It is a perceptual challenge and it is more difficult than anything else that I have ever done-so I do it. And it makes me happy when I do it well." Ernest Hemingway jaherzog https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177553024 2017-06-27 13:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177553024 The Sentence Writing Strategy is designed to enable students to write four kinds of sentences: simple, compound, complex and compound-complex. How is this skill reflected in the components of the writing process? How can this skill lead to a more confident writer? jaherzog https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177553276 2017-06-27 13:23:47 UTC https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177553276 Excuse me, I'm full https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177584635 While participants are probably feeling full, so are we.  We learn from you and hear about how you are working in your schools. The discussions have been rich, and I have been making many notes and posting on our SIM Facebook page to not lose these ideas. So at the end of the second day, I wish we had more time together to process and support you before you head to your home grounds.]]> 2017-06-27 19:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177584635 A New Way to Teach Capitalization, Commas, and Punctuation Rules... https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177653002 I'm excited to try this with my students.  I'll be doing a lot of thinking on how to incorporate this.]]> 2017-06-28 13:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/177653002 New Videos Added: The Impact Cycle dgillam https://padlet.com/dgillam/vcrn0fl51cc7/wish/178954720 and
