The Big Idea
Using “Everyone Sits at the Big Desk” by Nancie Atwell: Rhetoric and Composition , “Let’s Take Another Look at That Fish” by Bob Tierney, and “Everything I Know About Teaching Language Arts, I Learned at the Office Supply Store” by Kathleen O’Shaughnessy, to inform our thinking, we will explore and flesh out what is teacher research, how we can utilize it in our practice. These articles are models of teacher research. We will examine how these pieces mimic the research process, and what issues are the author struggling with. We will use close reading strategies and writing to tease out what changes did they try to make and how did they synthesize these burning questions into a piece of writing?
