Eric Pritz: November 2009
http://ericpritz.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Is a middle school social studies teacher. He believes that writing is the ultimate technological learning tool. Sunday, November 22, 2009. Thinking in the Air. The National Writing Project in Philly was worthwhile, but not for the reasons that I expected. The most valuable part of the gathering was not the workshops or the keynote speaker, but the conversations with people. The conversations I had at the NWP were prompted as well. Someone may have asked, “What did you think of that workshop? I bought in...

Eric Pritz: December 2009

Is a middle school social studies teacher. He believes that writing is the ultimate technological learning tool. Monday, December 21, 2009. A photo of a herdsman. I can see his breath. As he crouches by a fire. And warms his fingers. Meet and talk nearby. I think of the cost. In lives, energy, money. To make this meeting. Of power, religion, war. Where so much desire. Has descended upon one. Man warming his hands. And I aren't so far apart. We want the same thing. The peace that comes with.

Eric Pritz: We’re Off to See the Wizard
http://ericpritz.blogspot.com/2010/01/were-off-to-see-wizard.html
Is a middle school social studies teacher. He believes that writing is the ultimate technological learning tool. Friday, January 15, 2010. We’re Off to See the Wizard. I could have stayed there, but my team teacher of English wasn’t satisfied. She wanted to turn the I-Search into a combined English and Social Studies writing project. She wanted to help them write creative non-fiction stories, whatever that was. Refusal of the Call. Crossing the First Threshold. Imagine a bunch of 7th graders whistling &#...

Eric Pritz: October 2009

Is a middle school social studies teacher. He believes that writing is the ultimate technological learning tool. Monday, October 26, 2009. At a recent intake meeting, I learned of a prospective new student with significant challenges. I thought about how another teacher, perhaps even I a few years ago, might have smiled outwardly yet quietly internalized this information. How am I going to do this? Is this fair to my class? Links to this post. Thursday, October 22, 2009. An Almost Perfect Day. Unbelievea...

Is a middle school social studies teacher. He believes that writing is the ultimate technological learning tool. Wednesday, September 30, 2009. I Am Not A Control Freak. Today, my students sit at their desks, read 12 pages of a textbook and take notes. It is very quiet. I do a lot in my classroom as well. I also have students read and write in class. When I do, kids sit in their seats and read or write for a sustained period of time, quietly. I’m back. Here are the comments. 8220;It’s interesting&#...

The Proclamation of 1763 isn’t sending my students into spasms of excitement. I wonder why? Now, learn this, students. Ain’t gonna happen. Then another store looks into setting up in town.
