THINK LIKE A WRITER, for better learning and better living
Hello, I am Penelope Torribio, known to many as Mrs. T. I have been working with students of all ages and all abilities—including those who fall under the category of the most challenged and challengings classroom. I was always and continue to searching for techniques to help students discover their voices, their true creative selves, to improve academically, and, if necessary, help students replace non-positive behavior choices with positive actions. This structure has been very successful, and has led to my being sought out to speak at brain conferences, teacher trainings, presentations in schools, libraries, museums, and festivals.
Here is the organization of this sight:
Think like a Writer
The Cooperative Classroom,

- Never teach one thing when you can teach two or more.
- Help students of all ages Think Like a Writer to improve academic, critical, and creative perspectives, imagination, and their own talents.
- What I call The Cooperative Classes reduces behavioral issues, fosters a positive learning atmosphere, and helps students support one another.
- Keep an Education Journal. These are simple, powerful tools for reflection, growth, experiments, goals, and teacher protection.
- Directive Drawing is a powerful tool for Diagnosis, listening, and creativity.
- Songs, Stories, and the Magic of Puppetry, especially for teens, are powerful tools for learning, behavior transformation, and establishing a Cooperative Classroom.
Musicals, Songs and Stories
Explore:
My children’s musicals and songs were created in the classroom, often with student participation. Through stories, songs, puppetry, and writing, I share techniques that bring classrooms together and make learning meaningful and fun. It is a great way to help students develop their imagination and learn to work with others.
To my surprise, I was asked to become a speaker, presenter, and workshop leader, and to teach Think Like a Writer on stage for Author’s Days, museums, universities, and libraries. I was even asked to teach teachers of street and tribal students in India about brain-based learning and how to teach with Minimum Supplies.
