Participants should come to this session with a laptop or Chromebook and should have a Google Apps for Education account. Below is a brief synopsis of what we’ll be working on.

Classroom:A sneak peak at what’s coming soon to Google Apps for Education
So often, student writing (and the instruction thereof) focuses on what the student is saying, but ignores HOW the student is saying it. In this session participants will look at some of the work of Penny Kittle and how one English teacher has taken her work, added technology, and allowed students to write freely in an effort to develop their personal voice as writers. Participants will be asked to do some writing of their own as part of the learning experience.

In this session participants will learn a way in which Falling in Love with Close Reading and Notice and Note can be paired together to allow for students to know both WHEN and HOW to close read a text for deeper meaning. Participants will practice these skills in a collaborative setting and share with one another their own beliefs on and practices with close reading in the classroom. The ultimate goal of this session is to help teachers know how to get out of their students way without losing the high-level of rigor the CCSS demands.
