“The purpose of punctuation is to make writing easier to read,” Louis Menand writes, “and making writing easier to read means giving greater and greater numbers of people access to the written word.” A new book by Florence Hazrat, celebrating punctuation in all its forms, makes the striking claim that the history of punctuation is the history of humanity itself. It has entered into a class of books about the mechanics of writing—to which Sarah L. Kaufman’s “Verb Your Enthusiasm” belongs. But how do we think about these sentences, words, and marks amid a current evolution in the phenomenology of reading? Authors like Hazrat and Kaufman want us to understand reading as a bodily experience, one which can transmit an author’s state of mind, or set of emotions, to our own. Menand considers the strange power of, among other things, punctuation: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/UV…

A class students enjoy can also be a class where serious learning happens. A meta-analysis of 69 studies and nearly 200,000 students found that engagement predicts achievement. Other studies show the deep thinking we want from students starts with them being invested.

Toxic multitasking (such as scrolling TikTok while watching TV) is the norm — but that doesn’t make it normal.
You can opt out and take control of your attention span again. Here's how: wapo.st/4y8kFWz

A student gives a wrong answer. Before calling on someone else, find out how they got there. A quick “Talk me through your thinking” might reveal a missed step, a misunderstood question, or an approach that almost worked.
You don’t have to pretend the answer is correct or turn every mistake into a long class discussion. Correct it clearly. When it makes sense, give the student a chance to try the next step. You can keep the lesson moving while showing students that an incorrect answer doesn’t have to end their participation.
