Acronyms

I caught myself using some of the acronyms that my Master Teacher was using when I was with her in September. They were meant to help the students remember certain habits and ideas, but I guess they worked on me, too!

Here are a few of them. If you have anymore, please share!

CUPS-what to look for when editting your work

SLANT-how to participate during discussion

L-listen carefully
