Art Skills Not Mandatory

Students do the best they can with the skills they have.

“For every man in the world functions to the best of his ability, and no one does less than his best, no matter what he may think about it,” wrote John Steinbeck in The Pearl.

The Basics of Mind Mapping

• Central concept. Details radiate from center. • Use imagery. Use arrows. Use color.• Be creative with white space.• Take risks! Bleed on paper!

• This great technique applies to any lesson, any content, any classroom.

• Every student speaks. Go around the room.

• “No opt out” (Teach Like A Champion).

• In this case: Each student explains some details from the ID Card.

• Community Building. Social-Emotional Learning. Public Speaking. Listening skills (Put the phones down!)

• They are EVALUATED (growth vs. fixed mindset)

• Teacher-Edit = Not Done Yet• Final = Done!

•T-E comments: Add details. Looks like a first draft. Do more with white space. I’ve seen you create better.

Quickwrites:Grab a thought, grab a line, and run with it!

Saying Yes By Diana Chang

“Are you Chinese?”“Yes.”

“American?”“Yes.”

“Really Chinese?”“No…not quite.”

“Really American?”“Well, actually, you see…”

But I would rather say Yes.Not neither-nor, not maybe, but both, and not only

The homes I’ve had, the ways I am

I’d rather say it twice, yes

How have quickwrites made you think differently about writing?

“Quickwrites have made me become a better creative writer. It has helped me think outside of the box with my writing. It has helped me adjust to different types of prompts. I write about things that I normally wouldn’t write about. I get to be free with my writing.” –Graham C.

“Quickwrites have helped me with grammar.

They make me want to write more, and I have a

bigger imagination. Also, I enjoy doing something

quick and easy.”-Sam A.

“I can get creative and enjoy it. It doesn’t always have to be by a rubric.”

-Kennedy E

“Quickwritehas taught me that you

should follow your ideas, even if you don’t think they are that good at

first. It may turn out the way you were hoping

for.”-Jackson U.


NCTE17Sun. 11/19/17

“Quickwrites have made me stop and think about writing, more than just writing and not putting in my full potential.”
