Here's what I wrote last year at this time:
Another year, another One Little Word assignment-- regular readers might remember my new year tradition of asking my students to share one word that represents something they want more of in their lives in the coming year. This time, instead of asking the young writers to compose a paragraph about their choice, they simply posted the single word, and then each read it to the class and explained why they had chosen it. Seeing the words stand alone was powerful, but hearing the student's voices as they elucidated their ideas was quite poignant. I think I'll do it again this way next year.
Unfortunately, I did not check back with myself, and we didn't repeat the single word presentation. Perhaps I'll create a reminder for January of 2024.
And here's what I did do a bit differently:
I like this visual addition! I hope I can remember to do it again.
