We're practicing tone words in two of my classes.
Today's quickwrite gave a couple of options to talk about music with a zealous or tranquil tone. If they didn't want to listen to music, they could write about what makes them proud of themselves. I thought they'd like the music prompts so I assumed they wouldn't really write anything.
Then I made them share with the entire class.
Almost every student in both hours shared something they were proud of.
Once again -- for the hundredth,
the thousandth time, I am
surprised and
pleased and
humbled by
these students.
I don't really know
what I'm doing,
but I think it's working.
