Welcome to the remote pause or whatever. We can do this.

Quickwrite #3: “Why Grades Shouldn’t Exist” – Alfie Kohn – Watch the video below where scholar and writer Alfie Kohn talks about the real impact of grading in the US education system. Then write your own thoughts or connections – 4 minutes.

TO-DO: Read something awesome. Make it your goal to read 30 minutes this weekend. You got this.

UPCOMING: Next week we’ll do more set-up by creating Dropbox folders, Padlet accounts, and just getting used to a reading-writing routine. See you in Zoom on Monday!
