Microthemes

I really liked this mornings lesson using microthemes. It was a quick write and non threatening. Posting the stickies around the room allowed everyone to communicate with each other! It gave us an insight into what others want a writing teacher to be like. It was neat to see how much in agreement most of us were. Good activity that can be adapted to many subjects!!

I agree. It was comforting to see that so many of us were on the same page as to what we feel are good qualities of a writing instructor. I think I'll use this strategy with my students in the upcoming year.

I agree. I would like to keep those adjectives in my mind to remind me of those qualities as I teach writing.
