Bold Beginnings

Newsletter

This week acknowledges the importance of getting started.

1. These posts kicked off our 2020 book study for Engaging Literate Minds: Writers Workshop: Imagining What is Possible by Michelle Olson, A Special Place by Annie Palmer, and Teaching for Today and Tomorrow by Ryanne Dechane.

2. I entered an essay into this writing contest, a piece titled “Lost and Found”. Search “renwickme” to find it and read it…and upvote it if you like it!

3. “When we don’t see the water, it’s a sign we’re benefitting from being part of the dominant culture.” - an insightful blog post from Seth Godin

4. How Current Events Are Inspiring Student Research Projects by Jin Yun Chow - check out the many examples of project ideas that incorporate the literacies (PBL Works).

5. If you haven’t before, now is a great time to start journaling. Read about the benefits here (University of Rochester Medical Center) and learn about a specific method - Bullet Journaling - here (Ryder Carroll).
