Students take writing more seriously when they know it’s for a real audience. Here I’ve compiled all their realistic fiction essays (based on UN Sustainable Development Goals they are passionate about) that invite others to take action in their community.

Grade 5 students @AISQ8 are identifying main ideas of texts and supporting details through an #InvestigationTrail. Once students work together to answer a question, they must go to a different question. #IB #MYP #Grade5 #constructivism #ApproachesToLearning #middleschool

#Grade6 @AISQ8 are exploring Literary Terms such as plot, theme, mood, tone, types of conflict, and types of irony while playing a Literary Truth or Dare game. I love tricking them into learning!! Who said play is only for #PYP? #MYP @iborganization

Teachers shouldn't have to cover classes, give up planning time, work 20 extra hours a week, take on extra tasks, etc. just to be considered an effective teacher or all in. Teachers give above and beyond already without it becoming the expectation. It's why so many are burned out
