. Practical Punctuation shows you how to help students discover the relationship between punctuation and meaning-and how they can use it to improve their writing.

Practical Punctuation 's strategies help writers connect periods, commas, and dashes to mood, emphasis, and rhythm. Dan Feigelson's ready-to-use lessons provide opportunities to:

show students the purposes of punctuation before teaching them the rules

give writers chances to experiment with punctuating

model the thinking that goes into punctuating

teach conventions explicitly, but not absolutely

hold students accountable for punctuation in formal writing.

Feigelson's lessons are highly structured. They demonstrate how to teach punctuation as a craft tool with writers of varying sophistication or age:

beginners: ending punctuation

intermediate-stage writers: the comma

advanced writers: internal punctuation and cadence.

Feigelson includes a handy teacher's reference guide to punctuation as well as grade-by-grade guidelines that make assessing punctuation simpler. And his interviews with world-renowned authors will help you and your writers better understand the power punctuation has to impart meaning.

Read Practical Punctuation and help students make choices with punctuation-instead of letting punctuation rules make choices for them.

A root word is the basic linguistic unit, and it is the original form of a word while a base word is a word in its simplest form.

3 Things I Learned

I learned many ideas that I can use to get my students curious about words.

Investigating word families will give my students opportunities to connect with the meaning of the words rather than just with the letters and sound. Understanding how words are built and put together will guide them as they use words in different context.

I will definitely follow what Patricia Cunningham would like us, teachers, to ask to our students:

“Do I know any other words that look and sound like this word?”

“Are any of these look-alike/sound-alike words related to each other?

2 Things I want to Try

I would like to try the Spelling inventory because the analysis will really help me see what my students already know and what they need help with.

The purposeful and meaningful Grammar Inquiry that we learned today is another thing that I want to do with my students if I have the chance. I like how it is structured and it looks like something that the students will really enjoy.

1 Wondering I Have

I wonder if you have other ideas about how to teach grammar through an inquiry approach, particularly something that is kind of short and sweet.
