KEYNOTE
The evening’s keynote is entitled, “Snapshot writing to improve literacy skills and comprehension across the curriculum”
Teachers like it, kids love it, why not use it? Poetry is not only an art product, it is snapshot writing and can be a vehicle for learning not only in language arts, but in math, science and social studies. From activating prior knowledge to summarizing and assessment, see how snapshot writing can strengthen literacy and content learning skills, meeting standards in every discipline.
