Today I participated in two hashtag discussions on twitter.
First, I participated in NPR Education's #sceretteachers, which is seeking to document all of the cool things teachers do outside of school, whether it be second jobs, time consuming hobbies or pastimes, or schooling. I was even retweeted by NPR_ed! Then, I knew my plans for College English would yield 20 minutes of time at the end of the hour. I found out #ScaryStoriesin5Words was trending on Twitter today. The kiddos read some via Google (not on Twitter, which is blocked at school -- but maybe we bent the rules to use cell phones...) and then each student wrote 3 of his/her own. Here are a few gems from today: iPhone is broken; no iCloud Mom added me on Snapchat TSwift's new album drops today woke in coffin: not alone 15% of your data left Ten percent battery; no charger We don't have wifi here There's a spider on you Pretty fun Halloween afternoon. We talked a bit about the role of creative writing and participating in a global writing community.

The views on this blog are mine alone and do not reflect those of my employer or anyone else. AuthorKari teaches English I to 9th graders (!) and other electives in rural Iowa. Her husband is also an English teacher, and their friends have sworn to never help them move again because "even libraries don't have that many books." Archives
