How to motivate students to take ownership of their learning | The Cornerstone EP05: Are you working harder than your students? Learn practical strategies for making the learning really matter to kids so they’re self-motivated in the classroom. You’ll discover how to inspire kids to give as much energy and effort in the classroom as you do! This post is based on the latest episode of my weekly podcast, Angela Watson’s Truth for Teachers. We talked in the last episode about the importance of creating a reciprocal energy flow–gaining energy from kids instead of letting them drain you. Tell me if this is a familiar scene in your classroom: you ask a question, and the same 4 kids raise their hands every time. If you can relate to that scenario, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. So how do you do that? Kids need to have a meaningful purpose for their work just like we as teachers do! My friend Jenny teaches 3rd grade and blogs about it at Luckeyfrog’s Lily Pad. One of the kids got the idea to sell lemonade. Here’s the thing. Or, here’s another idea.
10-minute workouts to improve your writing Although some people try to find the science in it, writing is really an art. Which means it's hard to study precisely, and it's hard for us to know exactly what we can do to get better at it. But most great writers agree there are two main ways to become a better writer: write a lot, and read a lot. I could talk about both of these things all day, but today I'll focus on writing. The more often you write, the more you train your writing "muscle". I searched online for writing exercises to try but I found they all seemed to relate to creative writing and fiction. I wanted ways to improve my own style of non-fiction, research-based blogging, but nobody seems to be focusing on that. I also sent them out to some of my favourite content writers to see how they fared. At the bottom of this post I've included links to some writing prompt collections (writing prompts are things like "where are you from?" 1. But 750 words takes a lot longer than 10 minutes for most of us. Instructions Bonus points

These paragraphs will give the reader a point of entry to and a point of exit from your essay. Introduction The introduction should be designed to attract the reader's attention and give her an idea of the essay's focus. Begin with an attention grabber. The attention grabber you use is up to you, but here are some ideas:Startling information This information must be true and verifiable, and it doesn't need to be totally new to your readers.
