A stand-up lamp allows the class to make it feel like a setting of comfort. Students are told that they are now in a safe haven. We talk about any subject or prompt for the first 10 minutes, then they are allowed to just write about the topic for another 10 minutes. Then, after time is up they share their readings to a partner or partners for 10 minutes:) TCG]]> 2022-07-14 18:24:03 UTC https://padlet.com/drshakb/p2rjdj8olokslrse/wish/2243577721 https://padlet.com/drshakb/p2rjdj8olokslrse/wish/2243577809 I express to my students that our classroom is our home for the day and we are all family.
