Creative Writing Lesson Using Twitter as Inspiration
This Powerpoint presentation reviews plot and story elements. Teachers should have tweets available for students that are grade-level appropriate. Students are then asked to story map their story using a 140 character tweet as their inspiration. They will then draft the story. It's so cool to see how unique stories evolve from just 140 characters!

Experience
My teaching experience is continuously evolving. I began my career in a PreK Headstart program. I have taught Kindergarten and 1st grade, as well as 7th and 8th creative writing. I have found my niche teaching 3rd grade, focusing primarily on readers' and writers' workshops and emotional intelligence.
Teaching style
My role as a teacher is multifaceted. I recognize that every student is unique—endowed with distinct capabilities and learning styles. As a mentor, I seek to display patience, empathy, and a genuine concern for my students. As a facilitator of knowledge acquisition, I believe learning should be accomplished through motivation and encouragement. It is my responsibility to share ownership in my students’ education, recognizing them as participants rather than as recipients. In fashioning a student-centered approach, I aspire to fuel their interests and allow my students to express confidence in their abilities to learn and succeed.
