How do the antagonist and secondary character impact the protagonist’s conflicts? Just ask these writers! Happy National Day of Writing! #WhyIWrite @plazamiddle

Teachers working hard to support struggling writer’s today. They are exploring the question- what are we doing differently to support our students? @BaysideMSVBCPS @EAGLES_IMS @LarkspurMSPride @angieseiders

Bayside MS @BaysideMSVBCPS students use NoRedInk for practice and then immediate application into their own writing. Love it! @angieseiders @noredink #transferthoseskills @CHarmon913 @JSmithjjs1 @ADownham

This is why skill acquisition is so important. I’d rather Ss do this than recall a plot of a text I picked. #skillsmatter #choicereading #textnotendresult

Dual Enrollment English teachers asked this exact question this week.
A request: I am looking for examples of writing assignments given in college---specifically where the prompts are wide open and students are really tasked with generating their own thinking. Non-formulaic. Not tied to repressive rubrics. Can you help me?
