" Hello Megan,
I absolutely love inquiry-based instruction. The main reason is because most time there is more than one right answer! Students need to think, apply, prove, develop an outcome and use many other skills to create a conclusion.…"
"Writing about what you know or your own experiences I believe can help students use language at its fullest. Students will be able to write from a state of passion. Their words will be their life and developing a story from that will allow them to…"
"Hello Tracey,
I too feel that quick write could and should be used in all content areas. I can see a science teacher using a quick write to check for prior knowledge or stimulate a student to focus on a topic. I would like to see it combined with…"
"1. I am a big fan of graphics myself and I think that since our world is composed of both images and words, so should the lessons we share with our students. In both libraries and classrooms I think we can encourage students to remember that writing…"

1. In my case, graphics are of great use in WebCT or Blackboard, the on-line data collection/discussion forum/grade keeping pedagogical tool in use on most university campuses. Students access this site and can readily navigate its…"
"Leigh,
I definitely will continue to utilize the graphics that my students use to relay learning through the type of posters I showed this summer. Future lessons will use graphics in my culinary class where students will have journals devoted…"
"Megan,
Great article and questions and so appropriate for today's teaching practices. Inquiry-based instruction is a perfect strategy to use with Common Core State Standards. CCSS promotes independent learning which occurs when students…"
"Hello Laurel,
Lamott sounds like an excellent instructor. She uses fiction to hook her students. As a science teacher one of the objectives I taught was observation, fact verses opinion, your question reminds me of this lesson but backwards!…"
"Hey Leigh!
Graphics are already part of our writing process in my class. I have students develop their own visual representations whenever we learn new vocabulary, sketch their favorite part of the chapter they read for homework, do a…"

Leigh A. RasmussenNNWP Summer Invitational 2011Assignment 2: Ning discussionBook: Moline, Steve. (1996). I See What You Mean. Stenhouse Publishers Portland, Maine Summary:I enjoyed this book for several reasons. Steve Moline discussed the use of graphics as a form of communication at school, work, and home. Moline points out how the visual element is frequently used in our everyday life and people of all ages are expected to understand them. As educators we need to teach our students how to…See More
"Leigh,
I am really looking forward to hearing your presentation. I am always thinking about how to inspire students to own their learning. Sounds like having students write down their connection, whether it's text to text or text to self could…"
"Leigh,
I love the idea of a notebook in which the students would be able to use in other classes and also incorporate drawings. In my class, during writing time, I allow the students to write, draw, or doodle as long as they are busy with…"
"Leigh,
I think the Breakthroughs book gives a great example about students writing for an authentic audience. Page 125, the entry about students writing to each other from one of Mr. Berkman's class to another may be a way…"
"Leigh- it was great to work with you on Friday. I'm glad we had the chance to talk with Carol and rephrase your question because ultimately YES I think students will benefit from the work you are doing. I can't wait to see how your…"
