I used this graphic today to discuss the importance of pacing within a P. narrative. Ss thought about what events should be blown up, zoomed past, and cut. I used my narrative as a mentor text. Ss couldn’t get past that I had a crush in sixth grade. 😂National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) #sparksinthedark

I’m only halfway through #sparksinthedark and I am SOLD! It speaks the truth about building strong readers and writers in our classrooms. This book is IMPORTANT for every educator! Todd Nesloney and @teachermantrav, well done. I am thankful that I get to learn from you!

The book that solidified my love reading. My mom suggested to write the author. I did. DeClements wrote me back! It was 1984, & I was a struggling reader. Her words of encouragement opened the doors to a world of possibilities. Christina Ramos #SparksInTheDark #iteachLFU
