About this title

Synopsis

Imagine the dreamy poet writing in a leather journal about falling leaves. Okay, now banish that thought because with this book, Travis Crowder disrupts those clichés and shares lessons and strategies that crackle with newness. Teachers in Grade 5 and up learn to: Use Tweets and hashtags to teach students to write small bursts of reflection, Model the ways a book sparks memory, emotion, conviction, action, Look for the tipping points in students’ reflection―and prompt them to dive deeper, Embrace the idea that fiction and nonfiction authors want us to feel, so that as teachers we develop students’ comprehension by giving value to emotional connections.
