Carney vs. Atwell

resource of the week is 4teachers.org. i know i will be using quizstar and rubistar in the future...if you don't know about it then you should check it out.

while i did enjoy atwell's long winded chapter on minilessons, i found carney's article a bit more appealing and to-the-point. while i thought both writer's were informative, i was simply drawn to the logical layout of carney's article on writing in the classroom. i can see myself going back to carney in the future and trying to implement these practices into my classroom.

Yo "big glasses",
it's your boy Dan here from the cohort. Thanks for commenting on my blog buddy! I agree with you that the simplicity and practicality of carney was right on point. It was laid out in such and understandable way. It's nice to read an article where the author isn't trying to sound like a know-it-all, but speaks teacher-to-teacher. Thanks again bro.
