Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation
http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-response-to-i-you-and-it-by-james.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. In Response to “I You, and It” by James Moffett. It’s mind blow. In Response to James N. Britton’s “Now that you go to School”. Whose side are you on? I am pulling for Britton personally. Why do we write differently than we talk? When did it start or evolve? Just a few questions to ponder. In Response Janet Emig’s “Non-Magical Thinking: Presenting Writing Developmentally in Schools”. Some main points I got from her article:. The i...

Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation: In Response to Barry Lane's "After the End" Chapter 11
http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-response-to-barry-lanes-after-end.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Thursday, July 16, 2009. In Response to Barry Lane's "After the End" Chapter 11. Reading this just put a smile on my face. It made me think back to my school days; did I ever have a teacher like Ms. Treu? July 16, 2009 at 5:12 PM. I like this part too. I think praising the students is very important. Even, a little smile can bring good progress to our student. July 16, 2009 at 5:40 PM. I loved this anecdote, too! July 17, 2009 at 11:13 AM. Something said...

Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation: In Response to Grading and Rubrics
http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-response-to-grading-and-rubrics.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Saturday, July 25, 2009. In Response to Grading and Rubrics. I think the overall consensus is that we need to change something about the grading system in schools. However, just how we do that is the big scary question. Students need to be challenged and they need to be motivated to overcome those challenges, but how? July 26, 2009 at 9:35 PM. I loved this reflective post. I agree with you that rubrics are a key in moving from assessment to grading&#...

Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation: In Response to Bonnie Mary Warne’s “Teaching Conventions in a State-Mandated Testing Context”
http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-response-to-bonnie-mary-warnes.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Thursday, July 23, 2009. In Response to Bonnie Mary Warne’s “Teaching Conventions in a State-Mandated Testing Context”. July 26, 2009 at 2:43 PM. I felt that Bonnie really loves her profession, loves her students and cares for them. She tried different ways to approach them and did not give up. Sometimes I feel frustated when something is wrong, but she thought me to be patiente and look for solutions rather than blame somebody for the problems. The Digi...

http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/writers-notebook-goodies-to-remember.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Wednesday, July 29, 2009. Writer’s Notebook Goodies to Remember! They are a place to store ideas, brainstorm, work on poems or any type of writing. To draft and edit/revise before final draft. A safe place to be creative and experiment, doodle. Put favorite quotes, words, phrases. Write questions for the instructor (for conferencing). Journaling or reflecting after a paper is turned in. Concrete concepts and strategies (like in a science classroom).

Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation: Top 10 Most Important Things about Conferencing
http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/top-10-most-important-things-about.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. Top 10 Most Important Things about Conferencing. 1) The questions are key. What you ask and how you ask can totally help or ruin your conference. 2) Don’t Hold the Paper! 3) Don’t bring out the evil red pen, just take notes about what you talk about and give the notes to the student at the end. 4) Meet in a comfy/special spot. 5) Conferencing should not be extra work, find ways to slip it into the workshop. I Deem it Winter. Thing...

Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. In Response to Sheryl Lain’s “Reaffirming the Writing Workshop for Young Adolescents”. I liked a ton of things Lain said, so I think this post is going to be a grab bag of Lain concepts that hit me the most. I’m excited to try. For more ideas, how do you guys grade workshops? July 14, 2009 at 9:44 PM. Oh I cant tell you how much I value authors that give me examples! July 17, 2009 at 11:21 AM. My students gain so much from my comm...

http://brittkeller.blogspot.com/2009/07/in-response-to-chapter-13-conferring.html
Shooting the Breeze and other Classy Conversation. Monday, July 20, 2009. In Response to “Chapter 13 Conferring Writing Becomes a Tool for Thought”. I personally can admit that I have been guilty of what is talked about on 232, “Why is it so difficult to give a simple human response? July 20, 2009 at 12:53 PM. July 20, 2009 at 12:56 PM. July 22, 2009 at 12:00 PM. July 22, 2009 at 11:26 PM. I hope you feel better. Christy. July 26, 2009 at 2:37 PM. What a powerful reflection, like you said, sometimes we f...
