Have a question about teaching writing in the age of AI? This week’s community chat—we call it a Jam Session—is *full* of helpful advice. 📣 Add your voice to the conversation: edut.to/489UR14 (Shoutout to panelist @thevogelman.bsky.social and @marcusluther.bsky.social!)

Question from James R in the Jam Session: My students often find themselves drawn to AI to assist them with their writing because it can sound more formal/polished than what they produce themselves. I’m trying to help them understand I’m not looking for polish. I’m looking for their original thoughts. I want to see and hear what they think!

How can I show students that their unpolished voice is actually what I’m looking for?

Response from Brett V, Panelist: What about something like this? with a photo of Marcus Luther's Beautiful Language Wall, a corkboard covered in small bits of exemplar writing.

Second part of Brett's response: Marcus L uses a student exemplar wall to celebrate student words, and you could certainly include less polished, more human, quirky examples on your wall to do this. It’s something I’ve tried and found success with, though I’ve never done one on the scale of what Marcus creates. Would this help celebrate our quirky, imperfect, human voices?

[My love letter to evermore] And for the first time in months, I peeled back my comforter and stepped out of bed. For the first time I knew that there would be happiness again. I would be okay. In the bleakest moment, there would be sun. Evermore will always hold a place. Forevermore. 🤎🤎🤎

[My love letter to evermore Pt 3] The songs that resonated so deeply in my soul, like a spark I felt a sense of peace with turmoil that had enveloped my being. The melody of happiness struck its final chord and the bitterness and deep-welled sadness that kept me in bed for months dimmed. 🤎🤎🤎

[My love letter to evermore Pt 2] But then enters evermore. An album I listened to for the first time when all the world was asleep. Rich warm notes cascading over me, thawing out the numbness and anger I had felt. 🤎🤎🤎

Forevermore. 🤎🤎🤎 [My love letter to evermore P1] Evermore. An album that saved me & pulled me out of one of the deepest, most harrowing dark places in my life. I look at that moment of time and wonder who that girl was. The hollowness in my eyes will haunt the few photographs of that time.

How can this moment feel like just yesterday & years ago?!? From not getting tickets to finally being able to see Taylor Swift on tour, and then attending the closing night of The Eras Tour (in just a few weeks)—it has been a roller coaster of emotions. ✨🫶🏻 Will you be at N3 of Taycouver?
