PENNY KITTLE

  

Engage and Empower Adolescents with 4 Essential Studies:

Essay Writing  ♦  Book Clubs  ♦  Poetry  ♦  Digital Composition


We must rescue teaching from standardization and formula and reclaim creativity: the heart and life of all writing. This essential move develops students’ agency, independence, and decision-making skills as readers, writers, and creators.  It ignites curiosity and engagement at every grade level. We have the power to transform students’ relationship with literacy—and truly prepare them for the more demanding work following their 6—12 school career.


KEY OBJECTIVES FOR THIS DAY

  • Increase the volume of writing and revision through daily practices across genre
  • Analyze the moves and possibilities writers use to craft texts
  • Use teacher modeling to demonstrate the qualities of effective writing
