TUESDAY — JUNE 23, 2020

Start Your Day With StoriesInternational storyteller and children’s author, Dr. Michael Lockett, will bring to life the power of stories in his keynote, Planting Seeds of Learning – One Story at a Time. He will demonstrate how to use stories to help improve students’ speaking, listening, vocabulary, reading comprehension and interaction with one another in the classroom. Plan to laugh and enjoy learning to tell stories. You will be inspired to use stories to boost learning motivation and promote literacy with students of all ages.

Embark on an Equity Journey With Cornelius MinorWe often say that "every kid belongs" and we value all learners, but in many classrooms, the outcomes tell a different story. Too often, school becomes a place where only certain kinds of students can succeed--the ones who sit still, engage socially, speak in front of a group, or write on-demand. What happens to the kids who are not these kinds of learners? What about students who produce knowledge actively or audibly or deliberately or in ways that are not deemed "normal?" In educational spaces, conversations about school-based equity are sometimes limited to superficial conversations on gender, race, or social class. In this session, Equity of Opportunity: The Methodologies of Teaching ALL Kids, we will push beyond the surface to co-construct classroom literacy experiences that fully embody our declared values of "every student." We will examine classroom discourse, teacher moves, opportunities for student practice, process, thinking strategies, and text types.

This session will be offered for both K-3 and 4-12 sections.

Take Note With Tanny McGregorStudents deserve to express themselves in a multitude of ways. Visual notetaking, or sketchnoting, is a versatile thinking tool that provides choice, boosts engagement, extends recall, and invites deeper comprehension. In this session, Thinking with Pen in Hand: Using Sketchnotes to Promote Comprehension and Focus, we will identify the research and then get practical. Learn how to get started as a sketchnoter, how to launch this practice with students, and see how teachers across grade levels and content areas have welcomed sketchnoting into their instructional repertoires...all with pen or stylus in hand!

This session will be offered for both K-3 and 4-12 sections.

WEDNESDAY — JUNE 24, 2020

Author/Illustrator Superstar"Did you always want to be an author?" "What made you want to illustrate children's books?" Dan Santat, award-winning author and illustrator, might surprise you with his answers to these questions. In his session entitled A Slow Growing Mass of Tangible Thoughts, Dan will share how life and influences led him to a career in art and children's publishing...and how that was not the life path he had planned.

Author Extraordinaire As an avid reader and lover of stories, Jasmine Warga knows that books have power. In her session, Fictional Narratives: Building Emotional Vocabulary and Asking Difficult, but Necessary Questions, Jasmine will discuss how fictional narratives help build the emotional vocabularies of our young people, and in turn, gives them the tools that enable them to ask difficult, but necessary questions about the world around them. She will explore the idea that literature can push the boundaries of

our conversations with one another in order to grow.

Our book talking sessions at Literacy in Motion are a consistently huge draw! Join Karen Biggs-Tucker as she highlights the newest titles for readers in grades 4-12 while Megan Truax shines a spotlight on the best new books for K-3 readers. Expanded bookstore hours allow you to get your hands on these books right away!

BREAKOUT SESSIONSUsing Tools in K-2 Reader's and Writer's WorkshopsJamie Utecht, Cecilia Dahm, and Heidi Schultz will share different tools and organizers they have used in literacy workshops. You will learn how to use tools to help your students as readers and writers.

Interactive Vocabulary K-3This session, facilitated by Andrea Mear and Jessica Doneske, will help you cultivate an interactive vocabulary routine that can be adapted to fit any curriculum. Explore different application activities that students can do with guided support and independently.

Amplify Meaning: The ART of the Picture Book in Grades 4-8Making meaning is what reading is all about! Brian Tucker will help you learn how to foster students' comprehension skills by utilizing the many visual modalities that are contained in picture books. You will leave with a collection of picture book mentor texts and demonstration lessons.

Use Historical Fiction to Make Reading Come Alive in Grades 4-8Award-winning author, Dr. Rob Currie, will share simple and effective strategies for using historical fiction to fuel students' enthusiasm for reading. In this session, you will experience multiple methods to make it interesting, informative, and interactive so students are hooked on books.

Blended Learning: Building in Choice, Engagement, and Responsibility in a Secondary English ClassroomIn a secondary English classroom, a blended class format can offer students choice in how and where they learn, increasing engagement and writing motivation. We will offer practical, easy-to-implement strategies and resources teachers can use either with or without flexible scheduling.
