Join us this Sunday, October 20, at 8:00 p.m. ET for an #ĢTVchat on the ĢTV Day on Writing® with questions and resources for teaching writing in the classroom.
Since the October #ĢTVchat is on the actual ĢTV Day of Writing, we wanted it to be led by the #ĢTVvillage. We asked, “What questions do you currently have about teaching writing?” and received many great responses. These six questions came directly from the teacher community and we have tagged them all to give them credit.
The following questions will be shared during the Twitter chat, after introductions:
WARM-UP: Please introduce yourself and share how you celebrated the ĢTV Day on Writing in your classroom. #ĢTVchat [8:04 p.m.]
