Silent Debate (10 Activities) For this task, you’re going to have an argument with a classmate — but there’s a twist: you won’t be speaking at all. Instead, you will argue on paper. Link here: briantolentino.com/silent-debate/

Yes!! I have been saying this for years! This applies to ELs especially. The idea that ELs can't read anything but one-pagers and short stories is appalling.

🔎 This approach doesn't just ask Ss to pay close attention to the reading – it also invites them to notice their own thoughts and observations! Via T @TheLiteracyDive

Excellent. Print it and place it on every teacher's desk in America.

🔥Hot take?🚨The best lessons do not teach students any new information.‼️ Today’s lesson: 1️⃣ Flashcard spaced practice 2️⃣ Sketch and Tell retrieval practice 3️⃣ Concept revision: how/why elaboration 4️⃣ Metacognition: Prioritize parts of concept still needing more revision time

The impact of a teacher can last a lifetime.

Thank you for implementing ! I wish I could be a fly on the wall in your classroom! @Seidlitz_Ed

So true!!

Rocked the opening of Gatsby this week with my juniors. Unpacked language and characterization. It’s been a pretty successful launch of Odell Literacy . Language sort was my creation to support ELL familiarity with language in the text!

📚 Loving our T&L Book Club! Staff get these one-pagers summarising the chapters we’ve explored from @KateJones_teach and @Doug_Lemov — perfect for quick reflection and classroom inspiration. #CPD #TeachingAndLearning

An awesome resource that I love sharing everywhere: "...almost all information stored in short-term memory that is not rehearsed is lost within 18 to 30 seconds!" #retrieval Thank you @KateJones_teach for all of your amazing resources!
