• *What Participants Love About The Storylines Writing Institute**

“

• The opportunity to see both the forest and the trees (with examples!). There were opportunities to learn about storylines and curriculum writing in general, as well as some of the specific routines and formats (e.g., modeling routines, TE formatting differences).*

” “

• The perspective-taking activity!*

” “

• Hearing from writers in the round tables.*

” “

• Getting to attempt to draft a lesson and teacher guide.*

” “

• I loved the shorthand description of storylines and coherence: Traditional teaching is coherent to the teacher, whereas storyline teaching is coherent to the student and the teacher.*

” “

• The ‘Student hat’ is critical in revising lessons because it helps you think of the steps you skip as an adult or points out coherence issues you didn’t see.*
