My first class

After a very cold walk to the conference center, I've already had two- count them- two coffees.

My first class was a giant brainstorming session. Sitting at a table with 8 other teachers, we were given three questions about teaching writing, and 45 minutes to discuss the questions. Then, we had to create a poster to share what we discussed.

After 45 minutes of sharing, each table took a turn sharing their poster with the whole class. Then the class will vote on the favorite, and that team will share their poster with the whole big group (500+ people). I hope my team wins!

P.S. The teacher I'm sitting next to is from Grand Valley State University! Go Michigan!
