Make Cycle 4 is live

Howdy everyone,

Make Cycle 4, which focuses on argumentative writing, is ready to be populated with your cool ideas. Link in the Make Cycle drop down menu. You’ll notice that you have a week this time for the first response: a couple of chapters from our book, but only one (longer) response. Hoping this gives you just a moment to breathe in our course pacing. You’re doing such beautiful work; thank you!

And in case you’re in need of something joyful, I recommend Mac Barnett’s TED talk, “Why a Good Book is a Secret Door,” about the power of stories with kids. Make sure you watch til the end where he shares the story of Niko and his pet whale. You’ll also want to check out his books if you haven’t already.
