Reposted by Teri HJohn Warner @biblioracle.bsky.social · 21/03/2025I wish students could experience how interesting writing (and reading!) can be, the sooner the better. The degree to which they've internalized these actions as purely instrumental and for the purposes of proving proficiency to a standard or authority is a problem. 420955
Teri H @terieh.bsky.social · 26/02/2025During a mentor text discussion today, I told the students to be sure they copy down the sentence exactly, noting the punctuation. Me, the nerd, said, “Because we’re going to be looking closely at that semi-colon.” Student from the back of the room: “You mean we’re performing a semi-colonoscopy?” 😑 010
