In Celebration of Readers and Writers: The Infusion of Movement, Merriment, and Joy

“I like coming to school because there is always something to look forward to.” 

                                                                 ~ Kadi, 5th grader 

Routines are what make a classroom run and what could be better than built-in celebrations that students not only look forward to, but plan for?  A celebratory culture of movement, voice and choice engages us in laughter, pleasure and yes, even healing.  Starting small, affirmations can take just a few minutes and may eventually lead up to larger events such as a more carefully planned Literary Tea inviting family and friends to join in community over books and words. 

In this course we will read and write a variety of diverse short texts including young adult novels in verse, picture books, poetry, flash fiction and more.  We will then bring these readings and writings to life through multi-modal expressions of the visual, linguistic, spatial, aural, and gestural to deepen comprehension, connection, collective creativity, and engagement.  Some of these include: 

  • Book Bash  

  • Soapbox Moment 

  • Speed Date Share 

  • Literary Tea 

  • Friday Festival 

  • LOUD Around the Room  

  • Poetry Slam  

  • Tailgating 

  • Genre Gala  

  • Open Mic  

“The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel they’re valued." Sir Ken Robinson 

*This course will run 4 days the week of July 4th and then meet again for one day later in the summer to share final celebrations together virtually.

Stories From the Kitchen: Carving Unique Spaces For Student Voice, Choice, and Agency with Nawal Qarooni Casiano

Nawal is excited to teach a rich, multimodal summer course titled Stories from the Kitchen: Carving Unique Spaces for Student Voice, Choice, and Agency this summer.

Together as an educator community, we will explore all the ways families can build literacy skills with their everyday behaviors in meal making, passing down family recipes, and sharing of stories about their days at the kitchen table. We will cull and grapple with a variety of mentor texts for work around culturally nourishing stories that are multimodal, in exploration of poetry, passages from novels, picture books and song. Together we will honor multicultural backgrounds via text and composition that includes translanguaging, with hybrid genre texts like picture books about food that elucidates recipes and background on the communities of origin. 

Throughout the process, educators will have the chance to dig into recent scholarship about indigenous education and ways of knowing, in addition to culturally relevant pedagogy that serves our students in engagement by consistently weaving pillars of choice, voice and agency throughout daily instruction and the fabric of our classrooms. Stories from the kitchen also exalts traditions of oral storytelling (think: podcasts and recordings!), propelling us into capstone projects that will be practical for immediate use in the classroom, while nourishing the rich diversity of the students in our care. Stories from the kitchen will nourish us as an educator community, too.

Reimagining Revision: Fostering a Writer's Mindset in our Students

Do you groan when you hear your writing students utter the words, “I like it the way it is” about their drafts? We all want our students to embrace revision, but perhaps it should be no surprise, this revision resistance. Revision is messy, challenging, and can feel threatening and frustrating for any writer. So how can we help our students – and ourselves – be more open to it? 

In this course, we will explore the idea of revision not as a single stage in the writing process – a step right after “drafting” and just before “editing” – but as a mindset that’s present through every part of our writing. We will actively cultivate our own mindset stances – including metacognition, perspective-taking, flexible thinking, and risk-taking – as we draft and revise different pieces throughout our week. Chris will share practical approaches teachers can use to make revision engaging, meaningful, and fun for their students, at any level. Participants will develop practices they can weave into their classes’ minilessons and pre-writing, drafting, conferring, and sharing structures. Along the way, we’ll make some manageable but powerful shifts that can foster a writer’s mindset in our students and help them move beyond revision resistance. 

Chris Hall is the author of The Writer’s Mindset and learns everyday about writing and revision alongside his language arts students at Oyster River Middle School in Durham, NH. Over the past twenty years, he has taught in urban, suburban, public, independent, and international schools, where he has helped young writers find authentic purpose, build community, and discover the power of their own words. Chris also served as a Heinemann Fellow, researching innovative writing practices within a cohort of dynamic educators from across the country.

Writing Unbound: Finding a Place for Fiction

While the reading of fiction is at the absolute center of the English/Language Arts, the writing of fiction usually fades out in middle school—if it lasts that long. Yet the desire to write fiction-- to create imagined worlds, characters, and conflicts--doesn’t die. In this short course, we will explore ways to open the door to fiction writing. We will try our hand at short fiction; we will interview teachers who bring fiction (even novel writing) into the classroom; and we’ll talk with students who are avid fiction writers. We’ll even show how fiction writing can support literary analysis.
