I'd love to hear more about different ways you begin, and questions you use to keep others interested. One tip I've found helpful: bring bottles of water along with the snacks for those who don't have a water bottle. I've found that they are taken as much as the food!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1058349215223700929.post-53455260990258152602011-10-04T08:34:11.287-04:002011-10-04T08:34:11.287-04:00It does sound like you have the teachers' inte...It does sound like you have the teachers' interests at heart.

I will have to look for that piece on interactive writing in the units of studies.

What a good thing to plan carefully and care so much Diana that you want teachers to see your work with them as constructive. It's that concern on your part, that will make the difference for them.<br />Let us know how it goes,<br />BonnieBKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973593425566621090noreply@blogger.com
