Room 2 “D3: Digging Deeper with Demonstration”

teacher. This nonfiction writing lesson
can be adapted to any grade level. The
teacher reflection is rooted in the TLE requirements that require teachers to
analyze why they do what they do. This
session will help participants see how powerful teacher is and how the tiniest
element can affect student achievement.

Teaching
the love of writing is the first essential step in the “write” direction! Participants will explore a variety of

hands on activities the can take back and start using in their classrooms
immediately.
Room 1 “Writing is As
Easy As ABC”

participate in a variety of lessons integrating the writing process across the
curriculum. The ideas shared can easily
be implemented into any currently classroom curriculum. Specific Common Core goals and objectives
will be addressed.
Room 2 “Write Away!”
Kim Schooler, NBCT, Truman
Elementary, Norman
You
can’t put off training for the race, every moment counts! Participants will engage in a hands-on
strategy for teaching the writing process and setting up a community of writers
within their class to get off on the “write” foot. These lessons will outfit students with the
right equipment and create excitement for writing. Participants will learn how to set up
writing notebooks. Students will cheer on their teammates as they race to the
finish line of Common Core writing whether it is a sprint or marathon.
