In the newest episode of PoPCast, @whitneylarocca.bsky.social and I discuss questions we pose to students to get them talking about published writing and using that discussion as a bridge to revision of their own writing. Check it out on your favorite podcast platform (search PoPCast Reboot).

Day 1 BTS after #NCTE24. Anyone else already try something you learned? Practiced some oral rehearsing and revising to compose in various voices. AND hung my blue cloth cloud directly in front of my desk as a reminder. @MattGlover @whitneylarocca.bsky.social @emilycallahan.bsky.social @GeorgiaHeard

Favorite quote from my #NCTE24 experience: “What gifts are your students giving you with their writing?” from @drtharris.bsky.social
I’m taking this one with me daily. ❤️
