2022 state of the scholar, tray three
Taking inventory of my pen collection helps me to ensure that the pens in my case all draw me into my writing. A process that I started back in July and continued a month later.
The process involves balancing each pen atop my guiding principals. This week, I sift through the third (of four) 13-pen trays. The tray I lovingly call the “Tray of Small-Sized Big-Hitters.”
Any journaling is journaling done right, a mnml digest
Five links. Ten sentences or fewer. On remembering that there is only one rule in journaling. That rule: do you. Successful writing is starting to write again.
The outside extremes: bold and fine nibs
Three bold nibs and three (extra) fines. A collaboration of opposites. A healthy balance of wide and thin lines provides a nib options for both small and large writing; for rapid and slow writing. Both of which are expected during my first full week of teaching.
This week also includes six round nibs. A generalist of currently inked rotations.
More bits, bobs and bullet journals: lesson plan outlines
I’m on a journey. A journey through the most-used page layouts in my teaching bullet journal. A journey most-nerdy.
This week involves a page layout designed for thinking through curriculum, and how best to help new minds connect with my curriculum. Process work where the page itself is rarely referenced afterwards. It’s the build that matters.
