Feel free to leave feedback on what small shifts I could make to strengthen this experience for students/myself. en-us 2022-06-22 16:26:04 UTC 2022-06-24 17:56:12 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f58a.png I encourage you to try writing your own name narrative :) https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229980780 2022-06-24 17:52:18 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229980780 I LOVED THIS! https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229980909 This was so cool. I learned so many cool things about my name in the short drafting time.]]> 2022-06-24 17:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229980909 I love this excerpt and concept. I also love your grading system! Your grading system is more student-focused and gives student choice. Great idea! https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981398 2022-06-24 17:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981398 This was so great. I feel like this lesson is lovely because it helps students connect writing and reading to real, deep, genuine things in life! Something I just naturally did as I was drafting was a brainstorm map of what each part of my name means and nicknames and stories, etc. I feel like that would be a helpful step in between! https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981431 2022-06-24 17:53:47 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981431 I loved this! You could even put an "argumentative" spin in this. Students can make a claim on whether they agree or disagree if their name meaning fits them https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981506 2022-06-24 17:53:55 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981506 Idea for another mentor text: the first page of Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds (My Name Is...) https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981570 2022-06-24 17:54:04 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981570 So excited! https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981785 Thank you so much! I'm excited to research the single point rubric and try to use it in my classroom. :) ]]> 2022-06-24 17:54:25 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229981785 Loved it! https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229982562 I really loved this lesson and I want to try it with my own students. ]]> 2022-06-24 17:56:12 UTC https://padlet.com/westam11/d438v6d48t26qp87/wish/2229982562
